Send Me On vacation recipients dressed up in mermaid costumes for a photoshoot by the poolside
A group of breast cancer survivors from the US, UK and Singapore led by US‐based non‐profit organisation Send Me On Vacation, were invited by Royal Caribbean International’s Asia Pacific office to sail on a three‐night cruise from Singapore to Penang over the weekend, on Voyager of the Seas.

As part of the group’s activities onboard, they were dressed up in mermaid costumes for a special photoshoot by the poolside.

This is the second time for Send Me On Vacation recipients on sail with Royal Caribbean in Asia.

Cathy Backus, founder of Send Me On Vacation who sailed with the group said, ‘Our recipients transform into mermaids to reconnect to their inner beauty, strength and grace. Experiencing a vacation after fighting breast cancer ignites the spirit and restores joy and happiness back into life after the fight.’
