Carnival brands celebrate agents at UK Cruise Awards

 

Carnival UK brands honoured the travel trade and industry figures last night during the annual UK Cruise Awards.

 

The event, now in its seventh year, recognises cruise specialist agents for their business and loyalty to six Carnival Corporation & PLC brands – Carnival Cruise Line, Cunard, Holland America Line, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, and Seabourn.

 

More than 200 travel partners attended the ceremony, which was held at Madame Tussauds in London. The awards were hosted by TV presenter Mark Durden-Smith.

 

Each brand gave two awards, the first for ‘Partnership Development’ and the second for ‘Outstanding Contribution’.

 

In addition, four multi-brand awards were given for ‘Innovative Marketing Campaign’, ‘Outstanding Customer Care’, ‘Rising Star’, and ‘Outstanding Contribution’.
