NCL recognises the benefits of when a board includes a diverse range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. It enables NCL to better understand and serve our diverse communities whilst building confidence amongst our partners.

We are committed to maintaining our gender balance and achieving wider diversity by working with external organisations, including Changing the Chemistry, Women on Boards, and our business and charity partners. This reinforces our commitment to equity, inclusion and sustainable growth – ultimately driving long term success at NCL.
