Major brands scoop multiple wins at The Hotlist 2026

AmaWaterways, Intrepid Travel, Riviera Travel and Royal Caribbean each scooped a trio of awards across the trade and consumer-voted categories in Travel Weekly’s third annual edition of The Hotlist.

G Adventures and Celebrity Cruises also enjoyed double wins in the trade categories, while Silversea, P&O Cruises, HX Expeditions and Titan Travel each received one trade and one consumer win.

The Hotlist recognises the best suppliers in the ocean cruise, river cruise and touring and adventure sectors, based on a survey of UK travel agents and consumers.

The results were announced at an event in central London on Tuesday and are published in a supplement with this week’s Travel Weekly magazine.

"The Hotlist shines a light on some of the best and most innovative brands in travel."

Seventeen different winners featured across the 25 trade categories, which highlighted brands by region, customer demographic or product type.

The Hotlist 2026 was supported by joint headline sponsors Cruise Plus and Incredible Journeys, and Travelzoo, whose club members were invited to vote in 10 consumer categories.

Lucy Huxley, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, said: “The Hotlist shines a light on some of the best and most innovative brands in travel, so it’s brilliant to be able to bring them together, both at our Hotlist event and in the supplement.
