MSC toasts the trade at first awards

UK and Ireland trade toasted at ceremony

By Cruise Adviser On Nov 2, 2023

MSC Cruises launched its inaugural awards last night, recognising its top-performing agencies across the UK and Ireland.

The event was held at BT Tower and Tramp, the Mayfair nightclub.

Williams praised the trade’s performance over the past year, saying: “We love the trade, we are reliant on the trade and that will never change.

“We thought it was high time we did an official UK and Ireland awards ceremony to show how much we appreciate the trade, especially after our last 12 months which have been incredible,” he said.

“Everyone is a winner but a huge congratulations to those who got awards.”
