Premium & luxury ocean cruises
Boutique ships with a
luxurious feel
Bringing you a curated selection of premium & luxury cruise companies and their ships
- each one personally experienced and loved by me - to ensure you have the holiday of a lifetime.
Cruise in a boutique-style hotel
What’s the difference between a premium & a luxury cruise?
The latter means you can leave your wallet at home!
The ultimate in cruising luxury. These all-suite ships deliver more - more space, more service, more included. Among the most all-inclusive vessels on the world’s oceans.
In addition to everything offered on the premium ships, your fare covers; luxury ocean-front suites, world-class dining, premium beverages & alcoholic drinks - with the exception of rare or ultra-premium bottles that may incur an extra charge, 24-hour butler service, gratuities, Wi-Fi access, and in-suite bars, along with select shore excursions – or all shore excursions depending on the cruise line
A premium cruise line offers an elevated experience compared to the larger & mega-cruise ships. These boutique ships provide enhanced amenities, better service, more refined dining options, and often unique itineraries, making them ideal for travellers seeking a more luxurious cruise experience without necessarily going all-in on the most exclusive ultra-luxury options.
Two of these cruise lines take expedition cruising to a new level of luxury—redefining adventure travel and bringing you closer to the most remote and awe-inspiring corners of the world. Onboard their state-of-the-art expedition ships, you'll find expert-led exploration teams and access to kayaks, zodiacs, and a full suite of sea toys, all designed to immerse you in the wonders of the natural world without compromising on comfort.
Exclusive cultural events
Immerse in the destinations with live entertainment and dinner served al-fresco. The ships’ deck will come alive with dancing and global food laid out or grilled on a bar-b-que - served freshly to you.
As well as cultural entertainment onboard, discover more on land - enjoy an enriching performance in Manaus or travel back to the Renaissance era in Livorno for an exclusive showing of La Traviata.
