Cruises are a favorite method of travel for many travelers, and it’s understandable why this is true. For many people, cruises are the best – and only – way to travel the Caribbean and other exotic destinations in the world at an affordable price. Staterooms are typically inexpensive in comparison to airfare and hotel, and the food is free. However, some cruisers aren’t looking for a bargain. They’re looking for sheer luxury from start to finish, and these are the best cruise packages on the market.
Celebrity Solstice Penthouse Suites – $2,126 per night
The penthouse suites in the Celebrity Solstice line are some of the nicest in the cruise industry, and certainly some of the most expensive. Each suite is approximately 1,300 square foot, and has a private veranda, 52-inch LCD television, a dining room and a baby grand piano. It also comes with a personal concierge and even some free drinks each night.
Oceania Cruise Owner’s Suite – $2,790 per night
The Oceania Cruise line offers two ships with owner’s suites that offer packages that you simply cannot refuse. These cruise lines feature 2,000 square feet of living space and are completely furnished with only items from the Ralph Lauren Home collection. There is a private butler for each room, because you should have everything you want at any time you want.
Holland America Penthouse Suite – $5,800 per night
What people love about the cruise package that includes this 1,300 square foot suite is the fact that it comes equipped with so many features. Private butler pantries, almost full-size kitchens and private balconies are great. However, it’s the full-size marble bath and shower that are the real draw for people who choose this amazing cruise package.
Queen Mary II Suites – $8,340 per night
The Balmoral Suites and the Sandringham Duplexes are some of the most expensive cruise ship packages in the world. They feature 2,249 square feet to enjoy, marble baths, guest suites and so much more. Each of the decks and verandas in these suites are situated so that the people on the rest of the cruise ship can see you on your balcony, which is something that many travelers appreciate.
Silver Whisper by Silversea – $13,000 per night
This 115-night cruise is going to take you to 28 countries and it’s going to take you four months to complete. It’s a wonderful cruise for those who have the time, and the staterooms are the most luxurious imaginable. You get to verandas, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Oh, and a helicopter will pick you up at home and serve you $5,000 beluga caviar on the way to the ship’s helipad.
