Forbes Travel Guide is expanding its acclaimed global rating system to include rating restaurants on cruise ships – a cruise industry first. The Forbes Travel Guide experts have already been conducting their in-depth research and reviews and will reveal the 2025 cruise ship ratings and restaurant accolades next month when the highly anticipated annual Star Ratings are released, which include hotels, restaurants, and spas in more than 85 countries. “The evolution of dining on cruise ships reflects the changing expectations of discerning travellers,” said Amanda Frasier, President of Ratings for Forbes Travel Guide.

“Restaurants aboard the world’s finest cruise ships today feature innovative menus designed by world-renowned chefs, exceptional ingredients, diverse global cuisines, and thoughtful, attentive service. We are delighted to be the first rating guide to celebrate restaurants aboard Star-Rated cruise ships that meet our exacting criteria for service excellence and culinary distinction.” Restaurants aboard ships such as Celebrity Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea Cruises and Viking will be eligible for ratings. FTG’s 2025 Star Ratings will recognise more than 2,000 hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruises globally with Five-Star, Four-Star and Recommended awards. Every Star Rating is earned through FTG’s in-person, incognito inspections based on hundreds of objective standards. No one can buy a rating, and no fees, commissions, or business relationships are required.
