The highly anticipated Signature Luxury Travel & Style’s Luxury Cruise Awards is back, and better than ever. It’s a compendium of the world’s finest ocean, river, expedition, family and tall-ship cruising. Our fifth annual awards celebrate the top cruise lines, ships and operators in the industry – all of which are thriving. This year saw more than one million guests across the world embark upon luxury voyages, heading towards 1.5 million by 2030. Locally, Australia’s cruise industry generated a whopping $5.63 billion for the economy in the past financial year alone, a staggering revival following the pandemic. Furthermore, a fleet of exceptional vessels entered the scene in 2023, many boasting new sustainable technologies and delivering increasingly impressive gastronomic, cultural and immersive experiences to guests. With that in mind, our annual Luxury Cruise Awards are judged by a panel of 19 leading luxury cruise experts and travel advisors who rate major cruise lines across 11 key categories, including suites, service, dining, wellness, itineraries and shore excursions. Each cruise line is awarded points that are tallied to determine the overall winners. From onboard and on-shore services to facilities and experiences, our winners and finalists set the standard for the future of cruising.
