Luxury Sailings
More space. More personal service. More included.
Luxury cruising can mean intimate ships, spacious suites, personalized service, exceptional dining, more inclusive fares, and itineraries that reach places larger ships may not. The right fit depends on what matters most to you: all-inclusive value, small-ship atmosphere, destination depth, contemporary design, or an elevated adults-only experience.
Luxury, Your Way
There Is More Than One Version of Luxury
For one traveler, luxury means having more included in the fare. For another, it is a smaller ship, highly personalized service, contemporary design, or access to remote destinations. We’ll start with what matters most to you.

What Does Luxury Mean to You?

Silversea
Luxury with deep destination reach, highly personalized service, and strong expedition capability.

Luxury Can Start Closer to Home
A luxury cruise does not always require flying to Europe first. Depending on the season and itinerary, elevated and ultra-luxury sailings can begin from U.S. ports, especially in Florida.

Luxury Is Also About What You Don’t Have to Think About
Luxury cruise lines package their fares differently. Some may include shore excursions, premium beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities, specialty dining, laundry, or other benefits. Others offer different fare levels. I’ll help you compare what is actually included, not just the starting cruise fare.
Inclusions vary by cruise line, fare type, itinerary, and sailing. Exact inclusions should always be confirmed before booking.
Luxury Beyond the Usual Ports
When Luxury Meets Adventure
For travelers dreaming about places such as Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos, or remote Alaska, expedition cruising can pair serious exploration with an elevated onboard experience. Silversea and Seabourn are two luxury brands with dedicated expedition offerings.

A Different Kind of Cruise Experience
Luxury cruising can offer a quieter, more personal way to travel, but the experience varies dramatically from one line to another.
More Personal
Smaller ships and higher service levels can create a more personalized experience than traditional large-ship cruising.
More Destination Access
Smaller ships may be able to reach ports and destinations that are not accessible to the largest cruise ships.
More Included
Depending on the line and fare, more dining, beverages, gratuities, excursions, Wi-Fi, and other benefits may already be part of the trip.
