Supporting Balmoral through Amazon

If you remember the Balmoral when using the Amazon website, then we can collect a donation on every purchase made, up to the value of 0.5%. With every purchase you make through Amazon Smile, you could be helping the ship, the piers and the local economies that we serve.

If you decide to shop at smile.amazon.co.uk, you will still find the exact same products, low prices, vast selection and convenience as you normally would through Amazon.co.uk. However, if you shop via this method, there is the additional bonus that Amazon will directly gift a donation of 0.5% to MV Balmoral Fund Limited on every purchase you make. All you have to do is choose our Charity at the top of the page from the drop down menu.

If you remember the Balmoral when you make your purchase, please choose to make it through smile.amazon.co.uk instead. It doesn’t cost you more in time or money, but the end result could make a difference. Every single penny goes directly towards keeping Balmoral out of retirement, getting her operational, keeping our piers open and creating opportunities. With every passenger that walks down the gangway, the ship directly injects money into the local economies of Britain’s rural coastal communities.
