Celebrity Cruises also became the first ocean cruise line to ever earn the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide (“FTG”) Star Awards. Five of Celebrity’s ships now join an elite and exclusive group of fewer than 20 land-based properties to ever receive the rating, with Celebrity Millennium and Celebrity Edge amongst the five ships in the Celebrity family to receive the highly-coveted award.
According to a press release by Celebrity Cruises, the FTG is the global authority on luxury hospitality and the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and now, the new ocean cruise category. Properties, and now cruise ships, are anonymously evaluated based on hundreds of exacting standards that determine their annual Star Ratings. The remainder of the ships in the fleet will be evaluated in the coming year.
