About Us

BEYOND THE DIAGNOSIS – BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOU!

Introduction:

Since 2001 Fun Cruise and Travel (FCT) has helped over 2,000 persons around the world achieve positive results in managing their disease through diverse on-board programs that encourage new relationships and provide the opportunity to share experiences and information with people from different areas across the United States.

Our positive, caring, and highly effective staff helps to empower those we serve. Our “can do” outlook and full commitment allows us to be the leader in what we attempt to do……support people living with a chronic illness to actively participate in on-board programs that focus on maintaining an optimistic outlook for the future.

Our successful background gives us the unique advantage of helping  to provide and trying to ensure your enjoyment of the cruising experience. We are focused on the right things! We understand that it takes the highest levels of teamwork and communication on board a cruise ship to help you “be the best version of you!”

Goals:

The overall goal of the program is to foster networking and help support each participant develop a concept of themselves as someone who is “more than a diagnosis.” We also strive to help participants value themselves for who they are and what they have to offer “beyond their diagnosis.”  Through these cruise programs we endeavor to:

• Build on the strength of each person.
• Facilitate adjustment to the disability.
• Provide opportunities for socialization.
• Enhance life’s satisfaction.

Our Cruising Program:

Fun Cruise & Travel (FCT) believes that patients have a right and an individual responsibility to help manage their condition. However, all too often, they become confused or discouraged by the complexities of the system, and as a result never find out about the services available to help them solve or cope with their symptoms. FCT attempts to break that cycle by providing a simple, unique, informative, and fun way for individuals to find out where they can turn to and what they can do to assist themselves.

FCT partners with organizations that improve the lives of people with chronic diseases. Through these partnerships we develop workshops that strive to empower each person to become an active participant in their individual care by learning about possible options that respect their diverse backgrounds and needs. We strongly believe that interacting and communicating with others who are facing similar challenges and concerns can be therapeutic, comforting, and enjoyable.

Join us for fun, practical, and customized programs that provide the best cruising experience to each ‘community’. We will assist you to in planning for and experiencing all the amenities of a cruise ship. We’ll help to customize your choice of programs that promote independence, health and fitness, advocacy, socialization, and best of all fun!

Through the years the faces of our staff may have changed, but our mission remains as strong today as it was nine years ago. We remain ready to serve your ‘community’ with the same dedication, and quality professional support as we have in the past.  We’ll help you “move beyond the diagnosis and be the best version of you!”
