“We appreciate the strong partnership we have with Norwegian Cruise Line and encourage our members to take advantage of the tools NCL offers to agents,” said Roger E. Block, president of Travel Leaders Network, in a written release. “In October, NCL hosted 28 of our top-producing agency members onboard the Norwegian Epic for our annual Elite Event, which served as both a reward and an educational opportunity for them. That’s the nature of the relationship we have built.”
