Prestigious World Travel Awards™ Honors Quark
[Seattle, WA] – December 17, 2014 – Quark Expeditions® is thrilled to be granted the 2014 World’s Leading Specialist Cruise Line Award at the World Travel Awards™ Grand Final Gala Ceremony on December 7 in Anguilla, the Lesser Antilles. The award ceremony is widely regarded as the “Oscars of the Travel Industry.”
The esteemed World Travel Awards™ recognises and rewards excellence in the global hospitality, travel and tourism sectors, and are considered a benchmark of tourism excellence.
The awards are presented across three tiers; Country, Regional and World, with the latter category considered the top tier. They are particularly rewarding to travel industry organizations, as they represent endorsements from consumer passengers as well as travel agents.
Quark Expeditions® President Andrew White remarked, “We are delighted to be acknowledged by our travel partners and loyal passengers. As a company that is continuously striving for the highest standards of safety, innovation and guest experience, we couldn’t be happier to be recognized for excellence in the Specialist Cruise Line category.”
