Crystal River Cruises has once again won top honours in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards.
Its score of 97.14 includes top scores for guest suites, food, service, itineraries/destinations and value.
“We are thrilled that the Crystal River Cruises Experience has delighted travellers to the extent that they have taken the time to vote and call it the best in the world, and we thank them for their incredible support,” said Walter Littlejohn, senior vice president and managing director of Crystal River Cruises.
“Since day one, we have strived to create an unmatched standard of luxury on Europe’s rivers with beautifully spacious ships; attentive personalised service; and culinary and cultural experiences that highlight the elegance of the destinations. It is wonderful to see how closely travellers are connecting with the Crystal River Experience.”
Crystal River Cruises first embarked on the rivers of Europe in 2016, winning top industry awards within its first year.
Crystal’s new-build river vessels are Europe’s most spacious river ships, accommodating just 106 guests with an intentional focus on maximising personal and public spaces.
Its five vessels comprise Europe’s youngest river cruise fleet and are the industry’s first and only all-suite, butler-serviced vessels in Europe, with every category of accommodation positioned above the water line.
