Spreading Joy: A Voyage to Bring Smiles on Land and Sea

November 16, 20241 min read

As our latest sea adventure comes to a close, I'm reminded of the unique joy that each cruise brings. It's not just about the beauty of the ocean or the destinations we visit, but the wonderful people we meet and the happiness we share — often symbolized by the simple act of spreading joy with our rubber duckies.

It’s in these moments, surrounded by sea and friends, that I wish I could capture this joy and share it with everyone on land. Even though bottling this feeling might not be possible, our mission of spreading happiness doesn't halt at the shore. One duckie at a time, we carry this mission with us, onto land, and into every heart we touch.

As we prepare for our December cruises, let's not forget the warmth and appreciation we felt here. Every smile shared, every duckie given, is a reminder of the joy we can bring into others' lives, on sea and land.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, our spirit of gratitude and giving doesn't pause; it only grows stronger. Let's continue to make everyone feel a little better every day, getting our ducks in a row, both metaphorically and literally, as we spread joy one duckie at a time.

Remember, everyone loves to feel appreciated, and through our actions and small gestures, like our rubber duckies, we can make a significant impact. Here's to more adventures, more joy, and more duckies spreading happiness everywhere they go.
