Luxury cruises: everything, included
All-suite ships, attentive service and fares that include the excursions, the fine wines and the gratuities, so you never reach for your wallet.
Where the ship is the destination too
Luxury lines carry fewer guests with more crew, so service feels personal from the first welcome glass of champagne. Expect spacious suites, open-seating gourmet restaurants and itineraries that linger in port, often overnighting in places like Venice, Barcelona or Lisbon.
What you see in the fare is close to what you'll pay. Many luxury lines include shore excursions, premium drinks, specialty dining, pre-paid gratuities and sometimes even business-class air and a pre-cruise hotel night. Comparing those inclusions line by line is exactly where I can help.
Perfect for you if…
- You value space, quiet and genuinely personal service
- You'd like the excursions, drinks and tips all taken care of
- You enjoy fine dining and wines with a sense of place
- You're celebrating a milestone, or simply deserve it

Best times of year
Luxury ships sail worldwide, so the best season depends on the region you have in mind.
The heart of the luxury season, from the Med to the fjords.
Smaller islands at their sunniest.
Cherry blossoms in spring and vivid foliage in fall.
Most grand voyages depart in early January.
The right ship makes the trip
Luxury lines differ more than you'd think, in atmosphere, dress code and exactly what's included. These are the ones I know best.
Your fare usually covers
- A spacious suite, many with a private balcony
- Open-seating gourmet and specialty dining
- Fine wines, premium spirits and an in-suite bar on many lines
- Shore excursions in every port on some lines (Regent, Viking)
- Pre-paid gratuities and Wi-Fi
Inclusions vary by line and fare. I'll spell out exactly what's covered, and what isn't, before you book.
Ask about my group space & current offers
Luxury lines often offer added amenities, such as onboard credit or air, that I can help you take advantage of. Cruise fares change daily, and the rates I can hold for my clients are often better than what's advertised online.
