Whet Travel gives back to each destination visited through the Whet Foundation program, Destination Donation. Everyone on the ship will be asked to bring school supplies, clothing and other items generally for an orphanage or a local charity that works with underprivileged children. Many of the volunteers rate their Whet Foundation experience as the highlight of their cruise.

Whet Foundation creates its own programs and collaborates with mental health organizations to curate uplifting panels and workshops aboard its cruises as well as engaging online discussions. These sessions have an emphasis on maintaining balance, recognizing symptoms, preventing suicide, meditation and other tools and practicing journaling. The ultimate goal is to create a supportive, caring, and connected community.

Celebration of Life is hosted to celebrate our loved ones no longer with us. The celebration consist of a biodegradable wreath and biodegradable note cards, where participants have the opportunity to share their story, write a message to their loved ones and put their message in the wreath to be thrown overboard. In many cultures the ocean is one of the primary factors that made life possible on earth. Sending off the departed into the ocean symbolizes the end of physical life and the beginning of spiritual rebirth. With the written notes to loved ones, this allows all present to participate and share in this moving experience. It symbolizes a farewell and an opportunity for closure and healing.
