How does a luxury cruise compare to a traditional cruise?

Compared to a traditional cruise, a luxury cruise offers a smaller ship, providing a more intimate cruising experience. The smaller vessel size allows the luxury lines to reach unique destinations that traditional cruise lines simply cannot.

Luxury lines also offer more inclusive amenities than traditional lines, such as bottled water, soda, specialty coffees, and specialty dining. Some ultra luxury lines may also include alcohol, gratuities, airfare, and shore excursions.
