Forbes Travel Guide, a global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruises is expanding its ratings to cruise restaurants.

Considered a cruise industry first, the 2025 ship ratings and restaurant accolades will be released on Feb. 12 as part of its annual Star Ratings, which include hotels, restaurants, and spas in more than 85 countries.

“The evolution of dining on cruise ships reflects the changing expectations of discerning travelers,” 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 including Celebrity Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, Seabourn Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea Cruises, and Viking Cruises will be eligible for ratings.

The Forbes Travel Guide’s Star Ratings will recognize 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 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. 2025 Star Ratings will be announced on forbestravelguide.com on February 12.
