The City of Philadelphia Office of Veterans Affairs is proud to announce the Greater Philadelphia Homecoming Cruise Giveaway, a new community initiative that honors the service and sacrifice of our recently deployed veterans.
In partnership with Beyond the Castle Travel, a Philadelphia area based, veteran-owned travel agency, this program will give one deserving local veteran and their guest the opportunity to enjoy a fully funded cruise vacation as a heartfelt welcome home.
Nominations will open on October 15, 2025, and will close on December 5, 2025. Eligible nominees must be veterans who have returned from deployment within the last 12 months and reside in Philadelphia or the surrounding counties.
The giveaway is part of a larger effort to celebrate our veteran community, spotlight local partners, and showcase Philadelphia’s growing role as a cruise departure city.
