Three winners go back-to-back in largest cruise awards in history.
The brightest stars of the cruise community have been named at a record-breaking 23rd Cruise Industry Awards in Sydney, with three back-to-back winners named on the night.
Held by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) at ICC Sydney on Saturday, the gala dinner and presentation night was the largest event of its kind ever mounted.
A total of 15 awards were presented to travel agencies and individuals, chosen from 83 finalists, with Ignite Travel Group named the Cruise Agency of the Year – the night’s highest honour – for the second time in a row.
MTA’s Lauren Jenkins was also named Home-Based Cruise Consultant of the Year for a second year running.
Meanwhile, Travel Associates was again recognised for its promotional prowess, winning Network Promotion of the Year for its TA film festival.
The night also saw CLIA induct Royal Caribbean head Gavin Smith into its Hall of Fame.
