Getting there isn't half the fun, but getting there in comfort and style can be the difference between a good trip and a sorry one. No one understands that better than Singapore Airlines, which once again earns the top score among international carriers. Emerging on the domestic scene, Virgin America (pictured) overtakes the competition with ease. Two cruise lines each earn ratings above 90: perennial favorites Crystal Cruises and Regent Seven Seas.
