We are pleased to announce this morning that your very own Cruising News has been awarded an Iglu Travel Award 2011 for Cruise News.

There’s a lot of information to process when you’re choosing a cruise. So many more factors than just booking a room in a hotel. Which deck do you want to stay on? What sort of cabins are available? What are the provisions for going ashore?So what do Iglu have to say:

“To say that the recipients of this Iglu Award really deserve it is an understatement – these blogs have won the award because they take complex, specialist information and make it easily accessible to the prospective cruiser.”

“There is no disputing that cruise news is worth taking note of especially if you have an impending cruise. You’re going to need to know the latest improvements to cruise ships which are taking place, which are undergoing maintenance, and which are suffering from outbreaks of the norovirus. You’ll want to know more about the countries that you might be visiting and also how comfortable your cruise is going to be. Will the on board entertainment will be worth writing home about? What are the restaurants like on board? The smart traveller knows that knowledge is freedom, and this is doubly relevant on a cruise holiday.”

“While some of the cruise news stories might not be of interest to everybody, it is the cruise traveller that sees the value in this information. Knowing what to look for is the most important part of our work here on the Iglu awards team, and we’ve spent hours making sure that these blogs will meet your expectations”.

Managing Director Tim Pryor says “We are truly honoured to receive this award from such Cruise Specialists as Iglu Cruise. The Cruising News team have been working hard for 12 months to bring you all the latest Cruise News, and this award makes it all worth while”.
