Building upon NCL's history of supporting educators through its
award-winning Giving Joy campaign, and on its fifth-year
anniversary, the Company is extending its gratitude for the
dedicated teacher community with a new year-round Teacher
Cruise Discount. Now, all education professionals
including active Classroom Teachers (PreK-12), Principals and
Assistant Principals (PreK-12), School Employees (PreK-12) and
College/University Professors, can enjoy a five percent discount
off any NCL voyage from anywhere in the world, as well as a
$50 onboard credit to enhance their
cruise vacation. In addition, the discount is combinable with
Norwegian's Free at Sea promotion, which provides
guests with specialty dining, shore excursion credits, free airfare
for the second guest and much more. To participate in the
new Teacher Cruise Discount, educators must be
validated through ID.me, a secure digital identity network
that allows members of the education community to verify their
identity once, and never have to re-verify their identity again
across any organization where ID.me is accepted. Additional
information about NCL's cruise discounts for teachers can be found
at www.ncl.com/teachers.
"We are proud of our history of thanking educators for their
hard work and commitment to shaping the next generation of future
leaders," said David J. Herrera,
president of Norwegian Cruise Line. "To honor these education
heroes for the long-lasting impressions they make inside and
outside the classroom, we are excited to not only award 20 teachers
on the fifth-year anniversary of Norwegian's Giving Joy program
with a free vacation aboard the soon-to-debut Norwegian Aqua™, but
to also extend the recognition to the broader educator community
across the U.S. and Canada with
our new Teacher Cruise Discount. Travel is a powerful
means of education, and we look forward to welcoming educators to
join us on board to explore the world."
From May 6 to June 7, 2024,
Norwegian's Giving Joy campaign is open and accepting nominations
for teachers making a difference in their classroom and
communities. This year, the top 20 educators across the U.S. and
Canada1 that
receive the most votes will be invited to attend an exclusive
two-night inaugural event in Boston from April 4 to
6, 2025, aboard Norwegian Aqua™ – NCL's newest ship from the
Prima Plus Class – as she makes her U.S. debut. What's more, the
top five Grand Prize winners will also have an opportunity to
attend Norwegian Aqua's christening celebration followed by a
three-night inaugural sailing from Miami from April 13 to
16, 2025.
Since 2019, Norwegian's Giving Joy campaign has received nearly
60,000 teacher nominations; more than 1.8 million votes; awarded
over 250 educators with a vacation of a lifetime; and donated
upwards of $445,000 to teachers and
their schools with the support from NCL's partners.
Now through June 7, 2024, NCL is
encouraging the public to nominate certified or accredited
educators in the U.S. and Canada
who have made an impact in their life and inspire students each and
every day by visiting www.nclgivingjoy.com.
Regarding NCL's Giving Joy campaign, Ryan Price 2023 Giving Joy winner and educator
at Buckingham Collegiate Charter Academy in Vacaville, CA said, "The best part of
traveling 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! There's only so much you can learn in a static,
unchanging classroom; however, travel is constantly stimulating,
engaging, and presenting the learner with something they've never
experienced before. And now, with Norwegian's Teacher Cruise
Discount, NCL is making it easier for teachers to explore the
world."
