A round up of this year’s Cruise Critic UK Editors’ Picks Awards winners, including many of our leading cruise line partners.
Published on 06 Dec 2019
On 4th December 2019, Cruise Critic named the best cruise ships, lines and ports in the annual UK Editors’ Picks Awards. The awards, which are now in their eleventh year, are selected by a global panel of impartial cruise experts from Cruise Critic. Adam Coulter, UK Managing Editor at Cruise Critic said, “The desire for more experiential holidays, especially amongst younger travellers is certainly helping to boost the UK cruise sector. There is more choice than ever before in ocean, river and expedition cruises as a result of an array of exciting new ships launched this year and next.
“Whether you are cruising as a multigenerational family, a couple or solo, travellers are starting to realise that there is a cruise for everyone. Our awards combine our editors’ impartial cruise expertise, based on first-hand experiences and industry knowledge, to help travellers select the best cruise choice for them from an increasing number of exciting ships and itineraries that are available – many of which now sail directly from the UK.”
