Deluxe Cruise Lines

Deluxe Cruise Lines These lines offer their guests the next generation of cruising without the hefty price tag of their luxury counterparts. These are the lines for the five-star mind with the four-star budget.

While a luxury-class cruise line offers the amenities of a five-star hotel at sea, Professional Travel Guide’s Deluxe-class cruise lines offer outstanding amenities, fine dining options and superior service, as well. And they do it for a fraction of the cost of luxury lines. Some of the things you can expect to find on a deluxe-class ship include:

  • Outstanding service
  • Accommodations similar to four-star hotels
  • Updated spa and fitness facilities
  • Extensive onboard activities (live entertainment, children's programming)
  • Upscale dining options and ala carte menus
