Which one do you prefer? Do you like big cruise ships that contain more than 4,000 passengers or smaller ships that are under 1000? Some ports do not handle larger ships, and attention to the passenger is better on small ships. So get acquainted with the possibilities of these luxury cruise lines.
Some of the luxury cruise lines have smaller ships. I say Azamaru Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Regent Cruises Seven Seas and Sailor Cruises. That means you get more ports. Yes, they may cost more, but the benefits may be just worth it. These luxury cruise lines give you the best travel experience, most of which are all inclusive. This means that there are no additional packages for drinks, no additional services that are unexpected.
Cruises Azamar
Azamara cruises focus on Destination Immersion, where longer stays, more overnight stays and overnight tours are included on 100% of their voyages. You can explore everything from nightlife in Stockholm and morning walks on the French Riviera to daytime adventures in the tropical forests of Costa Rica. You will experience boutique style vessels with a maximum of 686 guests, staff and crew can quickly find out your name, tastes and preferences. All of this with a host of inclusive amenities such as standard spirits, international bees and wines, tips, and the AzAmazing Evenings event (on most flights) - all with their compliments. All guests are also offered bottled water, soft drinks, specialty coffee and tea, English butler services for luxury guests, self-service laundry, transfer to and from ports (where available), and concierge services for personal guidance and booking.
Visit ports such as Marseille, Amalfi, Crete, or even Bangkok’s doorstep (while other major cruise lines are connected in a few hours), the heart of Seville and the center of Bordeaux. Feel the culture, cuisine, scenery and people from your destinations. The crew really wants to talk with the guests and will gladly point out things on the sea and on land and go beyond your expectations.
Crystal Cruises / Cruise River Cruises / Crystal Yachts
Another cruise line is all inclusive. This includes free tips, an unlimited choice of restaurants, including specialty restaurants, complimentary fine wines and premium alcoholic drinks, service in the open bars in all lounges and all non-alcoholic drinks. In addition, you get 24-hour room service, tea, golf lessons, computer technology classes and a technological concierge, Crystal Visions enrichment program, entertainment and free laundry. One coastal excursion is included in each trip as part of the “We Care / Take Care” program. And you can bring your own wine / liquor without any cleaning fees!
For the most part, no indoor smoking (with the exception of the Connoisseur Club) is an excellent and elegant alternative to large ships. They now offer river cruises, yacht cruises, luxurious air and residences. Reservations open for 2017 and 2018. The yacht is a comprehensive super yacht with 31 luxury suites and two free Crystal Adventures excursions to most ports, depending on the destination. Also available are water sports from the yacht platform of the yacht and do not forget about the modern submersible submersible loading materials with two passengers and a certified pilot. River cruises will be based in Paris and will have different lengths of cruises, all apartments and will have their first sail in July 2016 with tariffs 2 and 1 per night in popular ports.
Ocean Cruises
Oceania Cruises allows you to see an impressive selection of diverse and exotic locations with elegance. These are unique routes specifically designed to showcase the most exciting destinations. They are intimate and luxurious, visiting historic cities to modern meccas to charming seaside villas along sparking coastlines.

Exciting flights to more than 250 ports around the world in the comfort of smokeless air on almost all of their ships. These ports are one of the more intimate ports that large ships cannot reach on a ship that has all the suites with 97% of them with a private balcony. There are only 490 or 700 guests, resulting in stellar service, no lines and no waiting.
Seabourn Cruises
With Seabourn, you go to your own private club, where participants have extensive open decks, invite public spaces and the personal attention of an exceptional team. There are unique routes that need to be seen in cities and hidden gems where larger ships cannot go. These are intimate ships with no more than 300 spacious suites with a wide view of the ocean, most of which with verandas. Intuitive staff is keen on their guests. Gourmet restaurants that compete with the finest restaurants in the world, welcome champagne and a luxury bar, equipped with your preferences, free dining halls, where you can dine at will, at your will and at will. This is a comprehensive experience with open bars on the ship and fine wines scattered for lunch and dinner. Tips are either necessary or not expected.
Seabourn visits wish areas and small ports such as Saint-Tropez, France and Palarmo, Spain. Visit the lesser-known Caribbean islands of Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, the Grenadines, Guadeloupe and St. Barthélemy and St. Louis. Keats Shore excursions are available for purchase with plenty of time to explore each port of call.
