Carnival Cruise Lines Red Nose Day - June 28, 2013

Carnival Spirit, the newest and largest ship to be home ported in Australia, sailed into Sydney on Friday June 28, 2013, proudly sporting the largest-ever red nose on a cruise ship, to mark the 26th annual Red Nose Day. Spanning seven meters in diameter and illuminated from within, the giant red nose celebrated Carnival Cruise Lines' partnership with national charity SIDS and Kids, as they encourage all Aussies to get silly for a serious cause and don their own red noses. SIDS and Kids is dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood and to supporting bereaved families. Red Nose Day is the charity's major fundraising event held annually on the last Friday of June, raising money for vital research, as well as education and bereavement support services for Australian families.
