Are Luxury Cruises really that much more expensive than regular cruises? Sure, the upfront cost of a luxury cruise may appear higher than a mainstream cruise at first glance. BUT consider the inclusions offered by luxury cruise lines and it’s worth a closer look. While it can be possible to leave booking a regular cruise to the last minute – luxury cruises can be different.
Most luxury cruise lines include your tips – regular cruise lines don’t.
This is an automatic saving of at least USD$15 per person each day.
Many Luxury Cruises include your Drinks and/or Specialty Dining. Some even include unlimited shore tours! That value can be hundreds of dollars a day!
The mainstream cruise lines often charge a basic fee to get passengers on board. Once they have a full ship, everything is set up to get you to pay for extras. Drinks, Tips, Specialty Restaurants, Shore Excursions, Photos, Fitness Classes, Laundry, they all add up, to a big room bill to settle on your last day. I can honestly say that I have walked off Regent Seven Seas and Scenic River Cruises without a single cent to pay!
Then consider the higher quality fixtures and fittings on luxury ships, such as the best mattresses and pillows money can buy. And the better service that comes with lower passenger numbers.
It can be a big decision choosing between a suite on a mainstream megaship, opposed to a stateroom on a luxury cruise. But I can assure you once you have sampled the luxury cruise experience – you’ll be ready to plan your next one.
