The Reasons You May Want a Luxury Cruise

Unpack once, and let your luxury hotel take you to one exciting destination after another.  Cruises offer an amazing travel value. Paying one price in dollars for lodging, transport, and meals can offer real value over other types of vacations. Over 94% of first-time cruisers are satisfied with their cruise experience. If you haven’t experienced luxury cruise lines, you might compare luxury cruise ships to staying at a Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons resort. The quality is quite different from a Sheraton, Hilton or Holiday Inn. Luxury all Inclusive” cruise lines pamper you beyond expectations! The beautiful ships on these lines offer opulent suites and staterooms, facilities and amenities on a par with five star hotels.  The included gourmet cuisine will satisfy the most discriminating diners. These exclusive cruise lines will treat you like a VIP with elite service and plush facilities. On many you never pay extra for premium beverages or wine, and tipping is not allowed.

Whether you are a first-time cruiser or a “veteran”, luxury cruise lines may be the right choice for discerning travelers who rely on excellent service, a more sophisticated ambience and enjoy traveling with fewer passengers. Each of the best luxury cruise lines is highly regarded, delivering the finest standards of service at sea, the most comfort and sophistication, spa services and more. They are not all the same: each has its own personality and style, and that’s where we can help you select luxury cruise ships you’ll most enjoy. 
For different regions of the world one luxury cruise line might be a better choice than another. Suites on luxury cruise lines often include butler service in select categories (also on some premium cruises). Luxury cruise dining often features menus developed by some of the world’s premier chefs.  

Luxury cruises are more inclusive therefore a stateroom on a luxury cruise line can be a better value than on a premium or mass market cruise. With some lines including alcoholic beverages, onboard gratuities and credits, and more, if you are considering a luxury cruise vacation, it warrants comparing by adding up all the additional expenses you’ll incur on a non-luxury cruise. The per-day cost, inclusive of accommodations, meals and onboard entertainment (and in some cases liquor) range from $400 – $2,000 per person or more, per day, depending on stateroom category.
