Norwegian Cruise Line University’s award-winning program at sea promotes continuing education for its star students.
NCL University, Norwegian’s CLIA-accredited online travel agent “college of cruise knowledge,” has expanded its acclaimed higher education program for its travel partners from the computer to a real-life Freestyle Cruising experience at sea. This in-depth, on-board, event includes an executive host from Norwegian, a 25-credit CLIA public relations seminar, behind-the-scenes ship tours, panel discussions and group activities. To qualify for this enhanced at-sea experience, travel partners must have completed, at a minimum, the Freestyle Specialist level at NCL U.
Norwegian Cruise Line’s online university opened its virtual doors in 2008 and is one of the most innovative and successful programs available to travel agents today. With thousands of registered students and growing, NCL U has enhanced its training from the interactive experience of its online program to a continuing educational experience that includes the PhD @ Sea program aboard its ships.
“At Norwegian, we highly recommend the use of a travel professional when booking a cruise with us,” says Andy Stuart, Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Passenger Services. “With NCL U, we are investing in our travel partners' product knowledge, marketing and sales skills so our guests will know they are relying on an expert who knows our product inside and out."
