HOW THE TABERNACLE CHOIR TURNED ITS CANCELED EUROPEAN TOUR INTO CRUISES FOR

New choir president Michael Leavitt talks to members of the Tabernacle Choir at
Temple Square before they begin their rehearsal at the Conference Center in Salt
Lake City on Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2021. It was the choir’s first rehearsal in more
than 18 months.

When the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square finally canceled its long-anticipated
European tour because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was left with a huge bill for
the cruise ship reserved as transportation, housing and meals for the choir’s
travel between concert venues.

Where most would see a financial setback, new choir President Mike Leavitt saw
an opportunity.



The Tabernacle Choir announced Wednesday that Azamara cruises will resell the
choir’s berths on the cruise ship, creating two unique Nordic cruises, and that
100% of the net proceeds from the new bookings will go to charity.




Pricing for the charitable sailings start at $999 per guest, plus taxes and
fees. There are about 700 berths available on each cruise, Azamara President
Carol Cabezas said.

“We asked, ‘Is there a way we could feed the hungry, clothe the naked and
comfort the oppressed in an alternative way?’” President Leavitt said.
“Together, we began to imagine a way that we could use this asset that was
available and look for people who might be interested in taking a break in the
summer while making the world a better place.”

The effort could raise more than $1 million to help people around the world,
Cabezas said.



“We are pleased to use this opportunity to honor the sacred directive to love
our neighbors,” President Leavitt said. “We are enormously grateful to be able
to assist CARE, the International Rescue Committee and the American Red Cross in
bringing much-needed aid to those suffering worldwide and express our sincere
thanks to Azamara for working with us to create this charitable cruise
opportunity.”

People interested in the charitable cruises have three options:



 * The first is a seven-night cruise that begins June 17 in Stockholm, Sweden,
   with stops in Finland, Poland and Germany.
 * The second is a five-night sail that departs from Copenhagen, Denmark, on
   June 24 with stops in Bergen, Stavanger, Arendal and Oslo, Norway.
 * Those two cruises can be booked back to back to create a 12-day sailing.
   Bookings will be available at www.azamara.com/charitycruises.

President Leavitt became the choir’s president in August. He announced four new
objectives for the choir in February:

 * The Tabernacle Choir has plans for a bold expansion



 * Reach more countries on future international tours.
 * Dramatically expand the choir’s digital audience.
 * Diversify its membership.
 * Play a larger role in the missionary efforts of The Church of Jesus Christ of
   Latter-day Saints.

“This rises above the four new objectives,” President Leavitt said of the
charitable cruises. “Those of us who are followers of Jesus Christ know that
this is the second great commandment and something that’s an objective for all
Christians.”

Cabezas called the charity cruise “an extraordinary solution” to the choir’s
forced cancellation.



“Our team is so excited and energized to be able to do this good,” she said.

The cruise ship, the Azamara Pursuit, docked in June 2020 after its final cruise
before the pandemic finally was allowed into a port. It returned to sea three
weeks ago, Cabezas said.



“This is a moment when the world needs to come together to meet incredible
challenges, so we’re particularly thrilled to be involved in a partnership like
this,” said Dana Tseng, senior director of development at CARE.




CARE is an international humanitarian organization that, for example, is
delivering assistance through local partners on the ground in Ukraine, Tseng
said.

“It’s really exciting for us to see what the choir and other groups are doing to
meet the moment,” she said.

The International Rescue Committee also is providing assistance for Ukrainian
refugees. It helps refugees rebuild their lives in more than 40 countries and
over 20 U.S. cities.



Millions of people across northern Europe are refugees of famine, disease or
war, President Leavitt said.

“IRC helps people integrate across dozens of cities across Europe,” said Liz
Hensler, the IRC’s Foundations & Trusts officer.



“This collaboration with the Tabernacle Choir and Azamara will allow us to
continue to deliver some of that comprehensive help to people affected by
humanitarian crises around the world. It will help us provide food, medical care
and emergency support services to families whose lives were shattered by
conflict in countries like Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen.”



Hensler said the choir’s offer “seemed like such a blessed opportunity.”

Choir members will not join the cruise because they have other obligations.

The American Red Cross provides international humanitarian aid and support to
communities in crises around the world through disaster relief, lifesaving blood
donations, and health and safety education. It supplies about 40% of the United
States’ blood.

The net proceeds of the cruises that will be donated to charity exclude the
taxes, travel agent commissions and port fees.
