The World Cruise Awards Gala was held recently in Madeira, Portugal. The fourth annual event was attended by representatives from cruise lines.
As we are near the end of the year, the awards recognize "the best of" different cruise lines during the past year.
Yahoo! Life reported:
Many major cruise brands attended the fourth annual World Cruise Awards Gala Ceremony, hosted in Funchal, the capital city of Madeira in Portugal.
The results follow a year-long search for the world’s leading cruise brands. Votes were cast by cruise-industry professionals and the public, with the nominee receiving the most votes in a category named as the winner.
That's a unusual way to hand out awards: The weight of an industry member was five times that of a random cruiser.
The awards "had the privilege of recognizing cruise brands that are stellar examples of excellence in their field," World Cruise Awards Director Chris Frost said in a statement.
World Cruise Awards is the sister event of the World Travel Awards, which was launched in 1994 to celebrate excellence in global travel and tourism.
Norwegian Cruise Line was named "Best Cruise Line".
