What's it all about?

msc-euribia-waterpark

The Sailawaze Excellence Awards are your opportunity to tell the world about what your brand has achieved in the past 18 months, whether that’s in sustainability, wellness, entertainment or beyond.

We’re ditching traditional awards such as ‘Best Large Ship’ or ‘Best Luxury Cruise Line’ and instead want to recognise those initiatives that have done something truly awesome or innovative to advance the cruise experience for our readers.

We’re well aware of how much the cruise industry has done to make cruising the ultimate holiday experience – so let’s make sure the next generation of cruise customers know what they are missing!

Have you created a novel dining concept, an incredible new shore excursion, something cool for kids or improved accessibility? We want to know about it!

Get involved. Get shouting about it. Get nominating today – and see if you might pick up an Excellence Award at our Gala Ceremony…

Key Dates

Nominations Open: February 26th
Shortlist Announced and Public Voting Commences: April 11th
Editorial coverage in Metro (print and online): April & May
Public Voting Closes: May 10th
Gala Evening and Winners Announced: May 16th

No cost.
It’s on us.

Don’t miss out on attending the inaugural Sailawaze Excellence Awards Gala Dinner. Get 2 free tickets with the option to secure another 8 to make your very own table for a team night out!
