1 Under-represented minority ("URM") is used to describe diverse populations, including Native American, Asian, Black, Hispanic/Latino and Native Hawaiian team members in the U.S. Except for Pride of America, we do not track ethnicity/race for our shipboard team members as the majority are URMs from a U.S. perspective.

Partnerships

We have long-term partnerships with the National Diversity Council, sponsoring the Florida Diversity Council and its South Florida local chapter. In 2021, Sixthman, our subsidiary company based in Atlanta, Georgia, specializing in developing and delivering music-oriented charters, joined the ATL Action for Racial Equity. This new initiative seeks to accelerate racial equity by leveraging the size and scale of the business community and the power of collective impact. Businesses who sign on to the initiative will focus on measurable actions across corporate policies, inclusive economic development, education and workforce development to help in addressing the region’s immobility and inequity challenges.
