Luxury Cruise Expert Guide


What could be more enjoyable than relaxing by a pool and being served with chilled champagne and caviar while soaking up the sun under deep azure skies? It's a dream that many people have, but on a luxury cruise this dream is a reality. If you want high-class pampering, attentive service that is second to none and spacious accommodation with all those 'little extras' added in, you'll simply love luxury cruising.

A luxury cruise really is in a different league. On a luxury cruise you'll be offered nothing less than a spacious ocean view cabin as entry level accommodation. It will be nicely decorated with plush furnishings and quality bed linen, along with modern entertainment equipment such as a TV, video and DVD player. You'll have exclusive use of your own private balcony, as well as a fully-stocked bar and mini-fridge. Many cruise lines even offer personalized stationary, desk and writing equipment as standard in their cabins.

Quality of service is really out of this world on a luxury cruise. Most luxury cruise ships insure that crewmembers address customers by name from day one on board the vessel. Every need is catered for 24/7, and no task is too small (or too big). If you want burger and fries at 4 in the morning, then the crew will get you burger and fries at 4 in the morning!

The cuisine on a luxury cruise is as you would expect - heavenly! There is a wide variety of menus available on board, offering an array of exotic dishes prepared by some of the finest chefs in the world. Champagne and fine wines are on hand day and night, and you can even choose to have a first-class dining experience in the privacy of your own cabin, or sat out on your private balcony.

Naturally, a luxury cruise ship provides its passengers with an excellent selection of cruise destinations and port excursions. Visits to private islands, secluded beaches and exclusive haunts of the rich and famous are all part and parcel of a luxury cruise. Additionally, luxury cruise ships generally have fewer passengers on board than do regular non-luxury cruise vessels. This makes for a more pleasant experience when alighting from the ship at port on arrival or boarding the vessel again for departure.

Whether its accommodation, service, cuisine, entertainment or excursions, you'll find that a luxury cruise is a lot more inclusive than a standard cruise. There will in fact be very little that you have to pay for in terms of extra cost while on board - most of it will be covered in the price that you have already paid for the cruise.

But a luxury cruise is expensive, right? Not necessarily. When you add in everything that's included in the price you'll find that a luxury cruise is a lot more affordable than you think!
