Additionally, you can enjoy more overnight port stays, no lines and gratuities included in the fare. While in port you can also have your private shore excursions tailored to your particular interest and needs. Our travel specials can help you plan these as well. Activities that are organized plus entertainment also differ on this luxury ships. They are a bit more "refined" as well as limited, as these guests tend to prefer to keep busy with their own amusements, and enjoy cocktails or conversation at the piano bar or viewing the scaled-down Broadway-type shows. These luxury passengers do not have to be lead, they are independent and know what they want and how they want to spend their time.

Is a Luxury Cruise for You?
Most of us would say yes immediately. Who doesn't want the best of the best? However, most luxury cruise ships are not actually best suited to passengers who are looking for the entertainment, active and family-oriented cruise experience that can be found on the larger cruise ships.
Our travel specialists can help you make the proper choices when it comes to a luxury cruise vacation, as the term can be used loosely with all the comforts of cruising. However, there are varied levels of luxury, as well as service, that you should be aware of when making your cruise ship selection.
For instance, some luxury cruise ships may have better cuisine and service, while others may while others may have more entertainment for a greater crew per passenger ratio. There may be very subtle differences when it comes to little onboard perks, such as being escorted out of dining rooms or being invited by the chef to accompany him on visits to local food markets.

Unique Itineraries and Excursions
Smaller luxury ships can squeeze into ports that mega-ships are simply too big to visit (for example, the popular ports of Capri and Portofino). Some shore excursions are truly made of fantasy. You can take a MiG fighter jet flight over Moscow, or test drive a Cayenne on the Porsche factory's racetrack in Leipzig, Germany. These may not be your cup of tea, but the options are out there and our travel specialists can help you find exactly what you want.
