For the fourth time in a row, consumers in Germany have named AIDA Cruises as the “Most Trusted Brand” in the “Cruise” category, in one of Europe’s biggest consumer studies.
The study, conducted by the international media company, Reader’s Digest, identifies the most trusted brands in over 30 different product categories. Since no individual brands are listed, interviewees are free to nominate brands themselves. Around 18,000 consumers in ten countries – some 5,000 of them in Germany – participated in the survey. Representatives of the “Most Trusted Brands” were presented with their “Pegasus Award 2014” at an awards ceremony in Düsseldorf on Friday, September 12, 2014.
“Trust is and remains the most important basis for a successful and, above all, lasting customer relationship,” says Michael Ungerer, President AIDA Cruises. “I would like to thank all of our guests and sales partners for their loyalty and, of course, our outstanding employees. For us, the Pegasus Award is both an incentive and an obligation to continue delighting our guests with high quality, impeccable service, the highest environmental and safety standards, and an unforgettable vacation experience.”
AIDA combines multi-generation cruise vacations with a great variety of experiences, recreation and enjoyment.
