Alex Busquets, Norwegian Cruise Line’s senior sales manager, accepts the award

Norwegian Cruise Line has won the title of Europe’s Leading Cruise Line for the fifth consecutive year at the World Travel Awards.

The annual awards ceremony, which was this year hosted by the Conrad Algarve, recognise travel companies for delivering an outstanding customer experience and are voted by travel agents and consumers worldwide.

Norwegian, which has been honoured with the accolade in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, has four Freestyle Cruising vessels in Europe in 2012 which offer an array of sailings ranging from seven to twelve nights and this will remain the case throughout 2013.

Alex Busquets, Norwegian Cruise Line’s senior sales manager Spain and Portugal, accepted the award during the gala ceremony held in Portugal, on October 6th, 2012.

“We are delighted that travel partners and consumers from around the world have chosen us for this award for the fifth year in a row,” said Francis Riley, vice president, Norwegian Cruise Line.

“This underlines that our wide array of cruises in Europe and our innovative Freestyle Cruising product are very well perceived by both guests and the industry professionals.”

Norwegian’s European sailings provide guests with the opportunity to see more of Europe in less time while visiting a new and exciting port of call each day.

Norwegian’s newest and most innovative ship, Norwegian Epic, sails the Western Mediterranean during the summer seasons, allowing guests to explore historic destinations such as Rome, Pompeii and Pisa in a seven-night round trip from Barcelona.

In 2013, Epic will sail this itinerary on various dates between May 5th and October 13th.
