Forbes Travel Guide is the global authority on luxury hospitality and the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruises. FTG’s professional inspectors travel the world to anonymously evaluate hospitality providers based on hundreds of standards that determine their annual Star Ratings.

“We strive to exceed all expectations for our guests seeking the best in premium vacations, from our level of elevated service, thoughtful amenities, and the highest quality of experiences both on and off our ships. We are honoured to be recognised again by the only global rating system for the ocean cruise category,” says Laura Hodges Bethge, Celebrity Cruises President. “We applaud our incredibly talented and dedicated Celebrity crew for another year of international recognition.”
