Royal Caribbean Group reports $61M in global community impact

Royal Caribbean Group has released its 2025 Community Impact Report, highlighting the company’s efforts to strengthen the communities and destinations it visits around the world.

Guided by its SEA the Future platform - focused on sustaining the planet, energizing communities, and accelerating innovation – the Group says it delivered $61M in total community impact across 85 destinations, supporting disaster recovery, conservation, education, workforce development, and global partnerships.

The report also introduces the Royal Caribbean Group Foundation, a new philanthropic arm designed to build on more than 30 years of community engagement and expand the company’s ability to create lasting, positive impact as part of its mission to deliver the best vacations responsibly.

“The communities we visit are central to who we are and to the experiences we deliver every day,” said Jason Liberty, Chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Group, in a statement.

“Across our brands and around the world, we’re focused on investing in ways that help those communities thrive, from education and environmental protection to disaster relief and economic opportunity. This year’s report highlights the scale of that work, and the launch of the Royal Caribbean Group Foundation gives us an even stronger platform to advance it for years to come.”
