NCL’s Business Development team will continue to host additional webinars from 1 June, with sessions to focus on specific regions and itineraries from its new season of sailings.

“At a time when we are all cooped up in our homes, the one thing we are all missing is that personal connection with our industry colleagues. So whilst we can’t be there in person to support our valued trade partners, we hope that our new News & Network series creates a social platform for our partners to keep in touch, but at the same time inspire partners by learning more about our spectacular new itineraries and initiatives.” said Damian Borg, Director of Sales AUNZ at Norwegian Cruise Line.
