WALKING DOES WONDERS
With Walk for Wellness, you can do great things for your mind in a very simple way, integrating sustainable positive habits into your everyday life. To assist us, we have MoveSpring, a free app that connects to the health apps on your smartphone or to your fitness tracker and counts steps. The result is a friendly challenge following a virtual nautical chart to get our industry moving – no matter where you are.
Plus, with MoveSpring, you’ll form part of a social community platform where you’ll be able to engage with fellow agents, NCL team members and mental health experts in an interactive, supportive and educational way. You’ll also get to take part in weekly challenges and in person events in select cities with the NCL team.
TAKE THE SCENIC ROUTE
"Where are we even going?" we hear you ask. Well, this is entirely up to you! Whether you're taking a short lap around the block during your lunch break with colleagues or maybe even working towards a marathon, every step counts as our goal is ambitious! Not only will Walk for Wellness take place all across continental Europe, we also have a brand new ship on the horizon. Together, we're celebrating the upcoming debut of Norwegian Aqua and want to retrace the entire first year of our new flagship – 96.235 nautical miles or 178.227 kilometres.
As you can see, we have set ourselves big goals – but importantly, they are achievable! Rest assured, whatever your current exercise regime looks like, any activity will contribute to the overall group goal. The question is, are you up for the challenge?
WALKING FOR A GOOD CAUSE
Achieving our common goal and the positive effect of walking on our health should be enough motivation for daily exercise – but being able to do good at the same time is sure to convince even the most hardened couch potato. In our partner initiative GAMIAN-Europe (Global Alliance of Mental Illness Advocacy Network), we have found a strong partner whose stated aim is to make mental illness no longer a taboo subject.
Furthermore, this pan-European patient-driven organisation represents the interests and promotes the rights of people with mental health illnesses, with the main objectives of advocacy, information and education, de-stigmatisation, cooperation, partnerships and capacity building.
