INTERCRUISES COMMUNICATIONS SURVEY 2014NOVEMBER 2014

Later this year the Intercruises Communications Survey 2014 will be launched and again Intercruises is supporting Save the Children, with $10 donated to the Save the Children Emergency fund for every completed survey. The 2013 version of the survey was distributed to cruise line executives and asked how Intercruises could improve different elements of its communications. For each completed survey, Intercruises made a contribution to the Save the Children Emergency Fund – in total over $3500 was donated. For those that completed last year’s survey, the donation made by Intercruises on your behalf has been helping children affected by emergencies in Syria, the Philippines and Iraq, such as providing blankets for those that no longer have shelter.
