MS Focus At Sea (formerly Cruise for a Cause) is an annual educational event featuring presentations from MS experts, interactive exercise sessions, and social gatherings, all aboard a beautiful cruise ship. It's a journey that can help you conquer fears and reignite a love of adventure.

While it is true that people with MS often face unique challenges when traveling, those hurdles can be overcome, and the MS Focus At Sea is a wonderful place to start. On the ship, courteous and attentive staff cater to your needs. Fine food, spectacular entertainment, great shopping, and exciting, accessible activities are all part of the experience. It is an empowering, life-affirming adventure that we offer every year.

During your days at sea, MS Focus At Sea offers on-board workshops and discussion groups on important topics to those with MS. Leading MS neurologists and other healthcare professionals present the latest information on MS research and treatments, and offer practical advice to help you live well with MS. In addition, on-board support group meetings serve to motivate and inspire both people with MS and caregivers. The cruise will also spend time in various ports, giving you the opportunity to explore exotic locations.

Cancellation of 2021 Cruise

MS Focus: the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation is cancelling our educational program on the Celebrity Apex, which was scheduled to depart Feb. 6, 2021. However, Celebrity cruise line has not cancelled the cruise.

As of this time, it appears a COVID-19 vaccine may not be widely available before the cruise departs. Based on discussions with travel advisors, we at MS Focus feel the uncertainty about the distribution of a vaccine before the cruise departs places attendees at high risk.

Because of social distancing we would not be able to use the conference room for our group meetings in the conference room. That precludes us from offering our educational program on the Apex.
