On Wednesday, cruise review website Cruise Critic announced the winners of the 2017 Cruisers' Choice Awards.

The 2017 Cruisers' Choice Awards were determined based on ratings and reviews collected during a 12-month period. The seventh annual awards handed out prizes for four ship size classes based on passenger capacity, including Large: 2,000 or more passengers; Mid-Size: 1,200 to 1,999 passengers; Small-Mid Size: 400 to 1,199 passengers; and Small: fewer than 400 passengers.

One of the biggest winners was Viking Ocean Cruises, which finished first in 10 categories, including the Viking Sea ship winning Best Overall Small-Mid Size ship, Best Service, Best Entertainment, Best for Fitness, Best Public Rooms and Best Shore Excursion. The Viking Sea’s sister ship won Best Value, Best Dining, Best Cabins and Best for First-Timers.

Disney Cruise Line was also a major winner in the 2017 Cruisers' Choice Awards, including taking home the top prize for Best Overall Large Ship for Disney Dream for the third consecutive year. Disney Dream also won Best Cabins, Best Service, Best Public Rooms and Best Shore Excursions. The Disney Magic cruise ship won two top honors.
