Carnival Cruise Line, through its ship Carnival Conquest, reaffirmed its commitment to the Aruba community through a donation of 15 cribs to Stichting Casa Cuna Progreso. The donation was officially handed over in Aruba on January 22 during a special ceremony.
Present at the event were representatives of the Aruba Tourism Authority (A.T.A.), Aruba Ports Authority N.V. (APA N.V.), and Stichting Casa Cuna Progreso. APA N.V. was represented by CEO Marc Figaroa and Chief Commercial Officer Mario Arends, while Cruise Manager Monica Bos was present representing the Aruba Tourism Authority. Jessica Canhigh, Director of Stichting Casa Cuna Progreso, received the donation on behalf of the organization.
This generous contribution is part of Carnival Cruise Line’s ongoing efforts to give back to the communities it serves. The company expressed its intention to continue supporting local initiatives and creating a positive impact in the future. Special recognition goes to Port Agency S.E.L. Maduro & Sons for their valuable assistance in coordinating the transportation and documentation of the cribs, ensuring a successful delivery.
“We are very grateful that Carnival once again thought of Aruba and included us in its giving-back program,” shared those present. “This initiative reflects a strong relationship based on mutual respect, collaboration, and a shared commitment to supporting the community.”
The donation of the cribs will directly benefit Stichting Casa Cuna Progreso and further strengthens the lasting relationship between Carnival Cruise Line and Aruba.
