It will be nicely decorated with plush furnishings and quality bed linen, along with modern entertainment equipment such as a TV, video and DVD player. You'll have exclusive use of your own private balcony, as well as a fully-stocked bar and mini-fridge.

According to Forbes, recent statistics indicate that 10.5 million people take luxury cruises. Of these people, there are some who need to go above and beyond the normal luxury, and are willing to pay more to get it. For this set there are the ultra-luxurious cruises, which offer such amenities as helicopter pick-ups, access to exclusive nightclubs ashore, language courses, wellness seminars, Tai Chi and wine-tasting.

The cuisine on a luxury cruise is as you would expect - heavenly! There is a wide variety of menus available on board, offering an array of exotic dishes prepared by some of the finest chefs in the world. Champagne and fine wines are on hand day and night, and you can even choose to have a first-class dining experience in the privacy of your own cabin, or sat out on your private balcony.
Naturally, a luxury cruise ship provides its passengers with an excellent selection of destinations and port excursions. Visits to private islands, secluded beaches and exclusive haunts of the rich and famous are all part and parcel of a these cruises. Additionally, these ships generally have fewer passengers on board than do regular non-luxury cruise vessels. This makes for a more pleasant experience when alighting from the ship at port on arrival or boarding the vessel again for departure.
Whether its accommodation, service, cuisine, entertainment or excursions, you'll find that a luxury cruise is a lot more inclusive than a standard cruise. There will in fact be very little that you have to pay for in terms of extra cost while on board - most of it will be covered in the price that you have already paid for the cruise.
