The online public vote for the British Travel Awards (BTAs) – which have been running since 2008 and are regarded as the nation’s gold standard travel industry accolades – is open now and runs to September 29. That means you have just over a week to have your say.

It’s your chance to celebrate your favourite holiday companies through prestigious awards which recognise all that is great about the business and celebrate what customers love about them. For 2024 there will be 82 award categories, covering a comprehensive range of leisure travel experiences and services.

The best thing about voting is that you have the chance to win a whole range of amazing prizes if you do – including a seven night Scandinavia Explorer Cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line for two, worth £2,300.

The cruise sets sail from London Tilbury on 4 October, 2025. You will get to stay in a Superior Balcony cabin on board Ambassador Cruise Line’s ship ‘Ambience’. On the Scandinavian odyssey you will get to bask in the beauty of several of the Nordic’s most stunning settlements.

Roam the vibrant streets of Sweden’s Gothenburg before sailing to Denmark to marvel at the fairy-tale charm of Copenhagen and explore the artistic enclave of Skagen. Finally, embrace Esbjerg’s maritime heritage and breath-taking coastal landscapes to round out your North Sea journey.

While on board, you can enjoy the culinary delights on offer, with everything from full English breakfasts, casual style lunches and six course gala dinners. The three-deck Centre Court offers shopping, a casino and 11 bars and lounges to choose from, including the Observatory for cabarets and late night dancing, the Palladium for shows and entertainment and there is also the active studio, gym and wellness spa plus hot tubs and outdoor pool. Full T&Cs are available at the Ambassador Cruiseline website.

BTA director of events and partnerships, Lorraine Barnes Burton, said: “Three quarters of a million votes have been cast so far in the 2024 British Travel Awards but there is still time for there to be a dramatic change in the companies leading the field. Readers who haven’t got around to voting still have time and as a thank you from us for taking the time to vote they will be entered into a prize draw with some amazing travel prizes up for grabs!”
