Because Coming Home Deserves a Celebration

Honoring Those Who’ve Returned Home

Thank you for your interest in the Greater Philadelphia Homecoming Cruise Giveaway, a community initiative created by Beyond the Castle Travel in collaboration with the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Veterans Affairs.

We’re taking some extra time to make this program even better for our local heroes and their families. After reviewing this year’s timeline, we decided to shift our focus toward a Veterans Day 2026 relaunch, giving us the opportunity to expand awareness, build stronger partnerships, and open nominations to even more deserving service members.

We’re deeply grateful for the support we’ve already received from the community and our partners. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to bring this special initiative back—bigger and better than before.

To receive updates or explore sponsorship opportunities for the relaunch, please contact:

This giveaway is about more than a cruise — it’s about gratitude, connection, and homecoming.
