Luxury Cruising Starts With Us
Luxury cruising is a different kind of travel. Smaller ships, higher crew-to-guest ratios, all-inclusive pricing and itineraries that take you well beyond the main ports. Once you’ve done it, it’s hard to go back.
Our specialists have sailed these ships and walked these ports. We don’t send you a list of 30 options and leave you to sort it out. We ask the right questions, then match you with the ship and the voyage that fits. New to luxury cruising or a seasoned traveller, the conversation is the same: what matters most to you?
Some experiences shouldn’t wait. Talk to a luxury cruise specialist today.

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.
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.
Are luxury cruises all‑inclusive?
Most luxury cruises are largely all‑inclusive, covering the majority of onboard expenses. While inclusions vary by cruise line and itinerary, luxury travellers can generally expect minimal additional costs once onboard.
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.
