What It Means to Us
Participating alongside some of the cruise industry’s biggest names feels like a huge achievement for our small UK-based cruise company, with a fleet of just 17 luxury hotel barges accommodating an average of eight passengers per barge. And, being based in the UK meant that this particular award was solely thanks to our friends and fans in North America!
