In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week May 2-6, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is again awarding free cruises to educators and up to $25,000 to their schools.
Norwegian's Giving Joy recognition program has awarded 130 U.S. and Canadian teachers free cruises and over $185,000 to schools since 2019.
This year, 100 teachers will win a cruise on NCL's newest ship, Norwegian Prima, during the inaugural five-day sailing from Galveston Oct. 27-31, 2022.
"We're so proud to celebrate educators, the unsung heroes of our communities, with our Norwegian's Giving Joy program," said Harry Sommer, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line. "After receiving more than 46,000 nominations and over one million votes within the first year of this contest, we knew this was a worthy cause that is near and dear to people's hearts. Teachers are tenacious, they are inspiring, and more than anything, they are dream makers."
NCL is encouraging nominations of certified or accredited teachers in the U.S. and Canada during the month-long campaign, which runs from May 2 through June 3, 2022. The cruises will go to the top 100 educators with the most votes. In addition, the top three grand prize winners will receive an additional seven-day voyage for two from the U.S. or Canada, as well as a $25,000, $15,000 and $10,000 donation respectively for their school.
