Celebrating Educators: NCL's Teacher Appreciation Initiative

Written by Shane Black | 6 May 2024 8:45:00 PM

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is proud to mark Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6 – 10, 2024) by unveiling its all-new Teacher Cruise Discount, a gesture of gratitude towards educators across the U.S. and Canada. Alongside this, NCL commemorates the fifth anniversary of its Giving Joy campaign, honouring teachers with free vacations and recognising their invaluable contributions.

A New Era of Appreciation

"Education is the cornerstone of society, and teachers play an indispensable role in shaping the future," affirms David J. Herrera, president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "To express our gratitude, we introduce the Teacher Cruise Discount and continue the legacy of Giving Joy, empowering educators to explore the world and create lasting memories."

 

An Exclusive Offer for Educators

The Teacher Cruise Discount extends a warm invitation to all education professionals, including Classroom Teachers (PreK-12), Principals, Assistant Principals (PreK-12), School Employees (PreK-12), and College/University Professors. Validated through ID.me, educators enjoy a five percent discount on any NCL voyage worldwide, accompanied by a $50 onboard credit to enhance their cruise experience. This offer, combinable with Norwegian's Free at Sea promotion, ensures an enriching and value-packed vacation for educators and their companions.

Recognising Excellence: The Giving Joy Campaign

From May 6 to June 7, 2024, NCL's Giving Joy campaign invites nominations for educators who inspire students and make a positive impact. The top 20 educators in the U.S. and Canada with the most votes will be awarded a free vacation aboard the all-new Norwegian Aqua™. Moreover, the top five Grand Prize winners will attend Norwegian Aqua's inaugural events, marking a memorable celebration of their dedication.

Inspiring Stories: A Testament to Impact

Reflecting on his experience, Ryan Price, a previous Giving Joy winner and educator, shares, "The best part of travelling is the opportunity to meet new people, which was one of the greatest rewards I received from Norwegian's Giving Joy contest. “The donation my school received from Norwegian and their generous partners has allowed us to take our students on field trips that would not have been possible otherwise, and I can't wait to provide more learning experiences outside of the classroom for my students!"

Nominations Open: Share Your Story

NCL invites the public to nominate certified or accredited educators in the U.S. and Canada who have made a difference in their lives. Nominations are accessible through www.nclgivingjoy.com, to celebrate their dedication and commitment.
