CRUISE and Maritime Voyages (CMV) last week invited guests on board its ship Astor to contribute to assisting the humanitarian crisis in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
Astor visited Maputo, in the south of Mozambique, where CMV encouraged guests to help the aid and relief program in recognition of the current crisis in Mozambique.
“As an organisation, we’re committed to supporting the destinations we visit and we’re thankful that we are able to give back to the region in this time of need,” said Dean Brazier, MD of CMV Australia.
Maputo is in the south of Mozambique and is largely unaffected by the Cyclone Idai.
CMV and its guests managed to raise $14,060 for the relief program.
However, over 3,100km2 of the country in the northern Beira coastal region has been flooded.
The 21,000grt Astor is currently on a 43-night northbound voyage from Australia to the UK with 552 guests on board.
