To celebrate the 15th anniversary of its dedicated travel
advisor program, Norwegian Cruise Line announced a cruise vacation sweepstakes
to honor its long-term commitment to the travel agent community.
From now through May 31, 2026, Norwegian will run a cruise
vacation sweepstakes exclusively for travel partners, giving away 15 seven-day
cruises in a balcony stateroom for two. Winners will also have the opportunity
to be featured in travel advisor appreciation initiatives throughout the year
across a variety of marketing channels, including the cruise line’s Partners
First Facebook page.
To enter the sweepstakes, travel partners need to submit a
testimonial sharing how NCL and Partners First have made selling cruises easier
and more rewarding. Winning entries will be showcased across NCL’s channels,
amplifying the voices of advisors and reinforcing the value of the long-term
partnership.
“Travel partners are the backbone of our industry, and their
success is our success. As we celebrate the 15th anniversary of Partners First,
now more than ever we are committed to being the easiest cruise line to do
business with, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with our travel
partners,” Norwegian Senior Vice President and Chief Sales Officer John
Chernesky said.
“As we have seven ships set to debut through 2037, and two
incredible resort-style destinations, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas and
Harvest Caye in Belize, there is so much opportunity ahead, and we look forward
to succeeding with our travel partners,” Chernesky added.
Since its inception, Partners First has been at the center
of NCL’s relationship with travel partners, providing resources, incentives and
support that empower advisors to succeed. Over the past decade and a half, the
program has evolved to strengthen the partnership between NCL and the travel
agent community through open communication, active listening to advisor
feedback, and taking action whenever possible to support their needs better.
