This country has been named the best global cruise holiday destination – can you guess?

The public also voted Cunard as their favourite luxury cruise line, Viking River Cruises as their favourite river cruise line and Royal Caribbean as their favourite ocean cruise line.

Judges also named Royal Caribbean as the best ocean cruise line, followed by MSC Cruises.

Avalon waterways took best river cruise line and Seabourn won best luxury ocean cruise line.

G Adventures came first for best expedition cruise line and Saga Cruises was named the number one in the best for solo travellers (oceans or river) category.

In recent cruise news, weight loss brand WW, formerly known as Weight Watchers, has teamed up with MSC Cruises to launch a brand new route for healthy holidays. 

Instead of indulging in high-calorie, potentially unhealthy holiday treats, passengers will tuck into healthy freshly prepared meals and snacks to aid weight loss.

They will adhere to WW’s SmartPoints friendly regulations, and cooked by expert chefs.

On board cooking classes and demonstrations will help travellers recreate the meals at home.
