Royal Caribbean Hosts Top Accounts for a Holiday Toy Drive in YUL

by Bruce Parkinson November 28, 2025

Royal Caribbean welcomed its top travel partners from the Greater Montreal Area over lunch on November 26 at Restaurant L’Osso in Montreal for a special toy-drive event aimed at spreading holiday cheer and supporting local families in need.

The initiative reflects Royal Caribbean’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the community and fostering strong partnerships within the travel industry.

In addition to top partners, representatives from TravelBrands’ Encore Cruises and Air Canada Vacations also joined the event, further demonstrating the strong collaboration within the travel sector.

Guests were encouraged to bring toys to donate, contributing to a collective effort that will benefit Sun Youth, La Guignolée and Entre Mamans et Papas. The event combined networking opportunities with a shared purpose, reinforcing the spirit of generosity during the holiday season.

TravelBrands was among the partners contributing to the Royal Caribbean toy drive.

“As a mom, giving back to children is especially close to my heart. Today’s lunch not only allowed us to thank our clients for a remarkable year, but also to support kids and families who need a little extra care” said Melodie Nash, Strategic Account Manager for the province of Québec at Royal Caribbean.

“As a multi-generational vacation brand, the well-being and happiness of families have always been at the heart of Royal Caribbean’s mission and values in Canada. This toy-drive and appreciation event brings that promise to life.” said Lisa Connell, National Director of Sales for Canada.

Connell continued: “Thank you to all our partners for an incredible 2025. Your partnership, trust, and support made every milestone possible. It truly means the world to us. We are excited for new adventures as we get ready to debut our first Beach Club in Nassau this December and excited for our third Icon Class ship – Legend of the Seas – and our second Beach Club in Santorini, Greece coming summer of 2026.

Here’s to a prosperous and inspiring 2026, filled with new journeys and shared success.”.
