The annual program designed to highlight the connection between
travel and education and to recognize teachers for their unwavering
dedication to inspiring students every day, has awarded 130
teachers across the U.S. and Canada with free cruises and over $185,000 to schools since 2019. This year,
100 teachers will win an exclusive sailing aboard the Cruise Line's
newest groundbreaking ship, Norwegian Prima, during the inaugural
five-day sailing from Galveston,
Texas from October 27 – 31,
2022.
"We're so proud to celebrate educators, the unsung heroes of our
communities, with our Norwegian's Giving Joy program," said
Harry Sommer, president and CEO of
Norwegian Cruise Line. "After receiving more than 46,000
nominations and over one million votes within the first year of
this contest, we knew this was a worthy cause that is near and dear
to people's hearts. Teachers are tenacious, they are inspiring, and
more than anything, they are dream makers."
The month-long campaign runs from May 2
through June 3, 2022. Norwegian Cruise Line is encouraging
nominations of certified or accredited teachers in the U.S. and
Canada who strive to bring joy
into their classrooms and inspire their students day-in and
day-out. The top 100 educators with the most votes will be
one of the first to sail aboard Norwegian Prima from Texas in October. In addition, the top
three grand prize winners will receive an additional seven-day
voyage for two from the U.S. or Canada, as well as a $25,000, $15,000
and $10,000 donation respectively for
their school.
Ashley Steadman, educator at
Maynard Evans High School in Orlando,
Fla. and second place winner of the 2021 Norwegian's Giving
Joy campaign said, "Norwegian Cruise Line made me feel appreciated
throughout the entire Giving Joy experience. With the prize
money, our Student Government Association has been able to organize
student engagements throughout the year, creating a stronger sense
of community and pride for our students and staff."
Sommer continued, "Educators, like travel, leave a lasting
impression on us. They help shape who we are and expand our
horizons. Norwegian's Giving Joy campaign brings to light the
importance of travel as a powerful means of education. Travel
broadens our perspective and encourages us to discover, adapt and
accept new cultures and experiences. We cannot wait to celebrate
the next class of deserving Giving Joy winners aboard the highly
anticipated Norwegian Prima this fall."
