The votes have been cast in the highly anticipated Signature Luxury Travel & Style’s 2025 Luxury Cruise Awards. Our seventh annual awards celebrate the world’s finest cruise lines, ships and operators in the industry. Luxury cruising is thriving, according to Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), with the number of travellers choosing luxury cruise lines forecast to grow more than 20 per cent over the next three years.

The standard of vessels and service is exemplary – there is truly so much choice in the luxury market. Some hard decisions have been made by our panel of 19 leading luxury cruise experts and travel advisors, who rate major cruise lines across 14 key categories, including best-in-class on rivers and oceans at all sizes, family-friendly favourites, and the most-anticipated new ships. Each cruise line has been awarded points to determine the overall winners.

From onboard facilities to experiences ashore, our winners and finalists set the standard for the future of cruising.
