Hosted by six Carnival Corporation cruise brands, the stars were shining at the 5th UK Cruise Awards, held at the stunning Underglobe (under Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, on London’s South Bank) on Thursday 24 January 2019
More than 200 travel agents mingled with media and TV celebrities on an evening when the brand heads and sales teams from Carnival Cruise Lines, Cunard, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises and Seabourn were able to recognise and reward their top travel agency partners for their business and loyalty over the past year.
An energetic performance from BBC’s Greatest Dancer act Froback started the ceremony off with a bang. The awards were introduced by Josh Weinstein, and hosted for the fifth year by presenter Mark Durden-Smith. Each Carnival brand gave two awards, the first for “Partnership Development’ and the second ‘Outstanding Contribution’ (see list below). Other key agent partners were also highly commended in both categories.
The two final and very special award recipients were selected and presented on behalf of all the brands. The ‘Shining Star’ award – which recognises the outstanding contribution of an individual within the travel industry, was presented by ITV’s Richard Arnold and Seabourn Managing Director Lynn Narraway to Anna Perrott of Travel Bag. The final award of the evening, the Carnival UK “Trade Partner of the Year’ award was given by P&O Cruises President Paul Ludlow to the team at Iglu Cruise, and was collected by Simone Clarke.
