A GUIDE TO PREMIUM AND LUXURY CRUISING
Opulent surroundings, attentive service and quality dining are hallmarks of luxury cruises on both small ships and mega-yachts that often cater for only a few hundred guests. You can expect more space with upscale suite accommodation, chic deck areas and speciality restaurants, while ashore the emphasis is on destination discovery at ports of call more off the beaten track. Such cruises are largely all-inclusive, without extra charges for drinks, gratuities and, in some cases, shore excursions.
A GUIDE TO EXCLUSIVE CLUBS AND SUITES
Cruise ship accommodation is moving upmarket with mainstream lines increasingly introducing more suites and exclusive guest areas; in some cases creating an intimate “ship within a ship” feel. Choose from spa suites that have unlimited access to wellness areas, suites with butler service or those with direct access to private restaurants, their own swimming pool and exclusive deck areas.
