At the October 7 presentation of the coveted annualConde Nast Traveler Readers` Choice Awards, Celebrity Cruises again took top honors in the premium cruise category.
According to results to be published in the November edition of Conde Nast Traveler, Celebrity ranked third — behind only luxury lines Crystal Cruises and Radisson Seven Seas — in the Top 25 Cruise Lines: Large Ship Lines poll.
Subscribers` responses resulted in Celebrity`s rating of 85.8 out of 100, up from last year`s score of 82.9. Celebrity`s total score has increased every year since 2001.
The annual poll asks the magazine`s subscribers to evaluate cruise lines on a combination of itineraries, crew/service, cabins/design, food/dining, activities/excursions and entertainment/events.
Celebrity attributes its steady rise over the last four years to its extensive series of brand enhancements; a new category of accommodations introduced in 2003, ConciergeClass; and an accelerating momentum building on this year`s launches of Celebrity Xpeditions and the line`s exclusive partnership with Cirque du Soleil.
We are absolutely thrilled with this award, which validates the enhancements we`ve made to-date, and encourages us to continue to present our guests with new and innovative cruise experiences, said Celebrity`s President and COO Jack Williams. We are honored to have the endorsement of the sophisticated readers of Conde Nast Traveler.
