Carnival Cruise Lines, the world’s largest cruise operator, has earned a Crystal Award for the Most Outstanding Travel Reward Program from the Society of Incentive & Travel Executives (SITE), comprised of top professionals in incentive travel.
The award, which was presented last month at SITE’s annual conference in Monterey, Calif., recognized Carnival for providing a unique and memorable travel experience, superior product and services during a seven-day Alaska cruise incentive program created by Harith Wickrema of Harith Productions, a full-service meeting, incentive and production company in Philadelphia, and Char McClelland of Alaska Destination Specialists, an Anchorage-based destination management company for Bristol, Tenn.-based King Pharmaceuticals.
Partnering together, these companies created customized on-board experiences, including private dinning areas, custom menu items and special in-room amenities. In port, the companies joined forces once again to deliver a one-of-a-kind Alaska experience culminating in a lakeside event with visits from The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and native tribal leaders.
Carnival Cruise Lines, the world’s largest cruise operator, raked in a record number of awards during the past year, capping off the final weeks of 2007 with several additional accolades from a variety of esteemed organizations.
Readers of Ocean & Cruise News – the publication of the World Cruise & Ocean Liner Society, an organization comprised of highly experienced cruise enthusiasts — named Carnival “Best Cruise Value” in the superior four star category for the 14th consecutive year. The line also took home top honors in the “Short Cruise” category.
During the ninth annual Reader’s Choice Awards conducted by Travel Weekly magazine, Carnival was named “Best Domestic Cruise Line,” while the 88,500-ton Carnival Spirit was named “Best Overall Individual Ship.” Also, for the third consecutive year, Carnival’s business development managers were recognized for providing the cruise industry’s “Best Sales and Service.”
