Norwegian has some pretty incredible news to share with 100 educators across the U.S. and Canada – winners have been chosen for Norwegian’s Giving Joy™ contest!

 

Norwegian Cruise Line is recognizing extraordinary teachers across North America for bringing joy to the classroom. The 100 educators have won a seven-day cruise for two sailing from U.S. and Canadian ports and have the flexibility to select a sailing through summer 2023. One grand-prize winner will also take home a $25,000 donation for their school, with a second-place winner being awarded a $15,000 donation, and a third-place recipient rounding out the top with a $10,000 donation.

Recipients of the donations will be announced during Norwegian’s Giving Joy Awards event on Aug. 19, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT. Feel free to join in on the action -- the ceremony will be open to the public and can be streamed live at www.NCLGivingJoyLivestreamEvent.com and on Facebook.

Watch and cheer on these deserving educators and applaud them for their perseverance and unwavering dedication, especially during the last 16 months. Viewers tuning in will also get to enjoy Broadway and West End caliber performances from “The Choir of Man” and many surprises along the way.
