Luxury Cruise Lines
If you love ocean travel, but you'd like to try something a little more exclusive, a 5-star luxury cruise may well be the perfect vacation for you. When it comes to luxury cruise lines, you'll find that ships tend to be smaller, with a higher ratio of crew to guests meaning you'll be expertly looked after from the moment you step onboard. What's more, alongside delicious dining and glamorous evening entertainment, these famous luxury cruise companies often boasting smaller ship means you'll have the privilege of sailing to unique luxury destinations and experience shore excursions and tours that are just not possible with larger cruise liners.
Alternatively, some luxury cruise lines offer separate ‘ship inside a ship’ experiences on their larger vessels. In these exclusive areas you’ll find opulent suites, unrivalled service and even private dining, pool and social areas such as Cunard’s “Grills”, MSC Cruises’ “Yacht Club”, Norwegian Cruise Line’s “The Haven” and Celebrity Cruises’ “The Retreat”.
Ultra Luxury Cruise Lines
Ultra luxury cruises are the ultimate holidays at sea aboard only the most luxurious cruise ships. Onboard an ultra luxury cruise ship you’ll find an all-inclusive experience, meaning everything you could want is included in your booking -from shore excursions, drinks, gratuities and Wi-Fi all included to even flight upgrades, valet or door-to-door transfers, laundry, concierge and even dedicated butler services.
Meanwhile, smaller ships actually mean more space with accommodation comprising almost exclusively of suites with balconies or verandas. On these smaller, more intimate cruise ships, guests can expect exceptional service every step of the way.
For something even more exclusive, there's also the chance to embark on a luxury yacht cruise. With even smaller ships, even fewer guests and a higher crew to passenger ratio, you'll feel like an A-lister from the moment you step onboard.
