In a highly successful year for Viking Cruises, which included the launch of two new Ocean Ships, Wendy was praised for her role in raising the profile of the sector, redefined the perception of River Cruising and widening the possibilities for travellers.

‘I would like to say a huge thank you for this award – I truly never expected to win! I’d also like to say just how humbling it is to win an award for doing what I so dearly love’, says Wendy Atkin-Smith. ‘We are also delighted to collect another best-in-class award for our river cruises. In our 20th year, this is proof of our impeccable service, inspiring itineraries and excellent experiences’.

Viking Cruises’ success this year has been recognised at the Wave Awards with the Passenger Favourite River Cruise Line accolade following on from eight wins at the Cruise Critic Cruisers’ Choice Awards 2017, as chosen by past customers.
