Celestyal Cruises, the number one choice for travelers to the Greek Islands and the Mediterranean, has been named Best for Service in Cruise Critic\u2019s 11th annual UK Editors\u2019 Picks Awards<\/a>. The awards are selected by a global panel of impartial cruise experts from Cruise Critic, to highlight the best ocean, river and luxury cruise lines for UK travelers, across dozens of categories.

The panel of experts chose Celestyal Cruises as the winner in the Best Service category for the following reasons: \u201cThis two-ship line retains a home-from-home feel onboard, where crew go out of their way to make you feel welcome, whether that\u2019s little touches like creating ever more elaborate towel animals in your room, making balloons for your kids at dinner time or, if you are a returning passenger, remembering your favourite cocktail. It\u2019s always a joy to board a Celestyal cruise ship — and always a wrench to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"CruiseCommenting on the award, Celestyal Cruises\u2019 CEO, Chris Theophilides<\/strong>, said: \u201cThis is undoubtedly a successful team effort from all our crew, officers and team ashore. The heart of our philosophy and approach is the legendary Greek hospitality that our guests enjoy onboard our two vessels, each of which is cosy enough to provide genuine and highly personalised service.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that such recognition accelerates our relatively new brand\u2019s awareness through credible third-party endorsements. Having won an Editor\u2019s Picks Award for the last 3 years amplifies the exemplar service we provide to our guests day in, day out and serves as a great springboard as we increase our efforts to grow our brand going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
