THE NEW 2014 BEST AT SEA AWARDS

 We take pleasure in presenting our 2014 ‘BEST AT SEA AWARDS’ in the “4-5-Star Inclusive Category”. These ratings are based on evaluations from the most respected industry and consumer media sources, our own personal Churchill & Turen Ltd. ship evaluations, and written evaluation reports from more than 1500 upscale cruise “evaluators” each of whom has sailed multiple lines. The opinions or comments of unknown or uncertified web site visitors are not used in any of our evaluations. Our ratings are not reader-generated opinion polls. We believe that they represent the best synthesis of professional industry evaluations and reports from a carefully selected roster of discerning worldwide travelers with five star cruise experience.
