Luxury Cruise Questions

What makes a cruise line “luxury”?

Generally: small ships with few guests, all-suite or mostly-suite accommodation, high staff-to-guest ratios, and fares that include most drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi and often excursions or specialty dining. Service and food are the real test.

Is a luxury cruise worth the price?

Compare the total cost, not the fare. Once drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi, specialty dining and excursions are added to a mainstream cruise, the gap to an all-inclusive luxury fare can be smaller than it looks.

Which luxury line is best?

The one that fits you: some are formal, some relaxed; some focus on food, some on destinations or expedition. Start with the comparison table, then ask our cruise advisors.
