The annual program serves to shine a light on educators, the
unsung heroes of every community, and their relentless dedication
to inspiring students and bringing joy to the classroom every day.
To date, Norwegian's Giving Joy 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. This year, NCL will award the top 20
teachers across the U.S. and Canada1 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, the second vessel from the all-new Prima Class,
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," said David J. Herrera, President of Norwegian Cruise
Line. "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."
Now through June 9, 2023, 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 each and every
day by visiting www.nclgivingjoy.com.
On Norwegian's Giving Joy campaign, Shannon Cooke 2022 Giving Joy winner and teacher
at Hunters Point Community Middle School in Long Island, NY said, "This was such a great
experience. It was amazing to meet teachers from all over
North America who shared very
similar goals and visions of teaching. When I returned from my NCL
cruise, I was able to incorporate my trip to the ancient ruins in
Mexico into our sixth grade
Civilizations unit."
Herrera continued, "My wife is a second-grade teacher, and I see
first-hand the passion that goes behind connecting with and
motivating students each and every day. It is an honor to
award these hard-working educators and commend them for their
dedication to their students. We look forward to welcoming them on
board our ships and providing them with an unforgettable and
well-deserved cruise vacation."
