Costa Cruises Named “Asia Best Cruise Line” at Asia Cruise Awards in Jeju
Hong Kong, August 31,
2015 – Costa Cruises, the
first international cruise line to enter Asia Pacific and China in 2006,
announced it has been recognized as “Asia Best Cruise Line” for its industry
leadership in the inaugural Asia Cruise Awards organized by Asia Cruise Forum
Jeju Organising Committee & the Asia Cruise Leaders Network (ACLN). Ms.
Helen Huang, General Manager China, Costa Cruises Asia Pacific & China,
attended the ceremony at 2015 Asia Cruise Forum in Jeju, Korea and received the
award from Ki-June Yoo, Minister of Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Korea, on
behalf of the cruise line.
This is the third
year that the Asia Cruise Forum, a renowned cruising trade event, has been held
in Jeju. The event offers a platform for stakeholders in the cruising industry
to collectively seek ways to create common prosperity in the Asian cruise
industry. This year, Asia Cruise Forum Jeju Organising Committee & ACLN are
organising the Asia Cruise Awards for its first time, acknowledging and
celebrating excellence across various sectors of the cruising industry with
awardees selected by its members.
“As one of the
cruising pioneers in Asia Pacific & China, Costa Asia strives to provide
the best world-class cruise holidays with a unique ‘Italy at Sea’ experience
for passengers across the region. It is our honor to be named as the first-ever
Asia Best Cruise Line in the Asia Cruise Awards, which affirms our continuous
effort in refining and customizing our products and services for our Guests in
Asia Pacific & China. In the past nine years, Costa Asia has created a
multitude of industry firsts and has been widely recognized as the industry
leader in the region. We will continue joining hands with our industry partners
to provide the most seamless, fun and exceptionally comfortable cruising
experience with our distinct Italian cruises, fulfilling Asia Pacific &
Chinese travellers’ great love for the joie de vivre of travelling,” said Ms.
Huang.
To allow more
passengers to enjoy the rich and immersive experience in Italian culture – from
hospitality, to cuisine and to art, Costa Asia will be bringing its fourth
cruise ship, Costa Fortuna, to China in April next year, further increasing the
company’s capacity in China by 49%. This strengthens Costa Asia’s leadership
and position in the region, as well as its commitment and confidence to
continuously develop Asia Pacific & China to be one of the leading cruise
markets in the world.
