IT’S DIFFERENT OUT HERE: The view from Norwegian Cruise Line
Listening to our travel agent partners continues to guide how
we progress at Norwegian Cruise Line. That was brought to life at our latest
NCL Champions round-tables. Bringing our Champions together with our business development team created a space for open, honest discussion and
valuable insight from agents at the sharp end of the industry. These conversations, alongside ongoing survey feedback, play a key role in shaping decisions and ensure we remain focused on what truly matters to our partners.
The momentum doesn’t stop there. Our Walk for Wellness
fundraising initiative is now underway and week one has been incredibly encouraging. Agents across the industry have already started clocking up the miles, sharing photos and supporting one another – all in aid of Abta LifeLine and the ITAA Benevolent Fund. A huge thank you to everyone taking part and please keep the miles coming.
To celebrate 15 years of Partners First, we’re rewarding
our agent partners with an enhanced 50% off select cruises offer. Available for a limited time to NCLU Master’s degree and above, enjoy a wide choice of sailings, including Europe this summer, and experience NCL first-hand. Discover more at
