There are countless cruises out there to choose from, so it can be tough to decide exactly which one is right for you. But the best in the business for UK holidaymakers have been crowned as part of the 2023 Cruise Critic Editor\u2019s Pick Awards.<\/p>\n

The awards aim to recognise the best cruise lines of the year for UK travellers, chosen by the site\u2019s intentional team of cruise experts, and among the winners are brands boasting luxury, some value-for-money cruise lines and holidays that don\u2019t scrimp on port time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

P&O, Marella, and Ambassador Cruise Line are among the big names who came out on top for Britons this year.<\/p>\n

The accolade for Best New Ship of the Year went to P&O’s Arvia, the line’s brand-new mega-ship which first took to the waters in December 2022.<\/p>\n

Editors applauded its seamless combination of the line\u2019s popular spaces with new and exciting attractions onboard, including the state-of-the-art SkyDome with its retractable glass roof. The ship also features The 710 Club, which was the brainchild of pop sensation Gary Barlow. The adults-only club serves up a vintage vibe with plenty of live music, stylish cocktails and a dose of escapism.<\/p>\n

For adventurers, Mission Control is an adventure room which transports guests to an underwater world where they need to solve puzzles and problems, in a realistic 3D environment.<\/p>\n

Plus, there is also a spa, swim-up pool bar, 54-metre high tight rope experience, splash zone and even a four-screen cinema. Cruise Critic’s Editors said: \u201cArvia has all the P&O Cruises\u2019 favourites like The Epicurean, Sindhu and Keel & Cow \u2013 plus new venues including Tidal Rum Bar (with distillery), the stunning Dome and a top deck high ropes course and swim-up bar \u2013 firsts for P&O Cruises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambassador Cruise Line was named the best value for money, and praised for its competitive fares\u00a0and special offers. According to\u00a0Cruise\u00a0Critic\u2019s Editors: \u201cThis UK-based, no-fly\u00a0cruise\u00a0line is a solid choice for cruisers seeking maximum value for money on one of its two ships.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuy-one-get-one-half-price savings, last-minute deals and reductions, combined with affordable lead-in fares, make Ambassador\u00a0Cruise\u00a0Line a clear winner in the Best Value category.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, guests can save up to 59 percent on 2024\/25 sailings with Ambassador Cruise lines.<\/p>\n
