Carnival Cruise Line and its parent company, Carnival Corporation, are donating to nonprofits supplying short and long-term support to the thousands of people impacted by last week's treacherous floods.





"Having homeported Carnival ships in Louisiana for more than two decades, we very much consider ourselves a part of the community and, therefore, it is extremely important to us to provide aid to support the tens of thousands of Louisiana residents who have been affected by these devastating floods," said Christine Duffy , president of Carnival Cruise Line.













The cruise line is donating $125,000 and its parent company is matching that amount through its Carnival Foundation charitable arm.
