WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LUXURY CRUISE AND A REGULAR CRUISE?

I've been asked what is the difference between a Luxury cruise and a Regular cruise.  Luxury is defined different ways by different people.  To some it is expensive and beautiful things,  a refined on-board atmosphere, exotic destinations, spacious accommodations, or the highest level of personalized service.

The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines Luxury as:

1 : a condition of abundance or great ease and comfort : sumptuous environment lived in luxury. 2: something adding to pleasure or comfort but not absolutely necessary.

There are 6 different types of Luxury Cruise Ships:




1. The Traditional Luxury Cruise Ship                                                                                                       Focus on the Traditional Elements of Luxury

        • Personalized pampering
        • Spacious cabins
        • Gourmet cuisine
        • World class selection of wine and spirits
        • Smaller ships with less than 1000 passengers
        • Passengers tend to be on the older side, though you will find wealthy young couples and families
        • Inclusive pricing                                                                                             

        •                       
2. Contemporary Luxury and Upscale Cruise Lines
               Mix mainstream cruise hallmarks with luxurious attractions
        • Destination-intensive itineraries
        • Offer more intimate or adult-oriented ships
        • Offer top-end
        • Pricing between the traditional luxury lines and the large mainstream ships (based on cabin class and itinerary)
        • Good choice for travelers that want to upgrade but aren't sure they can afford the traditional luxury liner 


3. Luxury on the Mainstream Ships                                                                                                       For people who want more exciting activities on board than the smaller luxury ships                   offer
        • Offer a more happening night life
        • Have programs for children and teens
        • Exclusive suite complexes
        • Private sun decks and lounges
        • Private Restaurants
        • Extra amenities, services and VIP Privileges
        • Extra perks for their higher-paying guests
        • Affluent travelers can avoid the hassles of mega-ship life like long queues and sun decks
        • Can still benefit from what the ships offer such as top deck activities, multiple night life venues, and entertainment options




4. Luxury on the River
                A more high-end experience
        • All inclusive 
          • Most shore excursions
          • Exclusive events (private concerts, gourmet meals)
          • Drinks throughout the ship around the clock
          • Bicycles for passenger use
          • Airport transports and gratuities
          • Spa and fitness center
          • Butler and room service
          • Carry fewer passengers
          • Ships feel roomy and uncrowded



5. Luxury and Adventure on an Explorer Ship
                For the more adventurous cruiser
        • Exotic locations and unique experiences
          • Unusual locales, such as Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galapagos, Mexico's Sea of Cortez, Australia, Africa, and off the beaten path Alaska
          • Riding in Zodiacs or submarines
          • Helicopters
          • Kayaks, snorkeling, wet suits, parkas and boots provided by the cruise ship

          • Jacuzzi pools
          • Cigar lounge
          • Fine dining
          • Large cabins

          •  No crowds and more emphasis on relaxation
          • Small ships mimic that private yacht feel
          • Pampering service
          • Fine dining
          • Fine furnishings like king beds and marble furnishings
          • Off ship pursuits like snorkeling, hiking, biking and kayaking

Considering a timeshare for your vacation needs? Before you succumb to the allure of free tickets or discounted dinners at a timeshare presentation, it's crucial to weigh the benefits against the risks. While timeshares offer the advantage of a designated vacation spot, there are pitfalls you need to be aware of before committing to a lifelong arrangement. Understanding Timeshare Basics: When contemplating real estate investments, timeshares differ significantly. Unlike traditional property ownership, a timeshare doesn't grant ownership of a specific property. Instead, it provides the right to use a property or a group of properties for a designated period annually. This lack of ownership flexibility and the obligation to pay annual fees make timeshares distinct from typical real estate investments. Benefits of Timeshare Ownership: 1.      Consistent Vacation Destination: Ideal for those who prefer routine and stability, timeshares offer a fixed vacatio...
