Prudential will oversee $150 million in retirement assets covering approximately 2,100 participants. Tyler Finlinson of Soltis Investment Advisors is the advisor of the plan, which transitioned on September 4, 2018.

“Employers of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies like Norwegian Cruise Line, are using retirement plans and other employee benefits offerings as a strategic differentiator to help them attract and retain talent,” said Scott Gaul, senior vice president and head of sales and strategic relationships for Prudential Retirement. “At the same time, companies want to make sure they are effectively allocating their benefits resources, and they expect retirement service providers to design strategies that enable them to optimize their retirement plan.”

Optimizing retirement plans can range from redesigning the employer match to incorporating financial wellness solutions that enable plan participants to tackle other financial challenges that impact their ability to save—challenges such as student debt or lack of emergency savings.

A household name, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. is a leading global cruise company which operates the Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises brands and has a combined fleet of 26 ships offering itineraries to more than 450 destinations worldwide.

“We’re pleased to partner with Prudential to help our employees maximize their retirement plan,” said Lynn White, senior vice president, corporate human resources at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “A key factor that influenced our decision to partner with Prudential was the systems and tools they have in place to ensure the plan runs smoothly from an administrative standpoint and that our employees are engaged and take action.”
