DFDS scoops top travel award
Date: 15 Oct 2007 00:00 Source: easier.comCruise ferry operator DFDS Seaways has sailed away with a prestigious award from the travel industry’s annual ‘Oscars.’ The Copenhagen-based firm was named Europe’s Leading North Sea Ferry Operator 2007 in the European Section of the prestigious annual World Travel Awards.
Now in their fourteenth year, the World Travel Awards were conceived to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence in the world's travel and tourism industry.
The award winners are voted for by travel industry professionals from 167,000 travel agencies, tour & transport companies and tourism organisations in over 160 countries across the globe.
The presentation event, which was held this year at the Marriott Hotel Gosforth Park and hosted by top impressionist Jon Culshaw, attracted more than 300 travel industry leaders from 19 countries, with other well-known award winners included Lufthansa, Europcar and Swiss International Airlines.
DFDS Seaways runs several routes across the North Sea – Newcastle to Amsterdam in Holland, Newcastle to Stavanger and Bergen in Norway and Harwich to Esbjerg in Denmark.
John Crummie, UK Managing Director for DFDS Seaways, says: “This is a fantastic achievement for us, and is a real endorsement of the high quality of service and experience that we provide for our guests across all our North Sea routes.
“To be judged by our industry peers as being ‘best in class’ is a tremendous honour, and recognition must go to our employees, both ashore and onboard, who have made the award possible with their service ethic
“The challenge for DFDS Seaways is now to keep improving and to raise the bar even higher, so that we set new standards and give our customers an even better onboard experience.”
