The main and most obvious difference between a luxury and standard cruise line will be the price point. Whilst many cruise lines will boast a lower price point, there are likely to be other additional costs such as gratuities, drinks packages, shore excursions, port transfers, specialty dining, wifi, and so on.
With a luxury cruise package, you will have very little, if any, additional charges. An all-inclusive luxury package usually means you get a lot of additional extras included! Drink packages will include all drinks, including high-end brands and champagne!
Many include shore experiences, and you will have wifi and specialty dining included as standard (please check this with your cruise specialist before booking).
And it doesn't stop there. When booking with a luxury cruise line, you will receive world-class service, luxurious accommodation, and the staff-to-guest ratio will be a lot higher.
The ships are also a lot smaller, and with fewer guests on board, there will be no need to queue for your breakfast or rush to find a lounger by the pool.
So it is worth keeping all of this in mind when you are looking at luxury cruise lines. You may find that your money goes a lot further when booking a package that includes everything you could wish for when cruising.
