Norwegian Cruise Line is now the official cruise line of the National Hockey League.
The two brands have inked a multi-year U.S. partnership deal that gives Norwegian exclusive marketing rights and designations. The cruise line will also be able to tap into the strength of NHL’s marketing, digital and social media channels.
Norwegian will be the presenting sponsor of the NHL’s weekly top goals content, which ends with the goal of the year. Fans get to vote on the content for a chance to win prizes, including the grand prize of a Norwegian cruise. The cruise line will also have a presence at NHL events, including NHL All-Star Weekend, NHL Stadium Series and NHL Winter Classic.
In addition, the cruise line will get national broadcast exposure in the U.S. on ESPN and TNT via in-arena advertising boards and virtual in-ice ads.
“The passion and excitement we see from (NHL) fans is truly contagious, and we share that same electrifying passion for traveling the globe and delivering more to see, more to do and more to enjoy for our guests,” says Adam Malone, chief marketing officer for Norwegian Cruise Line.
“Through this partnership, the NHL has provided a fantastic platform for us to connect with their fans, and we cannot wait to show them how they can ‘Experience More at Sea’ with NCL," Malone continued.

What could be better than an upscale dining experience where the food is complemented by impeccable service and only slightly outshined by 180-degree views of the sun setting over the ocean? Take the same restaurant, make it adults-only and put it on a cruise ship full of kids. If that sounds like an ideal date night and you like French food, then the Remy restaurant on Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy should be on your splurge list.
If you enjoy a big-ship experience but prefer that your vessel's sundeck not resemble a water park, then both Holland America Line and Princess Cruises should be on your short list.
What makes each of us happy is certainly subjective. However, there is one easy way you can increase your chances of feeling that emotion: Choosing to live in a happier state. In September, WalletHub released its study ranking the happiest states in the U.S. It came to its conclusion after evaluating all 50 states across three key dimensions: emotional and physical well-being, work environment, and community and environment. Those three dimensions were evaluated using 30 metrics, including the physical health of the population, sleep rates, food insecurity, commute times, income growth rate, average leisure time per person, safety, and more. Each metric was graded on a 100-point scale, with a score of 100 representing maximum happiness. It then averaged each state's numbers to calculate its overall score.
