A luxury cruise ship offers the perfect home-from-home, with butler service and sumptuous suites. It’s the ideal place to relax after a day of exploring nearby destinations, welcoming you back on-board with fine dining, extraordinary entertainment and plenty of opportunities to indulge.

But which luxury cruise ships are our favourites? We take a look at the most popular ships of 2019 below.

Azamara Pursuit

Only joining the fleet in 2018, Azamara Pursuit has made more than a lasting impression for Azamara. The ship offers elegant staterooms, with plush bathrooms and luxurious linens, while shared spaces combine contemporary decor with tantalising dining venues and unmatched entertainment.

The ship also immerses you in each and every port visited, thanks to the cruise line’s Destination Immersion focus. This offers plenty of opportunities to gain insight into the stops on your itinerary, with exceptional excursions and longer overnight stays to really enjoy time ashore.

Seabourn Odyssey

As the first of new class for Seabourn’s current fleet, Seabourn Odyssey set the standard for the cruise line that we know today. She boasts one of the largest space-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry, catering to just 450 guests, and offers wealth of first-rate features across all of her decks.

90% of staterooms offer private verandas, you can dine on world-class cuisine and enjoy spectacular entertainment during evenings at sea. The ship has always had a special place in cruisers hearts as, on her maiden voyage, all the guests on-board were honoured as Seabourn Odyssey’s godparents and a plaque with their names was permanently mounted on a wall inside the ship.

Riviera

Oceania Cruises’ Riviera features rich design and magnificent charm that it’s no surprise she appears in this list. Attention to detail is paramount on-board, with suites exclusively furnished with Ralph Lauren Home and fabrics dressed to accentuate the ship’s overall style.
