Announcement

For more than two decades, High Seas Rally brought together an extraordinary community of riders, friends, and supporters at sea. Over the years, High Seas Rally became far more than a sailing, it became a community.

Guests returned year after year not only for the rides, the music, and the experiences onboard, but also for the friendships that formed and the shared commitment to giving back. Through auctions, raffles, and other fundraising efforts, the High Seas Rally community helped raise significant support for charitable causes, including the High Seas Rally Dialysis Fund and Wounded Warrior Project^®.

Last year we transitioned High Seas Rally from a full-ship charter to a group sailing model in an effort to continue bringing the community together while adapting to evolving booking patterns across the cruise industry.

Despite that effort, reservation levels have not developed in a way that allows High Seas Rally to continue operating as a cruise event.

This decision was not made lightly. We know High Seas Rally has meant a great deal to many people, and we are deeply grateful to the riders, guests, volunteers, partners, and charities who helped make it such a special experience for more than twenty years.

While the cruise itself is coming to an end, the friendships, memories, and charitable impact created by the High Seas Rally community will continue to be something we are incredibly proud of.

Yes. All guests with reservations for the cancelled High Seas Rally sailing will receive a full refund of the amount they paid toward their cruise reservation.

Our team is already working through the refund process to ensure that all reservations are handled as quickly and accurately as possible.

Refund processing will begin immediately. Refunds will be issued to the original form of payment used for the reservation whenever possible.

Refunds will be processed in order of booking and continuing until all reservations have been refunded. Our team will begin processing refunds April 2 and expect all refunds to be issued no later than April 8.

Once a refund has been issued, your bank or credit card provider may require an additional 5-7 business days for the funds to appear on your statement.

Refunds will be processed automatically, and guests do not need to contact our office to request a refund. We appreciate your patience as our team works through this process and understand that many guests were looking forward to sailing.

If the original payment method is no longer available, our team will contact you to arrange an alternative refund method.

At this time, there are no plans for a future High Seas Rally sailing.

High Seas Rally has always been defined by its community more than any single sailing. For more than two decades, riders, guests, volunteers, and partners helped build something truly unique at sea, and we remain incredibly grateful to everyone who was part of that journey.

While there are no future cruises planned, if circumstances were ever to change in a way that made bringing the community together at sea possible again, we would certainly welcome that opportunity. For now, however, this chapter of High Seas Rally has come to a close.

Supporting charitable causes has always been an important part of High Seas Rally. From the earliest years of the rally, the High Seas Rally Dialysis Fund helped make it possible for dialysis patients to experience the cruise by covering the significant costs required to bring them onboard and provide treatment at sea. In later years, the High Seas Rally community also directed charitable support to Wounded Warrior Project^®.

With the conclusion of the cruise program, we are working through the appropriate steps to responsibly wind down the High Seas Rally Foundation and its charitable programs. Our intention is to direct remaining charitable funds to organizations consistent with the charitable mission that has long been part of the High Seas Rally community and ECP Cares.

This includes making a contribution to National Kidney Foundation and Wounded Warrior Project^®, and supporting other charitable causes aligned with the mission of High Seas Rally and ECP Cares.

A portion of remaining funds may be used as necessary to cover the administrative, legal, and compliance costs associated with responsibly winding down the foundation and completing its charitable activities.

Information regarding the foundation’s charitable activities and financial distributions is available through its required public filings and disclosures.
