What is a luxury cruise?
A luxury cruise is defined by space, service and inclusion. Unlike mainstream or even premium cruising, luxury cruise ships carry fewer guests, offer higher crew‑to‑guest ratios, and include almost everything in the fare. This means fine dining, premium beverages, gratuities, and often shore excursions are already covered.
Luxury cruise lines focus on experience rather than volume. You’ll find suites instead of standard cabins, balconies as the norm, and itineraries designed to immerse you in destinations, often through smaller ports, overnight stays, or expedition‑style landings.
For travellers who value comfort, authentic experiences and seamless travel, luxury cruising offers one of the most refined ways to explore the world.
What’s included on a luxury cruise?
While inclusions vary by cruise line and itinerary, most luxury cruises include:
- Suite accommodation (often with a private balcony)
- Fine dining across multiple restaurants with no surcharges
- Premium beverages, including wines, spirits and champagne
- Gratuities and service charges
- Wi‑Fi (usually unlimited)
- Butler or dedicated suite service
- Shore excursions on selected itineraries
- Laundry service on many ultra‑luxury lines
When compared with premium cruising or high‑end land travel, luxury cruising often delivers greater value once inclusions are factored in.

Why Cruise in Luxury?
Luxury cruising is a fundamentally different experience. The ships are smaller, the crew knows your name and the itineraries go to places larger vessels simply cannot reach. When almost everything is included, from dining and drinks to shore excursions and gratuities, the price you see is close to the price you pay. That transparency matters.
⚓The ships are intentionally smaller but offer more
Suites instead of cabins. Balconies as standard. Space that feels considered rather than tight. On a luxury ship, the ratio of crew to guests means the service is genuinely personal.

⚓ Gastronomy is taken seriously
Fine dining options, no surcharges, menus built around the destinations you are visiting. Specialty dining is included. The wine list is thoughtful. It is one of the details that separates a luxury ship from everything else.
⚓ Everything has been considered
Beverages, dining, gratuities, shore excursions on selected voyages, Wi-Fi and laundry are all part of the fare on most luxury lines. Comparing the per-day cost to a premium hotel, once you factor in what is included, often tells a different story than the headline price suggests.
⚓ Itineraries are more immersive
Smaller ships access smaller ports. Overnight stays in cities rather than a rushed few hours. Zodiac landings on expedition voyages. The kind of access that makes the destination feel real rather than ticked off.
From Our Luxury Specialists
On most luxury ships, dinner from the main restaurant can be served in your suite every evening, course by course, at no extra charge. Your butler or steward brings it to you just as it would arrive at the table. It’s one of those details that makes the difference between a nice holiday and a genuinely special one.
Frequently Asked Questions
What defines a luxury cruise?
A luxury cruise is characterised by smaller ships, higher crew‑to‑guest ratios, and an inclusive travel style. Most luxury cruise lines offer spacious suites, fine dining without surcharges, premium beverages, personalised service and immersive itineraries that go beyond major ports. Browse our luxury cruise offers to see what that looks like.
What is included in a luxury cruise fare?
Luxury cruise fares typically include suite accommodation, all dining, premium beverages, gratuities and onboard entertainment. Many also include Wi‑Fi, laundry services and shore excursions. This inclusive approach provides greater transparency and value compared to standard cruising. Our specialists will tell you exactly what’s covered on any voyage before you book. Talk to us.
Are luxury cruises all‑inclusive?
How is a luxury cruise different from a premium cruise?
Luxury cruises offer a more refined experience than premium cruising. Ships are smaller, service is more personalised, inclusions are broader, and itineraries are often more destination‑focused. Premium cruises may still charge extra for dining, drinks or excursions, whereas luxury cruises typically include these elements.
Which are the best luxury cruise lines?
The best line depends on how you like to travel. Oceania leads on food and destination depth, Ponant brings French flair and remote itineraries, Silversea sails to more destinations than any other ultra-luxury line, and Seabourn is known for intimate ships and Kimberley voyages. For yacht-style cruising, look at Scenic and Emerald Yachts.
How much does a luxury cruise cost?
Luxury cruise fares with Cruiseabout start from around $3,300 per person and rise with ship, suite and voyage length. Because so much is included in the fare, the headline price often compares well to a premium cruise once you add up what you’d otherwise pay for separately. See current pricing on our luxury cruise offers.
Where do luxury cruises sail?
Luxury ships sail almost everywhere, but they shine where smaller vessels have the advantage. Popular picks for our travellers include the Mediterranean, Japan and Asia, the South Pacific, Australia’s Kimberley coast and Antarctica.
Do I earn World360 Rewards points when I book a luxury cruise with Cruiseabout?
Yes. When you book an eligible cruise through a Cruiseabout consultant, the lead traveller earns points on the booking once it’s paid in full and travelled. Points are usually credited within about a week of your travel. Booking your flights and hotels through us at the same time earns points on those too. Register to become a World360 Rewards member.
