Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) announced the launch of its
fourth annual Giving Joy recognition program, which provides teachers with free
cruises and the chance to set sail on Norwegian Viva.
As part of the celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week, running
May 8-12, the annual program serves to shine a light on educators and their dedication
to inspiring students and bringing joy to the classroom every day.
In 2023, the cruise line will award the top 20 teachers
across the United States and Canada with the most votes a seven-day cruise for
two. In addition, the top three grand prize winners will be invited to attend
the exclusive Christening voyage of Norwegian Viva later this year.
“We are proud to once again launch our Giving Joy campaign
and to continue to celebrate the very important role teachers play in our
community and for our youth, as well as to reinforce the connection between
travel and education,” NCL President David J. Herrera said.
“We believe educators are a powerful source of inspiration,
just like travel, where both aim to broaden perspectives, connect people around
the world and bring awareness to different cultures and experiences,” Herrera
continued.
Now through June 9, NCL is encouraging the public to
nominate certified or accredited teachers in the U.S. and Canada who have made
an impact in their life and inspire students every day by visiting the cruise
line’s official website.
To date, NCL’s Giving Joy program has awarded over 230
educators with a free cruise vacation and donated over $350,000 to local
schools and teachers with the support of its brand partners.
