Why a SURVIVORship Cruise?

When you are going through your fight with cancer and even post cancer, you may feel so alone. This feeling could be overwhelming and can leave you feeling depressed and unwanted……well, that’s how I felt and some days, still feel that way. So, I created this cruise as a way to bring SURVIVORS of ALL cancers together to CELEBRATE life, EMBRACE the support from others, and find ways to LIVE our best life through the at sea workshops. By being on a cruise with other SURVIVORS, Care-givers, Family, and Friends, it will create a bond that will last a lifetime.

Who Should Attend?

SURVIVORS of cancer, heart-attacks, domestic violence, etc., care-givers, family, and friends. Anyone that has been affected by cancer or any other chronic illness that is looking for an opportunity to escape and be around others dealing with their new “Normal”, should attend.

Why Should YOU Attend?  

No one knows how strong they are until being STRONG is all they can do. Join other SURVIVORS and CareGivers that understand what you went through and together learn ways to continue to push through your SURVIVORship journey. You will leave with a new, like-minded group of friends......OK, your new FRAMILY!

Workshops – At – Sea

The workshops at sea will provide inspiring and uplifting sessions that will empower our mind, body, and spirit. You will hear from speakers that understand what it means to fight for your life and to constantly think if the cancer will return. These workshops will tackle those thoughts and discuss ways to move beyond cancer by creating strong networks. The workshops are opened to EVERYONE.
