Vacation Financial Assistance

The Autism on the Seas Foundation offers Financial assistance for families that have a child diagnosed with a disability, wishing to vacation on an Autism on the Seas Staff Assisted Cruise.

Cruise Grants
Financial Assistance is awarded in varying amounts (not typically for the entire cruise amount) to immediate family members only, Parents/Guardian's, qualifying children/adults and their siblings.

Donate today to help families with special needs, who need financial assistance and the Autism on the Seas services, to turn their dream of going on vacation a reality. A special thank you to all who donate to AotSF, without whom this would not be possible.
