Norwegian Cruise Line today was honored to be named among the top cruise lines, in both the large and midsize categories in the 27th annual Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards.
In the Large Ship Line category, Norwegian ranked second, with reader’s favoring the line’s “relaxed, family-friendly cruises” and the “wealth of onboard entertainment, including Broadway musicals.” Readers also voted Norwegian high in the Midsize category, coming in at number three, particularly for the line’s cruise casual atmosphere and varied itineraries that span the globe.
The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and are commonly known as “the best of the best of travel.” More than 76,600 dedicated readers cast votes for a variety of travel categories, including 7,721 hotels, 642 cities, 453 cruise ships and 148 islands.
