NCL celebrates 50 years of sailing
Norwegian Cruise Line is inviting guests and travel professionals to share 50 years of memories as part of its anniversary celebrations.
December 2016 marks 50 years of sailing and the company has launched its #NorwegiansFirst50 anniversary campaign to mark the occasion.
The cruise line is asking guests, travel partners, and current and former employees to upload their photos and stories to NorwegiansFirst50.com, to create a timeline of photos and stories spanning the brand’s first 50 years.
Fans who upload memorable moments to the site and share with friends on social media can win a cruise.
Norwegian president and CEO Andy Stuart said: "We invite everyone who has sailed with us, commemorated a special occasion with us or made memories onboard to share their favorite moments and celebrate our first fifty years along with us."
Those who wish to sail during Norwegian’s official 50th anniversary this December can reserve a cabin, with eight-night cruises departing on December 18 from New York to Florida and the Bahamas on Norwegian Breakaway; from Miami to the Western Caribbean on Norwegian Getaway and from Tampa to the Western Caribbean on Norwegian Jade.
On December 19 cruisers can set sail from New York on Norwegian Gem to the Eastern Caribbean on a 10-night holiday cruise and from Miami on Norwegian Pearl, for a 10-night Panama Canal adventure.
