Sail for Schools

Sail for Schools is a program from Michelle Atkinson Travels that donates $100 to the school of your choice for every cruise stateroom you book.

Book a cruise. Back a school.

For every cruise stateroom you book with me, I’ll donate

$100

to the school of your choice.

You take the vacation. Your school gets $100. It’s that simple.

Traveling with friends, family, or other families from school? You can all choose the same school and make an even bigger impact.

Turn Your Group Cruise Into a Fundraiser

Traveling with friends, family, or other families from school? Choose the same school and your donations can really add up.

If 10 families each book a stateroom, I’ll donate $1,000 to your school.

There’s nothing to sell, no money to collect, and no additional cost to participate. You’re simply turning a vacation you were already planning into a way to support a school you love.

Already Booked a Cruise?

You may still be able to Sail for Schools!

If you booked your cruise directly with the cruise line and haven’t made your final payment yet, you may be able to transfer your reservation to me.

Click Start Planning and tell me about your existing reservation. I’ll check whether it can be transferred and, if it can, your cruise can earn $100 for the school of your choice.

Why Sail for Schools?

I love travel, and I love supporting our schools.

Before becoming a travel advisor, I spent years working in education and volunteering in my community. I served on a school board, chaired a school district budget committee, and spent six years as an elementary school PTO president, where we raised more than $100,000 for our school.

I know firsthand how much even a little extra funding can mean to a school, and I started Sail for Schools as a way to bring two things I care about together.

When you trust me to help with your cruise, I get to say thank you by donating $100 to a school that matters to you. My hope is that a lot of $100 donations can add up to something pretty amazing for schools and their students.

Happy sailing!

Michelle

Questions?

How much will you donate?

$100 for every cruise stateroom booked with me.

What school can I choose?

You can choose a school that’s meaningful to you, whether that’s your child’s school, your grandchild’s school, your alma mater, a local school, or another school you’d like to support.

What if I book more than one stateroom?

Even better! I’ll donate $100 for every stateroom you book. Three staterooms means $300 for your school.

Can several families choose the same school?

Absolutely! If 10 families each book a stateroom and choose the same school, that’s $1,000 for the school.

Does it cost more to book my cruise with you?

No. There is no additional charge to book your cruise with me — and through my cruise line partnerships, I can sometimes get you extra perks along the way.

When will the school receive the donation?

After you complete your cruise, I’ll mail a $100 check directly to your chosen school along with a letter explaining that the donation was made because of your trip.

I already booked my cruise. Can I still participate?

Possibly! Some cruise lines allow reservations booked directly with them to be transferred to a travel advisor before final payment. Click Start Planning and tell me about your existing reservation. I’ll find out if it can be transferred.

Can our school organize a group cruise?

Yes! If families from your school are interested in traveling together, I can help you explore cruise options and coordinate the group. Start Planning and tell me what you have in mind.

Ready to Sail for Your School?

Your next vacation could mean $100, $500, $1,000 or more for a school you love.
