DISCOVER ULTIMATE JOURNEYS WITH LUXURY CRUISE LINES

Are you dreaming of an unforgettable getaway, a vacation experience that takes you beyond the norm? Perhaps you are celebrating a milestone birthday…. a notable anniversary… or even a long-awaited retirement.  For these special celebrations, luxury cruise lines can provide the ultimate vacation experience!

Explore the World in Style

Luxury cruise lines offer options for almost any travel style and preference.  Some travelers appreciate a traditional luxury immersion with a cruise experience that provides total indulgence, pampering in a world-class spa, richly appointed furnishings, and fine wines.

Some of today’s luxury travelers want their luxury experiences served up with a healthy dose of adventure. These guests are often drawn toward expedition experiences, one of the fastest-growing segments of the travel industry.  These luxury cruises take adventure-minded travelers to explore the Galapagos, the Arctic, and the Antarctic, on specially outfitted, beautifully appointed vessels that provide meaningful opportunities to explore these exciting destinations while providing world-class cuisine and comfort onboard.

The Luxury Cruise Lines Difference

Today’s luxury cruise lines offer an array of experiences designed to suit the most discriminating clientele.  There are options for guests who prefer a traditional luxury cruise experience and for those who lean toward a more relaxed onboard ambiance.  With so many options available, engaging the services of a travel advisor who understands the nuances that differentiate the brands of luxury cruise lines can help direct you to the onboard experience that best matches your travel style and preferences.

Regardless of your preferences, luxury cruise lines will provide intuitive service, exceptional dining, an extremely inclusive model with amenities such as beverages/wifi/ and dining included, and access to amazing destinations.  That said, the onboard experience can vary significantly on each of the luxury cruise lines.  Here are some guidelines – but keep in mind that there is a good bit of “cross-over” in the brand and these summaries are not exhaustive of the experience offered by these luxury cruise lines:

For Traditional Luxury Cruise Experience:

Crystal Cruises: Enjoy butler service for all stateroom categories, a high crew-to-guest ratio with exceptional service, and country club casual dress code by day – “Crystal Casual” smart dressy most evenings with several “formal” nights, black tie optional on longer cruises.

Seabourn Cruises: Ultra luxury small ship cruising at its finest.  Your all-inclusive cruise includes intuitive service and richly-appointed accommodations. Seabourn has a casual dress code for daytime, “elegant casual” by night, except for formal nights when jackets are required for gentlemen in The Restaurant.

Cunard: The ultimate traditional large ship luxury cruise lines. Most passengers enjoy the tradition of “dressing for dinner” with a dress code of “smart attire” – though the dress code has relaxed slightly, and ties are no longer required for gentlemen except for elegant evenings. Cunard still supplies “dance hosts” for longer sailings, such as trans-Atlantic sailings.

Modern Luxury Luxury Cruise Experience:

Silversea: Silversea offers an ultra-luxury, all-inclusive experience. They have a destination-focused approach with all-suite accommodations, all with butler service.  Most evenings are “elegant casual” attire… on “formal optional” evenings, more formal attire may be chosen – on these evenings, note that while elegant casual attire is welcome, a jacket is required for gentlemen in all indoor spaces.

Regent Seven Seas: Possibly the most inclusive of the all inclusive luxury cruise lines, Regent even includes excursions in most ports of call. Food and service are exemplary, as is service. Regent has adopted a more relaxed dress code, with “elegant casual” accepted for evening wear, including “refined denim” and “dress sneakers”.
