That’s the wonderful and leisurely world of cruising. For many years the troubled airline industry has experienced many setbacks, while the cruise industry has been growing by leaps and bounds. There are many reasons why you should consider being a part of this amazing phenomenon. Here are some.
According to some recent research from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), ninety-five percent of cruisers give top marks to their cruising experience and over seventy-five percent are planning to cruise again within three years.

There are now so many different types of cruise that anybody and everybody can find something that suits them. Some are only a few days long whilst others can last months. Some take you to beach resorts, whilst others to Antarctic conditions. The price of cruises are where the range has truly expanded however. You can now book cruises that cost very little indeed, and still find many that are more luxurious than any other form of travel. Lets examine exactly what makes a luxury cruise.
Service. Above all else, it is the service that makes a cruise luxury. If a cruise ship gets nothing else right, as long as the service is exemplary, it can still be salvaged for the customers. From the moment you step foot on the boat to the moment you hit dry land again at the end of the trip, you should be treated to first class service all the way on a luxury cruise. On certain 5 star cruises, you may even get your own butler.

Originally founded by the Lefebvre family of Rome, Silversea cruises use specially designed ships as elegant as some of the finest European hotels. Intended to be a luxury home from home on the oceans of the world, Silversea’s ships are spacious in feel and appearance, but are small in comparison with mass-market vessels, making them easily docked in less-visited, more exotic destinations.
Silversea Cruises are most definitely the pinnacle in the ultra-luxury cruise market.

Established in 2002 by luxury cruise veterans Frank Del Rio and Joseph Watters, Oceania Cruises are aimed at couples who enjoy good food and style with excellent service. The vessels in Oceania’s fleet are elegant, provide excellent food and amenities and offer extensive award-winning shore excursions. They all feature a country club-casual ambiance. The Five -Star flagship MS Regatta was launched in mid-2003. Since then, Oceania Cruises has launched two further 5-Star ships (the MS Nautica and Insignia) with another mid-size ship (the MS Marina) due to start sailing early in 2010.
oceania cruises reputation for luxury and style has been endorsed with the “Conde Nast Traveller Gold List” award for the third year running and Travel & Leisure Magazine’s “World’s Best” for the fourth year running. That’s hardly surprising as the concept of luxury cruises has essentially been redefined by this company. The flagship MS Regatta and her three sister vessels have several points of distinction. Regatta features spacious 1,000 sq ft suites with their own private Jacuzzi and a 42- inch plasma flat-screen TV with Bose surround sound system.You even get a second bathroom for guests.The suites features a queen-sized “Tranquillity Bed” designed for ultimate comfort while floor-to-ceiling glass doors reveal the wraparound teak veranda.

For some of us, the practicality of a rivers cruise is enough, using the ship mainly as a convenient floating hotel in order to visit the historic or natural attractions and cities along the banks of the Rhine or the Danube for example. For others, the term cruise is synonymous with the Caribbean, where the ship and the lure of sun and sand is the main attraction.Today, there are cruise options available that combine the attraction of a well appointed and magnificent vessel with a truly stunning itinerary.None come much better that the Regent Seven Seas cruise from Hong Kong to Cape Town.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises are definitely for those who like the amenities and variety of public spaces that a larger cruise ship can provide, but still want the all-inclusive luxury and exemplary service you get on a 6-star vessel.The 50,000-tonne Seven Seas Voyager plies this South China Sea and Indian Ocean route. It’s an all-suite, all-balcony, ship capable of accommodating 700 guests and gives a whole new dimension to the term luxury cruise with ocean-view suites and the first Le Cordon Bleu restaurant at sea.

