Brittany Ferries named world's best ferry operator

Brittany Ferries was named the best ferry operator in the world at a major travel industry awards ceremony this month.

Held in the Turks and Caicos Islands on December 2nd, the final World Travel Awards event of the year represented the culmination of a survey that gathered votes from some 167,000 industry professionals.

Graham Cooke, president and founder of the World Travel Awards, said that "nothing can compare" to winning one of the honours.

He added: "It's quite simply the highest accolade any location or travel company can ever hope to achieve and says more about them than any brochure can communicate, any picture can mirror, any personal testimonial can express."

Brittany Ferries was not the only ferry company recognised at the event, as DFDS Seaways picked up the accolade for Europe's leading long-sea ferry operator.

P&O Ferries was voted the continent's top short-sea ferry company, while the Danish capital of Copenhagen received the award for the leading cruise port and Eurostar was named the world's best rail service.
