In other news, it has been a similarly successful few weeks for Milestones sister company, Uniworld River Cruises...
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection has triumphed as "Best Cruise Line" at the Guardian and Observer Reader Travel Awards 2011, in a category that included the best of both the ocean and river cruise industry.
Uniworld was credited for making waves in a category in which it is a relative newcomer. Having launched in the UK just over a year ago, the brand fought off competition from long established and recognised cruise lines.
Uniworld has also won Best for Dining category at the Cruise International Awards. The awards ceremony, which took place in London, was the first ever held by Cruise International Magazine to celebrate the best of the best in the cruise industry. Importantly, the fact that winners were voted for by the cruise-going consumer is a tribute to the exceptional quality and service Uniworld offer its guests.
Uniworld began the ceremony by picking up the first award of the evening in the Best for Dining Category. Uniworld was recognized for its Zagat-rated restaurants and dining, for not just one specific restaurant, but for the impeccably high standards it has achieved in dining across its 14-strong fleet, beating some of the cruise world's most well known companies across ocean and river cruises.