SeaDream Yacht Club cruises specialise in intimate and very exclusive cruise holidays for a definitely younger crowd. The vessels operated by this company are magnificently appointed mega-yachts offering a true taste of marine luxury.
SeaDream operates only two vessels (SeaDream I and II) which were remodelled to make them into contemporary boutique yachts. They both carry just 108 passengers, serviced by 89 crew and sail the Mediterranean in the summer and Caribbean in the winter. Food on the SeaDream vessels is some of the best you will find at sea: beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The entire purpose of these vessels is to provide a luxury cruises experience that’s second to none.That’s reflected in the sheer opulence of the accommodation.
Suites offer 450 sq. ft. of space with a lavishly appointed bedroom, separate living room/dining area.The luxury bathroom incorporates a massage shower and separate tub and as an added touch there is a separate guest bathroom. Bath amenities are by Bvlgari, while the bedroom and living room include the latest TVs, radios, CD and DVD players. If that opulent luxury proves too overwhelming for your taste, you can choose to sleep on deck, under the stars, in Balinese Beds (huge comfy sun beds). Just let the crew know and they will arrange blankets and pillows.

For couples who are looking for a modern, sophisticated atmosphere and excellent European itineraries, five- star luxury Amadeus Waterways cruise ships are hard to beat on European rivers.Accommodation is generous with large Junior Suites onboard, well equipped gyms and delicious food. The standards of the ships are more than matched by the quality of service on board, which is consistently excellent.
AMA waterways cruises has recently added brand-new river cruise ships – MS Amadante, MS Amacello, MS Amalegro and MS Amadagio – four of the most elegant ships on European rivers. Cruises on the great European rivers, including Danube river cruises and rhine river cruises are popular because of the variety of landscapes and the stunning scenery that rolls by, but cruising on a luxury river cruise is also a perfect way to see the small towns and villages along the banks of those rivers.AMA’s ships have state-of-the-art amenities and are tastefully decorated with comfortable cabins and excellent facilities.

For most of us, it’s the romance of the Caribbean that springs to mind when you suggest a cruise holiday and the prospect of sun, tropical islands and beautiful beaches certainly makes the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico the number one choice for many first time cruisers. Some hardier types are drawn to the icy majesty of a cruise to Alaska, while others prefer the Mediterranean cruise with itineraries that cover Italy, Greece and the Greek islands.For most of us, the world cruise remains a “one of these days” pipe-dream, provided we retire early or win the national lottery.
River cruises are a great way to see the European continent, with packages covering the Danube, the Volga and, most popular of all, the Rhine. Certainly, very few river cruises can match the spectacular scenery between Bingen and Bonn as the Middle Rhine flows through the stunning Rhine Gorge with its romantic castles and vineyards towering on top of the steep gorge.But how many of us have seriously considered cruising the UK? Britain and Ireland have scenery that is just as spectacular as that found in Europe, or anywhere in the world for that matter. It’s true that the weather (or rather its unpredictable nature) is the only element that lets’ the UK down, but a luxury cruise around the British Isles can be rewarding as well as relaxing. The popularity of the recent BBC TV programme “Coast” showed that there is a demand for exploring the romantic, beautiful and exotic on our doorstep, so why not do that in 5 star comfort and style aboard a modern cruise ship?

Cruises come in a variety of shapes, sizes and packages. From the mass market floating cities that pack them in and cruise the Med to the intimate, sail-powered Dahabiya cruise vessels that ply the Nile, there’s a cruise package and a range of destinations to suit almost anyone. Despite the prevailing economic environment, the ultra luxury cruise market continues to prosper, catering to modern, more affluent travellers often in partnership with the world’s most respected luxury brands.
Success in the very high end luxury cruise sector requires a fleet of ships purpose-built for the ultra-luxury market. They tend to be smaller, more intimate vessels that can slip into more exotic ports off the beaten path. Small is of course a relative term as these ships can accommodate up to 300 – 400 guests in exquisite luxury. These elite vessels are designed for fewer guests, afford more cabin and suite space and deliver the highest levels of personalised service with a typical crew to passenger ratio of 1:3.Despite their smaller overall size combined with larger and more luxurious dining space and accommodation, these vessels still incorporate the facilities found on larger ships, such as a show lounge for nightly entertainment, casino, spa and state-of-the-art fitness facilities. Entertainment is not glitzy and Vegas-style – more low-key but very high-class, in keeping with the sort of clientele these ships attract.
