Top 5 Luxury Cruises That Will Have You Living La Dolce Vita

Row, Row, Row Your Boat Gently Out to Sea! Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Merrily, Life’s a Luxury. 

Luxury Cruising is the ultimate way to “sea” the globe from sea to shining sea. With endless amenities and suites built for the upper echelon, these intimate Luxury Cruises are an absolute dream and are worth every single penny. You get to experience top-tier fine dining and staff that make your entire experience a sophisticated ocean breeze.  

With that said, it’s 2024 - and the options for Luxury Cruises are endless. Sometimes nailing down a decision like this can feel like quite a feat. Below, you will find a list of our favorite Luxury Cruise Lines and why we think they exude the chicest vibes of high society.  

Venice Port

 Seabourne

This cruise line is truly the creme de la creme! Seabourne provides an intimate experience with these small and exclusive cruise liners that typically carry less than 500 guests. Seabourne creates an experience that anyone would envy. With Michelin trained chefs on board to serve you delectable and divine meals and fitness centers with top-of-the-line equipment - the amenities provided for you as a guest is something that you will not find on any other cruise line.  

No matter the destination, Seabourne carefully and meticulously plans its path for the guests to have endless and stunning views. Whether you’re running on the treadmill, dining al fresco, or lying in bed staring out your balcony window - you will always be greeted with an ocean view that is romantic and breathtaking.  

Zen at Sea

 Crystal

Crystal Cruise Line is luxurious and provides a special treat for guests, emphasis on treat. If you are a foodie like me, then Crystal Cruise Lines are for you. The cruise ships Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony both have Nobu restaurants on board.  

You’ve heard of Nobu, the famous, elegant, and expensive restaurant most famous for its Los Angeles location serving the likes of Kim Kardashian, Timothee Chalamet, and Leonardo DiCaprio. There are plenty of other Nobu restaurants across the United States, but have you ever considered dining at Nobu at sea? 

For those who enjoy fine dining, this is not a Cruise Line you would ever want to miss.  

Many celebrities and artists take Crystal.  Grammy award-winning singers, such as Gloria Gaynor, often perform while on board. If there is an artist you like, I’ll keep my eyes peeled for you so you can possibly attend one of their shows on the ocean blue.  

MSC Europa 

This cruise line recommendation goes out to our families and family-oriented groups! MSC Europa carries around 700 passengers - and unlike certain luxury cruise lines which are structured primarily for adults - the MSC provides endless activities for the young and young at heart.  

With activities such as a water park, roller rink, and arcade - this cruise has the most unique amenities that will keep you and your children entertained for the duration of the cruise. This cruise also has the largest dry slide on a cruise ship, so it’s the chance of a lifetime that you must experience! 

Beyond activities for the kids, there are plenty of things for the adults to do as well, not just pools, hot tubs, and beach chairs. The MSC Europa also has a casino and brewery on board, so you can experience your own Monte Carlo gambling fantasy if that’s something that interests you.  

When on board the MSC Europa, you will not only discover that there is something for everyone, but you will also perhaps rediscover your inner child.  

Snorkeling with Sea Turtles

 Silversea 

Unlike the MSC Europa, Silversea Cruises are not typically child friendly. In fact, we suggest Silversea Cruises for couples, whether they be honeymooners or romances that have lasted several lifetimes.  

f you’re a couple looking for the opportunity to get away and hit the reboot button on your relationship, or you’re just starting out and planning to take a honeymoon - then this cruise line is the one for you. 

There are a couple of Silversea Cruises that tend to attract couples 40-and-over. These are more relaxed experiences that include spas and baths, exceptional butler service, endless caviar, and champagne that never stops flowing. The dining on Silversea is delicious and breathtaking. 

Silversea also has cruises that offer more of an expedition vibe, and would be ideal for newer couples or groups of friends. They also provide Grand Voyages across the globe that might be fun for groups of friends as these grand cruises tend to last between 50-80 days. Perhaps Silversea is the escape you’ve been looking for all this time.  

Shine Bright in Croatia

 Windstar 

We love Windstar Cruises. These intimate seafaring adventures tend to accommodate 300 to 400 passengers, creating an intimate experience. It feels more like a luxurious yacht than it does a cruise. It’s a great opportunity to get your friends together and travel the world by sea.  

These cruise liners are usually smaller, so they can travel in smaller and more narrow spaces, giving you as a passenger the possibility to see destinations that would not be possible if you were taking a larger cruise line. The list of possible destinations to visit is endless and unique. 

Another unique amenity aboard Windstar Cruises are the variety of onboard culinary courses. Drink wine, learn to make gnocchi, and watch the ocean waves pass you by. I can’t think of a better way to spend time sailing the seven seas.
