Agents are invited to cast their votes in Travel Weekly’s annual Hotlist survey of the trade’s top cruise, touring and adventure brands – with five vouchers worth £100 each up for grabs.
The Hotlist attracts thousands of votes from frontline travel sellers, recognising their favourite cruise lines and touring and adventure operators across 25 categories. These are split by region and customer demographic, from the best Alaska cruises to the best touring brands for solo travellers.
The Hotlist returns for 2026 in partnership with headline sponsors Travelzoo, Cruise Plus and Incredible Journeys, along with trade partners Clia and Atas (the Association of Touring & Adventure Suppliers).

“As the club for travel enthusiasts, these experiences are firmly on our own ‘hotlist’, with very strong member demand. Championing this sector helps us inspire more of our members to explore the world, whether by land or sea.”
Travelzoo will also invite its members to participate in 10 consumer-voted categories, reflecting customer demand as well as trade feedback.
Sarah Lancashire, marketing director and interim product director for sister brands Cruise Plus and Incredible Journeys, said: “We’re delighted to be sponsoring Travel Weekly’s Hotlist. It’s a trusted barometer of what’s resonating in cruise and touring right now – two of the fastest-growing sectors in the market.
“At Cruise Plus and Incredible Journeys, our knowledgeable and passionate teams work alongside our trusted supplier partners to create bespoke itineraries that inspire customers.
