The educators can select a sailing through summer 2023 on voyages embarking from U.S. and Canadian ports.

The company also is awarding the grand prize winner $25,000 for his or her school, while the second- and third-place winners will receive a $15,000 and $10,000 donation, respectively, for their schools.
