Royal Caribbean International Voted Best Luxury Cruise Operator in
Travel Weekly's China Industry Awards 2008
SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Royal Caribbean
International has been named "Best Luxury Cruise Operator" in Travel
Weekly's China Industry Awards 2008, after just one year of operations
in Asia. The award was presented at a ceremony held in Shanghai last
evening.
Royal Caribbean was selected by almost 600,000 readers of Travel
Weekly and Travel Weekly China for its award. Initiated in 2002, the
awards recognize the best in the tourism industry and acknowledge
their contributions to China's tourism industry, both inbound and
outbound.
Since opening its office in Shanghai in July 2007, the cruise line has
been bringing its Chinese guests the Royal Caribbean vacation
experience closer to home. After its successful first season in Asia,
with sailings onboard Rhapsody of the Seas between December 2007 and
May 2008, Royal Caribbean is looking forward to the arrival of Legend
of the Seas, which will begin sailings out of Singapore in December
2008 and Shanghai in February 2009. Onboard Legend of the Seas, like
Rhapsody of the Seas, guests will be able to enjoy the most innovative
cruise experience with the brand's signature onboard amenities, such
as its rock-climbing walls, and its friendly, engaging and personal
Gold Anchor Service. Legend of the Seas will also be deployed year-
round in Asia starting in November 2009, with an extended season in
China, homeporting in Shanghai and Tianjin.
"This is a great achievement for us to receive this award, after our
first year of service in Asia," said Eve Lu, China Country Manager,
for Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Lu is based in Shanghai and received
the award on behalf of the company. "This is a testament to the high
service standards that Royal Caribbean is well-known for, onboard our
ships and in our operations throughout Asia, especially in China. We
thank our industry partners and customers for their strong support, as
we continue to provide them with our distinctive, memorable cruise
experience and high quality of service." |
