The 100 winners will embark on a five-night cruise aboard the line’s upcoming ship Norwegian Prima during its inaugural voyage from Galveston, Texas on October 27. During the sailing, Grammy award-winning artist Kelly Clarkson will host a concert on board.
A special awards ceremony will also take place to honor the educators, and to announce the top three Grand Prize winners who will each receive $25,000, $15,000, and $10,000 for their schools, respectively.
“We couldn’t be more excited to celebrate and reward these classroom warriors with an incredible vacation on board our newest, beautiful ship, Norwegian Prima,” said Harry Sommer, president, and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. “Each of these educators dedicate themselves to their students and their communities. Their role is to broaden their students’ horizons with new experiences, and now we are honored to have the opportunity to do the same for them.”
The Giving Joy program is designed to highlight the connection between travel and education and to recognize teachers for their dedication to inspiring students each day. By the end of this year, the program will have awarded 230 teachers with free cruises, and donated over $235,000 to schools since 2019.
