Viking River Cruises Wins 2008 Wave Award Recognition
Named Best Overall River Cruise Line by Agents and Editors – Third Year Running
LOS ANGELES, (June 6, 2008) — Viking River Cruises was again honored this month with the 2008 WAVE Award and “Editor’s Choice” Award for Best Overall Cruise Line for River Cruising at the third annual TravelAge West Western Agents’ Votes of Excellence (WAVE) Awards.
WAVE Awards are awarded on the basis of votes by the trade. Travel agent professionals throughout the 14 Western states and readers of TravelAge West were invited to vote on the “best of the best” from a list of Editor’s Pick award recipients chosen by Editor-in-Chief Ken Shapiro and the editorial team of TravelAge West. Review methods included product analysis, site visits, a survey of a select group of travel agents and online research.
“The WAVE Awards are a celebration of excellence in travel products, services and destinations,” said Michelle Rosenberg, publisher of TravelAge West. “This year’s WAVE winners have consistently demonstrated excellence within the travel marketplace.” TravelAge West will also feature Viking River Cruises in a special WAVE Awards Spotlight Issue due out in August 2008.
“We’re very proud to be named Best Overall River Cruise Line for the third year in a row,” enthused Mike Wiersema, Vice President, Sales, Viking River Cruises. “We value our travel agent partners so highly, and it is gratifying to realize that this dedication has helped us serve travel professionals and their clients effectively. Given today’s exchange rates and fuel costs, there has never been a better time to sell all-inclusive, dollar-priced vacation packages, and we look forward to continuing to provide high-quality, affordable and memorable travel experiences to our clientele.”
More than 136 companies, individuals and destinations were celebrated by the readers of TravelAge West at the WAVE Awards ceremony. Honorees were recognized in 48 categories spanning the cruise, tour operator, airline, hotel and resort, and destination travel fields. The awards gave travel agents in the Western United States the opportunity to recognize outstanding travel supplier partners.
