Viking Cruises dominated the 10th annual Cruise Critic Editors' Picks Awards with five wins.
Crystal
Cruises came in second place with four awards, while Disney and
Celebrity Cruises each picked up three awards, all of which were recently revealed on Tuesday.
"The
breadth of these awards -- from mainstream ocean lines, to river and
luxury -- exemplifies the wide range of cruise options available today
and the impressive quality of offerings," said Colleen McDaniel, Cruise
Critic's senior editor.
"Our
editors keep close tabs on the industry throughout the year, and this
list of winners is a compilation of our first-hand experience and
industry expertise, highlighting the lines that have truly stood out as
being exceptional throughout the year," McDaniel said.
The awards come in three categories: ocean cruises, luxury cruises (all on ocean ships) and river cruises.
