Patient art shines through collaboration with Carnival Cruise Line
Installations inspired by St. Jude patient artwork set sail on Carnival Cruise ships.

St. Jude patient Ty and his family celebrate his art setting sail on the Carnival Jubilee with ship godmother Gwen Stefani.
Carnival is proud to showcase St. Jude patient-inspired art installations on their ships. Since 2010, Carnival Cruise Lines has raised more than $29 million for St. Jude kids.
We are excited that we will have this [art] as a constant reminder of our support for St. Jude to the hundreds of thousands of guests who will sail on the Mardi Gras each and every year.
