Smaller ships
More space, fewer guests.
Smaller passenger numbers can mean a quieter atmosphere, easier days onboard and access to ports that the largest ships simply cannot visit.
Luxury Cruises
Luxury that feels effortless.
Smaller ships, thoughtful service, beautiful spaces and extraordinary destinations - luxury cruising is less about extravagance for its own sake and more about making every part of the journey feel considered.
Start Planning a Luxury CruiseA different kind of cruise experience
More space. More included. More personal.
Luxury cruise lines tend to carry fewer guests and place greater emphasis on service, dining, spacious accommodations and destination access. The result is an experience that can feel wonderfully relaxed from the moment you step onboard.
Exceptional service
The details are noticed.
Higher crew-to-guest ratios allow service to feel more attentive and personal, often without ever feeling intrusive.
Elevated dining
Dining becomes part of the journey.
From beautifully prepared menus to intimate specialty restaurants, food and wine are often a significant part of the luxury cruise experience.
More included
Less time thinking about extras.
Depending on the line, fares may include drinks, gratuities, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, excursions and even transfers or airfare.
Distinctive destinations
Go beyond the obvious ports.
Smaller ships can reach fascinating harbors and destinations while longer stays and overnights can give you more time ashore.
Space and suites
Your room should feel like a retreat.
Generous accommodations, thoughtful design and private outdoor space can make returning to your suite one of the pleasures of the day.
What luxury really means
It isn't simply about spending more.
The best luxury experiences remove friction. There are fewer lines, fewer decisions about what costs extra and more moments when things simply happen as you hoped they would.
For some travelers that means exceptional food and wine. For others it is a smaller ship, a beautiful suite, thoughtful service or an itinerary that reaches places larger ships cannot.
Look beyond the headline fare
The difference in price may be smaller than it first appears.
A luxury cruise can carry a higher initial fare, but the comparison changes when you consider everything you might otherwise pay for separately. We look at the complete trip rather than comparing two headline prices.

Finding your fit
Luxury cruise lines are not all the same.
Some feel elegant and traditional. Others are contemporary and relaxed. Some place the emphasis on destinations, while others make the onboard experience the star. Matching that personality to yours matters just as much as choosing the itinerary.

“Luxury is not about having the most. It is about having the experience feel exactly right for you.”
That is why we start with the traveler, not the cruise line.
