EWING, N.J., July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cruise Critic®, the world's leading cruise reviews site and online cruise community, has announced the winners of its fourth annual Cruisers' Choice Destination Awards, naming the world's most popular cruise destinations, based entirely on consumer ratings submitted with reviews on Cruise Critic. The awards name the top cruise destinations across 18 regions worldwide. The awards also highlight the best cruise lines to visit each region.
"For most travelers, the decision of where to cruise is made before they think about all the other pieces of the cruise planning process," explains Colleen McDaniel, Editor-in-Chief of Cruise Critic. "And for those looking for incredible cruise destinations, there's no better way to narrow your options than by seeing which destinations are rated most highly by cruisers who have already been there, done that.
"While the Caribbean continues to be the most visited cruise destination each year, there are a ton more off-the-beaten-path cruise destinations worthy of consideration -- everywhere from Avignon in France and Hobart in Australia, to Panama's Fuerte Amador and Huatulco in Mexico – all given top marks from cruisers themselves."
Highlighted Awards:
Avignon, located in France's Provence region, was named 2019's Most Popular Cruise Destination – receiving the highest ratings among cruise destinations across the globe. The city -- a port of call on river itineraries – was also named the Best European River Cruise Destination.
Glacier Bay in Alaska continues to be one of the world's most popular cruise destinations, named the top-rated destination in Alaska for the fourth year in a row. For those looking to sail the Inside Passage, it's considered one of the best locations for glacier and wildlife viewing, particularly with its famously photogenic Margerie Glacier.
