Luxury Difference
When is it time to "step up" to luxury cruising? When you're tired of mass marketed itineraries, huge ships carrying thousands of passengers, receiving average service, cuisine and accommodations.
From the moment you step onboard a luxury cruise vessel the vast differences will be apparent, from the lovely accommodations to the gourmet dining, and sharing the experience with an intimate number of like-minded travelers.
Stateroom Choices: Almost all luxury cruise lines offer all-suite accommodations, many with marble baths and walk-in closets. Expect top of the line bed and bath linens and amenities, and your choice of pillow type. Large, flat screen TVs are the norm, outfitted with exceptional sound systems. Don't be surprised if you enjoy a beautiful veranda attached to your stateroom.
The dining experience: One of the hallmarks of any luxury cruise is the pride taken in offering some of the world's finest cuisine and vintage wines, prepared by award-winning chefs. Every meal is a new adventure, whether it's a casual buffet, to elegant seated dinners, served by tuxedo-clad waitstaff. Fine table linens, china and crystal are the norm on a luxury cruise, and of course on a luxury cruise you can always choose to dine in the comfort of your own stateroom if preferred.
Cultural enrichment programs: Another enviable aspect of a luxury cruise is the opportunity to learn and experience the culture and history of your destinations. World-renowned experts accompany every ship and share their experience and area of expertise with fellow passengers, whether it's a museum curator discussing ancient Greek architecture or Renaissance paintings in Italy. Perhaps you'll meet a famous author, discussing their work, or perhaps say hello to a foreign ambassador onboard who will illuminate his or her personal knowledge of the destination you're visiting.
Extraordinary Personal Service: Perhaps the most wonderful treat of indulging in a luxury cruise is enjoying a level of personalized service you thought not possible. With the excellent guest to staff ratios you'll always have someone available to you to handle your every request, large or small. The staff know your name, and take pride in anticipating your needs. It feels like every guest has their very own personal concierge throughout the voyage.
