We are pleased to announce this year’s Onboard Hospitality Awards finalists.
Thanks to our readership votes, we have whittled down the entries to reveal this year’s finalists. These entries will now be judged in-person by our expert panel of judges later this month.
Winners will be announced at our free-to-attend Awards ceremony, taking place on Tuesday 6 June 2023 at 4.30pm in the Taste of Travel Theatre at the World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo (WTCE) in Hamburg, Germany.
