Oceanwide Expeditions, a veteran of the expedition cruise industry and pioneer of polar tourism, has been recognized in three categories at the 2025 Expedition Cruise Network (ECN) Expedition Cruise Awards.
Vlissingen, 01.10.2025 - For the second year in a row, Oceanwide Expeditions has been honored with three awards at the Expedition Cruise Network (ECN) Awards, held aboard the Dixie Queen in London on 30 September.
Oceanwide Expeditions achieved wins in each category the company was nominated for, being named Favorite Expedition Cruise Operator for the Polar Regions, Favorite Expedition Cruise Operator for Sustainability, and Favorite Expedition Cruise Operator Overall. These wins follow on from 2024's ECN Awards, where the company was named Best Expedition Cruise Operator for Polar Destinations, Best Expedition Cruise Operator for Sustainability, and Best Medium-Sized Expedition Cruise Operator.
Rémi Bouysset, CEO, Oceanwide Expeditions - "This continued recognition is testament to the passion and dedication of the entire Oceanwide family, all of whom work extremely hard to create a truly remarkable guest experience. We pride ourselves on our unique, authentic approach, where guests feel part of an expedition team - a group of like-minded, engaged companions, rather than just a number on a cruise ship. At the same time, we are working hard to further our efforts regarding sustainability, and polar advocacy and education play an increasingly more significant role in the experience we provide our guests at the edges of the map."
