When people say, “Cruising’s not for me,” my first thought is always the same: You probably just haven’t found the right cruise line yet.
Because here’s the truth—cruises are not one-size-fits-all. The modern cruise industry is incredibly diverse, with each brand offering its own personality, onboard atmosphere, and unique approach to travel. Whether you're looking for barefoot luxury, family-friendly fun, cultural immersion, or sustainable exploration, there’s a cruise out there that fits youperfectly.
And once you find it? You’ll never look at travel the same way again.
Some are sleek and sophisticated, designed for adults who appreciate fine dining, contemporary design, and an atmosphere of refined calm.
Others are vibrant and lively, catering to families, multigenerational groups, or those who want round-the-clock entertainment and fun-filled days.
Expedition lines offer adventure and access to remote destinations, while river cruises bring you into the heart of cities and towns with curated cultural experiences.
Luxury lines deliver elegant, all-inclusive journeys with a high crew-to-guest ratio and bespoke service that rivals the best five-star resorts.
There’s no “best cruise line”—there’s only the best cruise line for you.
Yes, ships vary enormously. Some are floating cities with rollercoasters, robot bartenders, and waterparks. Others are intimate, yacht-style vessels with under 100 guests. But it's not just the ship that matters—it's the itinerary, the pace, and the experiences ashore that can truly define your cruise.
Some cruises offer overnight stays in port, giving you time to explore local nightlife, culture, and cuisine.
Others might stop in two destinations in one day, perfect for those who love to maximise their travel days.
There are itineraries for nature lovers, foodies, history buffs, and sunseekers alike.
Where you go—and how you go—makes all the difference.
and the idea that “you’ll be nickel-and-dimed the whole time.” That really depends on the cruise line.
Many lines now offer generous inclusions such as:
Drinks packages (sometimes even premium brands)
Gratuities
Wi-Fi
Specialty dining
Shore excursions
Wellness experiences
Luxury and ultra-luxury lines often include everything, while more entry-level brands let you pick and choose. Again, it’s about matching the right product to your expectations.
🛑 “I don’t like crowds.”
Not all ships are mega-ships. Many cruise lines operate small ships or boutique vessels with fewer than 100–500 passengers. These offer a calm, intimate experience with plenty of space.
🛑 “I get seasick.”
Modern ships have advanced stabilisers, and many itineraries stick to calm waters. River cruises and coastal voyages are ideal for nervous sailors.
🛑 “I don’t want to eat at buffets.”
Plenty of cruises now feature à la carte dining, room service, and even Michelin-level cuisine. Some ships have 10+ dining venues to choose from.
🛑 “Cruises aren’t sustainable.”
Sustainability varies by cruise line. Many are making huge strides with eco-friendly ships, shore power, reduced emissions, plastic-free policies, and community-based tourism. Let me help you choose one that aligns with your values.
🛑 “Cruises are too rigid.”
Today’s cruises offer a lot of flexibility—from dine-anytime restaurants and open excursion choices to personalised spa, wellness, and activity schedules. Some even offer tailor-made land extensions and pre-/post-cruise stays.
