THERE’S NO DOUBT 2020 HAS BEEN AN UNPRECEDENTED year for the travel industry. As borders begin to reopen and destinations, hotels and airlines around the world prepare to welcome travelers once again, we’re celebrating travel and looking to the future as we congratulate the winners of our eighth annual Leisure Lifestyle Awards. This annual survey honors the best in the world of leisure and lifestyle travel, awarding goods, services, destinations, hotels, airlines and cruises.

Join us as we celebrate travel, the world’s greatest unifier, and consider the following winners as you prepare to come back to the world of leisure travel.

We begin our global celebration with our destination winners, some of the best cities, islands and towns around the world offering the ultimate in leisure travel. Kick back in any of these exceptional, award-winning spots, starting with Spain, Best Historical Attractions, International, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Best Historical Attractions, Domestic (and the hometown city of Global Traveler!).

If it’s more rest and relaxation you seek, Costa Rica takes the top spot for Best Beaches for the third year running. The U.S. Virgin Islands are Best Caribbean Island, while Santoríni retains its Best Island in Europe title for the seventh consecutive year. Cook Islands, another fan favorite, wins Best Island Pacific Rim for the fifth year in a row, also earning it Quint Status, a recognition won when a company receives the same award for five consecutive years.

Maybe you prefer powdery white snow to soft white sand? Telluride, Colorado, is Best North American Ski Destination for the second year in a row, while Lech, Austria, reigns as Best International Ski Destination.

Cruise Line of the Year

For the third year in a row, Global Traveler is pleased to name its Cruise Line of the Year. Congratulations to Cunard Line!

Nominees for this honor were compiled by Global Traveler, with the final winner selected by our Globility Board, a vetted group of well-traveled magazine subscribers.

Cunard is synonymous with history, incredible service, luxury and magnificence. Each of its three grand ships — Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 — delivers an exceptional, uniquely Cunard experience. From its iconic trans-Atlantic crossings to its white star service and signature experiences, Cunard Line was a perfect — and obvious — choice for the Cruise Line of the Year title. In a year of uncertainty, Cunard’s long, illustrious history reminds us of travel’s indelible, everlasting mark.

This year marks Cunard’s 180th anniversary. The luxury heritage brand inaugurated scheduled mail services from North America to Europe in 1840 and continues its leading position today. In October 2019 the cruise line took the next step in its story with a steel-cutting ceremony for its next ship. Still unnamed, the new ship will be the second largest to fly the Cunard flag.

We’re eager for the future of this year’s Cruise Line of the Year. Congratulations, Cunard!

Special Achievement Awards

Each year, in addition to our Leisure Lifestyle Awards, Global Traveler acknowledges those travel companies going above and beyond. Our Special Achievement Awards recognize leaders in innovation, customized services, environmental initiatives and community outreach. Congratulations to this year’s honorees!

The Ritz-Carlton’s Community Footprints program aligns the company with issues important to the communities it serves. Through resources and skill-based volunteer efforts, The Ritz-Carlton makes a difference in child well-being, hunger and poverty relief and environmental responsibility. Its dedication to these causes earned The Ritz-Carlton the Outstanding Social Responsibility title.

Tahiti Tourisme knows a trip to Tahiti is a true dream vacation. Its efforts to help ensure travelers can customize the experience of their lifetime to their unique tastes and interests won the tourism board the Outstanding Customized Services honor. Work with a Certified Tahiti Specialist to plan your vacation.

As part of its OceaniaNEXT program, the cruise line is introducing the next level of its cruising evolution, and part of that is focused on sustainability. Alongside introducing more plant-based gourmet cuisine, a partnership with Vero Water implemented onboard water service in suites, staterooms and dining outlets and provides a reusable water bottle to each guest, eliminating all plastic water bottles on board. Oceania Cruises is the 2020 winner of Outstanding Environmental Initiatives.

Qatar Airways redefined business class when it introduced its QSuite. The business-class suites feature doors for enhanced privacy and can be reconfigured into a quad formation perfect for business travelers or families, allowing for more space to work, dine and enjoy together time. Coupled with the finest linens and amenities, impeccable service and a heightened culinary and entertainment program, Qatar Airways’ QSuite makes it this year’s Outstanding Innovations honoree.

THE PROCESS

Global Traveler conducted a survey of its readers Oct. 1, 2019—Jan. 31, 2020, with open-ended questions for the best in many categories of leisure, luxury and lifestyle travel. This survey ran in the magazine, as an insert to subscriber copies, as a direct mail questionnaire, online at globaltravelerusa. com/leisureballot and emailed during the period in question. Only those questionnaires with more than 50 percent of the questions completed were counted. Those with fewer than 50 percent of the questions answered were discarded. Submissions from employees of the magazine or individuals associated with the travel industry were not accepted.
