Posted by Elise Kirsten on 23 August 2019

The world’s best cruise destinations for 2019, according to the review ratings of cruise passengers for cruises in the last year, have been released in the fourth annual Cruisers’ Choice destination awards on Wednesday 21 August.

The most popular cruise destination of the year was Avignon, in Provence France, which was also named best European river cruise destination.

In second place was Bora Bora in French Polynesia, followed by Alaska’s Glacier Bay.

Vienna, Austria was voted fourth best and Singapore fifth.

Unfortunately, the continent of Africa (with its cruises between Durban and Mozambique, Madagascar or Mauritius, or Cape Town and Namibia) was not considered for these awards along with the rest of the world’s cruise destinations.

Highlighting the importance of the destinations that cruises head to, where passengers can disembark and explore, Colleen McDaniel, editor-in-chief of Cruise Critic, said in a statement, “for most travelers, the decision of where to cruise is made before they think about all the other pieces of the cruise planning process.”
