The Contemporary & Mega Ship Experience

For those who want it all, broadway style entertainment, expansive water parks, and a dozen dining options on a single ship, our contemporary partners lead the way. These lines are perfect for families, first-time cruisers, and those who love the energy of a vibrant resort atmosphere.

Premium & Boutique Cruising

If you prefer a more refined atmosphere with a focus on culinary excellence and longer stays in port, our premium partners offer the perfect balance. These ships generally host fewer passengers and prioritize sophisticated design and destination-focused enrichment.

Ultra-Luxury & All-Inclusive

For the discerning traveler, luxury cruise lines provide a near-private yacht experience. These deals often feature all-inclusive pricing where everything from fine wines to private shore excursions is included in your fare.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cruise line is best for first-time cruisers?

Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line are widely considered the best for beginners. Royal Caribbean offers a “do-it-all” experience with massive ships and diverse activities, while Carnival provides a high energy, budget-friendly entry point. For those who prefer a more traditional and organized experience, Princess Cruises is a top rated choice for first timers.

Which cruise lines are best for families with children?

Disney Cruise Line is the industry gold standard for families with young children due to its themed entertainment and specialized youth spaces. For families with teens or multi-generational groups, Royal Caribbean’s Icon class and Oasis class ships offer unrivaled water parks and high tech activities that cater to all ages.

Are there adults-only cruise lines?

Yes. Virgin Voyages is a popular modern, adults-only (18+) line known for its social vibe and unique dining. Viking Ocean Cruises also maintains an 18+ policy and offers a more tranquil, enrichment-focused atmosphere. Many premium lines like Celebrity Cruises are adult-centric, even if they aren’t strictly adults only.

What is the difference between “Mainstream” and “Premium” cruise lines?

Mainstream lines (like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and MSC) focus on large ships, high energy entertainment, and family friendly amenities at an accessible price.

Premium lines (like Celebrity, Holland America, and Oceania) offer a more refined experience with fewer passengers, higher crew-to-guest ratios, more sophisticated dining, and longer stays in port.

Which cruise lines offer the most all-inclusive value?

Ultra-luxury lines such as Regent Seven Seas, Silversea, and Seabourn provide the most comprehensive inclusions, often bundling shore excursions, premium spirits, gratuities, and sometimes even flights into the base fare. In the mainstream and premium sectors, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is famous for its “Free at Sea” promotions which allow guests to bundle perks like Wi-Fi and open bars.

Which lines are best for specific destinations like Alaska or the Panama Canal?

Princess Cruises and Holland America Line are the undisputed leaders in Alaska, holding decades of expertise and exclusive permits for glacier viewing. For the Panama Canal, look for lines like Celebrity or Norwegian that offer “Partial Transit” or “Full Transit” itineraries on mid-sized ships designed to fit through the historic locks.
