June 2026 – Royal Caribbean has partnered with Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s
Charity for Legend of the Seas’ European debut and the Royal Theater production 
of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” The partnership spotlights the charity’s
nurses, who provide expert care and practical support to thousands of children with
complex, lifelong illnesses. During the inaugural European season, onboard fundraising
will support a network of more than 250 specialist nurses.

Launching ahead of National Children’s Nurses Day on 30 June, the partnership aims
to shine a light on the charity’s specialist Roald Dahl Nurses, who provide expert
care and practical support to thousands of children with lifelong, complex conditions.
Onboard donation opportunities and fundraising moments across _Legend’s _inaugural
European season will help support the charity’s network of more than 250 specialist
nurses working across NHS Trusts, delivering coordinated care alongside emotional
and financial support to families. 

"As a brand focused on creating memorable holidays for families, it’s especially
meaningful to partner with Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity to support
the families who need it most," said Gerard Nolan, VP & MD, EMEA, at Royal Caribbean."
With Roald Dahl’s ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ headlining entertainment on

debut the newest family holiday in Europe. Roald Dahl Nurses provide extraordinary
care to families every day, and we’re proud to champion their work through fundraising
initiatives and by welcoming members of the nursing community onboard for a well-
deserved break."

complex, lifelong conditions and their families and communities," said Louise Griew,
Chief Executive, Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity. "We’re delighted to

**About Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity The charity provides specialist
nurses and support for seriously ill children across the UK.

Currently, over 250 Roald Dahl Nurses care for more than 50,000 children living 
with complex, lifelong conditions. But there are many more children who do not receive
this vital specialist care.

For many families, the road to diagnosis is complex and uncertain, juggling hospital
visits, managing medications, and navigating treatments and tests. They are often
under the care of multiple specialists, across different hospitals.

Roald Dahl Nurses are a vital lifeline to the whole family. They coordinate care,
provide emotional support, and offer a trusted, familiar presence both in hospital
and at home. They help families feel less overwhelmed and isolated and more in control.
