Our Mission

A Community Cruise Like No Other

We are excited to invite you to our Third Bi-Annual Community Cruise — a special group cruise created for individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and friends — in partnership with the Down Syndrome Association of Ontario (DSAO).

As parents of an individual with Down Syndrome, we know how meaningful it is to connect with others who share similar experiences. That's why we're thrilled to host this fun opportunity to connect, share and explore the beautiful Caribbean!

Expedia Cruises in Ottawa is proud to support the Down Syndrome Association of Ontario with a donation for every cabin booked.
