Karryon unveils Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) as the Platinum Sponsor for our much-anticipated inaugural Open Mindset event, spotlighting wellness in the travel industry.

NCL’s commitment to our travel community’s wellbeing makes it the perfect advocate for an event prioritising wellbeing. Karryon caught up with Ben Angell, NCL Managing Director APAC about NCL’s support for our Open Mindset event.

“Quite simply, Open Mindset aligns perfectly with one of Norwegian Cruise Line’s key pillars, Wellness,” he says.

“Taking care of ourselves, and others, is a core element of our NCL Cares philosophy, and we strive to do more than just talk the talk.

“Being part of this event affirms our commitment to ‘walk the walk’ when it comes to wellbeing in the industry.”

“Now more than ever, this type of platform and focus on holistic wellness is critical,” Angell says.

“Despite the fact many people now work remotely or in a hybrid environment, we’re working longer and harder than ever, often in relative isolation, so it’s incredibly important we maintain a spotlight on the need for people to take time out for themselves, and to invest in their personal growth.”

Angell highlights the potential for positive impacts on productivity, tenure, and business success through such efforts.

Angell praises Karryon for creating a positive industry platform for sharing and connecting. He also notes how Open Mindset complements NCL’s annual Walk for Wellness initiative, which promotes wellness and community building throughout the travel industry.

Together in travel and support of wellbeing

Karryon General Manager Dani Tuffield says, “We are delighted and privileged to have Norwegian Cruise Lines as the Platinum Sponsor of our first Open Mindset event.”

“Norwegian Cruise Line shares our commitment to supporting the travel industry and our mission to bring people Together in Travel. This commitment was evident during the pandemic when NCL took proactive steps to uplift the spirits of our travel community, initiating its award-winning ‘Walk for Wellness’ program.

“NCL has provided a platform for our community to come together, fostering camaraderie and offering support. And it’s just gone from strength to strength. Thank you to Ben and the team!”
