Spacious cabins with more than 1300 square feet of space. Separate living and dining quarters. Verandahs and personal butlers.
Those are among features and services that distinguish truly luxury cruise trips, says CruiseCompete.com.
Bob Levinstein, CEO, says it is the world’s only competitive cruise pricing web site.
Some amenities he cited that separate ordinary cruises from real luxury:
- Private elevators aboard Cunard cruise ships.
- Seaborn cruise ships have special “massage moments” on deck as well as lavish health spa amenities.
- Guests staying in the penthouse and deluxe suites on Holland America receive complimentary corsages and boutonnieres on the first formal dinner night.
- Guests in Celebrity’s concierge class receive scents of fresh cut flowers daily.
- Luxury suite guests on the Cunard Queen Mary 2 dine in rooms with a private sun terrace.
- Complimentary French champagne is available to upscale guests on Crystal and Celebrity cruise ships.
- And on the Cunard, there are fresh-baked gourmet dog and cat biscuits for traveling pets (not to mention fleece blankets, food dishes and other pet goodies).
