LONDON, Dec. 4, 2019
Saga Cruises' Spirit of Discovery Named Best New Ocean Ship; AmaMagna Secures Best New River Ship; and Scenic Eclipse Scoops Best New Ship Award in Luxury Category
LONDON, Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cruise Critic, the world's largest cruise reviews site and online cruise community, has announced the winners of its 11th annual UK Editors' Picks Awards. The awards are selected by a global panel of impartial cruise experts from Cruise Critic, to highlight the best ocean, river and luxury cruise lines for UK travellers, across dozens of categories.
Adam Coulter, UK Managing Editor, 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 really 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."
The Ocean's Best
The award for 'Best New Ship' on the ocean went to stunning new-build, Spirit of Discovery, which Saga Cruises debuted in July of this year. Cruise Critic editors agreed that the ship has set a new quality standard in British cruising with its luxurious thermal spa, inclusive speciality restaurants, beautiful, boutique hotel-inspired design and generous 2:1 passenger-to-crew ratio. Saga Cruises also secured the 'Best for Solo Travellers' award for its high number of no-supplement single cabins, and daily events such as meet and greets, group dinners and special shore excursions.
Marella Cruises additionally secured two awards this year, including the coveted 'Best Refurbishment' award for Marella Explorer 2, following its bow-to-stern makeover which saw the addition of four new-to-the-line venues. For the third consecutive year, the line was also awarded 'Best Value for Money' for its inclusive tips and service charges, as well as alcoholic drinks on some of its ships.
Celebrity Cruises bagged the award for 'Best Cabins' for its practical and impressively stylish cabins, as well as new innovative features on its newest ship, Celebrity Edge, such as built-in USB ports in the bedside lamps and glass-fronted cabinetry. The line also won the 'Best Dining' accolade for its consistently high standard across all of its restaurants.
For the eighth year in a row, Hurtigruten won the 'Best for Adventure' award. With its new hybrid vessel, Roald Amundsen, the line can take intrepid travellers almost silently to the most remote and challenging areas, without upsetting the natural wildlife. Hurtigruten also secured the 'Best Shore Excursions' award for its wide and varied tour offerings.

The line also scooped the 'Best Refurbishment' accolade for its outstanding overhaul of its ship S.S. Bon Voyage, as well gongs for 'Best Cabins', and 'Best for Luxury'.
AmaWaterways grabbed the coveted 'Best New River Ship' for AmaMagna. Double the size of most river cruise ships, this modern ship offers large cabins, a full-sized pool, large gym, dedicated spa space and an array of restaurants – making it a real game changer on the river scene. The line also won the 'Best for Active Cruisers' award.
For the fourth year in a row, Viking River Cruises held on to the 'Best Itineraries' award; and also grabbed the 'Best for First Timers'.

Crystal River Cruises secured this year's gongs for 'Best Dining', for its sophisticated dishes, made-to-order meals and excellent wine list; as well as 'Best Service' for its 24-hour butler service in every cabin and low crew-to-passenger ratios.
Luxury's Finest
In the luxury awards, Silversea won the accolade for 'Best Luxury Cruise Line', for its fleet of stunning ships and constant innovation and investment in updating ships with modern touches, as well as its consistently superlative cuisine. The line also nabbed the 'Best for Adventure' award for its commitment to seeking out the most exciting, undiscovered and exotic destinations across the globe; as well as the 'Best Service' gong for its intuitive service where crew anticipate your every need.
With its super-chic modern design, generously-sized suites, two state-of-the-art helicopters and a six-person submarine, Scenic Eclipse stole the 'Best New Luxury Ship' award – a great win for Scenic's first ocean ship.
Viking Ocean Cruises secured awards for 'Best Spa' and 'Best Value for Money', each for the fourth year running; and also bagged this year's 'Best Enrichment' gong for the knowledgeable onboard historians and experts across its fleet, and its stunning planetarium shows on Viking Jupiter and Viking Orion.
