Each year during Teacher Appreciation Week, NCL launches Norwegian's Giving Joy contest inviting the public to nominate a deserving educator and recognize their incredible efforts within their classrooms. Since 2019, the program has received nearly 62,000 teacher nominations, awarded nearly 300 educators with the vacation of a lifetime, and donated over $550,000 to educators and their schools which has truly helped make an impact in each of their communities. In addition to the prizes, the nomination platform itself recognizes hundreds of spectacular individuals, who all too often go underappreciated and unrecognized.
