Real Response Media has appointed Rooster to drive media coverage for the fifth edition of the Wave Awards – the UK cruise industry’s premier awards – ahead of the eagerly anticipated ceremony in April 2020.
The Wave Awards, which are firmly established as the ‘Oscars of Cruising’, recognise and reward excellence in the cruise holiday sector with categories including Best New Ship Launch, Best for Solo Travel and Best Value-for-Money cruise line.
As the owner and organiser of the awards, Real Response Media has brought Rooster on board to drive coverage and boost awareness for the 2020 Wave Awards on a national and regional level.
Colette Doyle, Group Editor at Real Response Media and co-chair of the Wave Awards alongside World of Cruising editor Vicky Mayer, said “As we approach the awards’ fifth birthday, we’re looking more than ever before to acknowledge and commend all those shaping the future of the industry right across the board, from exciting innovations on board to fascinating on-shore excursions. Rooster’s proven passion for cruising, coupled with some brand-new award categories and a new venue for 2020, are set to make next year’s celebrations even bigger than ever.”
James Brooke, Managing Director of Rooster, said “The Wave Awards champion the very best of the UK cruise sector, whether that be celebrating exceptional on-board experiences or rewarding innovation in this ever-growing, adaptable industry. We’re very much looking forward to working with Real Response Media on honouring all those involved in the industry, as well as ensuring that this prestigious event is marked in a memorable way.”
The awards offer cruise lines, travel agents, tourist boards, ports and anyone else involved in the UK cruise industry the chance to showcase their brand, expertise and contribution to the cruising holiday sector.
The 2020 shortlist will be announced early in the new year, with the awards ceremony taking place on 2 April at the prestigious 8 Northumberland Avenue in central London.
