The minute you board a luxury cruise vessel you will understand what sets these ships apart from the large traditional contemporary cruise ships.  The staff offers you a personal level of attention and pampering.  From the cabin stewards, dining staff, chefs, and even the butlers, their goal is to provide you with the best of the best at every turn and expect your every need.  Some luxuries are easy to spot, but others are a huge surprise. State of the art spas, the finest bed linens, wait staff by the pool, superb dining, exquisite wines, water sports off the aqua deck, or personalized shore side arrangements.  These well planned spacious ships are much smaller so they visit exotic ports of call allowing you to see and be a part of the natural culture.

Luxury is more than all inclusive.....it is a philosophy or an attitude to have all your wants and needs fulfilled.
