In the wake of coronavirus pandemic, crew members from across Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines? ocean fleet have issued a moving rendition of ?Heal the World?.
The video includes crew members from Balmoral, Black Watch and Braemar across a number of departments, including entertainment, hospitality and housekeeping.
The creator, Lawrence Calderon, orchestra pianist on board Balmoral, said: ?This is our way of raising awareness and sending positive vibes to everyone during these trying times. We all pray the world will heal.?
Sammie Firbanks, singer and entertainment host aboard Braemar, who features in the video, commented: ?The idea came from talented musician Lawrence Calderon who is part of one of the Fred. Olsen orchestras. He reached out to crew members that he knew enjoyed singing and asked to video ourselves singing ?Heal the World?.
?The message we are trying to portray is that if everyone stays at home, we can heal the world and beat COVID-19. We wanted to thank all the people that can?t stay at home; the crucial workers and front liners and, of course, a special mention to all crew members who have been working on board during this time,? he added.
