The Expedition Cruise Network (ECN) Expedition Cruise Awards are back for a spectacular second year, bigger and more prestigious than ever before.

 

Following the success of our inaugural event, we are once again bringing the expedition cruise industry together to celebrate excellence, innovation, and outstanding achievements. This year, the awards have been enhanced with an exciting new format and brand-new categories, ensuring we recognise the very best across this dynamic and ever-growing sector. From pioneering itineraries and sustainability initiatives to exceptional onboard experiences, the ECN Expedition Cruise Awards 2025 will shine a spotlight on the people and companies that set the standard for adventure at sea.

​

In keeping with the spirit of expedition cruising, we’re taking the awards to the water for an unforgettable evening aboard the magnificent Dixie Queen on the River Thames. As the city lights shimmer around us, guests will be treated to a drinks reception, a delicious three-course dinner, and an inspiring awards ceremony, all in the company of the industry’s most influential figures. The night’s highlight will be a breath-taking moment as the Dixie Queen cruises under a fully raised Tower Bridge - a fitting tribute to the bold, boundary-pushing nature of expedition cruising itself.
