Voluntourism gets a boost from cruise lines

Crystal Cruises, among others, is once again giving voyagers the chance to do good on the high seas through its "You Care, We Care" program. This year, guests and crew will be able take volunteer excursions around the world while sailing aboard the Crystal Serenity or Crystal Symphony. Voluntourism opportunities, including aiding animals at the CRAM Rescue & Rehabilitation Center in Barcelona, supporting disadvantaged communities in Dubrovnik, helping underprivileged children in Singapore, keeping landscapes clean in Astoria, Oregon, and feeding the hungry in Halifax, will be available to cruisers all year.
