Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is celebrating the 15th anniversary of its travel advisor program, Partners First, with a cruise vacation sweepstakes.
Beginning today, May 1, 2026, through May 31, 2026, NCL is launching a cruise vacation sweepstakes exclusively for travel partners, giving away 15 seven-day cruises in a balcony stateroom for two. Winners will also have the opportunity to be featured in travel advisor appreciation initiatives throughout the year across a variety of marketing channels including the Company’s Partners First Facebook page.
To enter the sweepstakes, travel partners need to submit a testimonial sharing how NCL and Partners First have made selling cruises easier and more rewarding. Winning entries will be showcased across NCL’s channels, amplifying the voices of advisors and reinforcing the value of the long-term partnership.
“Travel partners are the backbone of our industry, and their success is our success,” said John Chernesky, Sr. VP and CSO of NCL, in a media statement. “As we celebrate the 15th anniversary of Partners First, now more than ever we are committed to being the easiest cruise line to do business with, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone with our travel partners. As we have seven ships set to debut through 2037, and two incredible resort-style destinations, Great Stirrup Cay in The Bahamas and Harvest Caye in Belize, there is so much opportunity ahead, and we look forward to succeeding with our travel partners.”
As part of Partners First, travel advisors receive special rates and exclusive onboard benefits for those who earn an NCLU associate’s degree and above. Furthermore, the Free at Sea Plus program is commissionable for travel advisors.
