MIAMI – In honor of
Teacher Appreciation Week (May 8 – 12, 2023), and the countless
educators across North America, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the
innovator in global cruise travel, today announced the launch of
its fourth annual award-winning Giving Joy recognition
program, which provides teachers with free cruises and the chance
to set sail on Norwegian Viva, the Company’s
newest groundbreaking ship.
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 Canada 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."
