2021: Three time winner at the Travolution Awards
We were incredibly proud to win three awards at the prestigous Travolution Awards on 25th November 2021.

The awards are recognition for all the hard work and dedication of our staff over the last year in highly challenging conditions and reflect the success of our strategy for putting our customers and smart use of data and technology at the heart of everything we do.
2020: Winners at The British Travel Awards for the third year in a row
We’re extremely proud to have been named the Best Holiday Company to the USA for the third year in a row at the British Travel Awards. This accolade means so much to us as it’s voted for by our customers and the public. Our entire team is dedicated to helping thousands of families make magical memories on holiday each year, so to be voted as the best time and time again is extremely heart-warming.
2020: Best Companies One To Watch
We’re committed to ensuring Ocean Holidays is an incredible place to work for all employees. As part of this mission, we took part in the B Companies survey for the first time in 2020. We were delighted to be named as One To Watch in our very first year with a score of 659.3 out of 1000. A score of 659.5 would have granted us a 1-star accreditation, so we’re excited to see how we rank next year.
2019: LDC Top 50 Most ambitious business leaders
In 2019, the four founders of Ocean Holidays were selected as one of the top 50 most ambitious leaders in the UK. This award is set out to recognise the most ambitious leaders in business and shine a light on some of the unsung heroes of the British Economy.
