Mainstream cruise lines charge a basic fare, but the airfare, shore excursions, gratuities, beverages, transfers and other expenses are all charged separately at the end of the cruise. Most luxury cruise lines include these charges in one, all-inclusive price. Luxury cruise lines like Regent Seven Seas, Silversea Cruises, the Yachts of Seabourn and Crystal Cruises are not all the same, but they do share certain qualities: small passenger loads, gourmet cuisine, spacious and comfortable staterooms and very attentive and personalized service. Meanwhile, average mainstream cruise ships carry closer to 2,800 guests, but these larger ships offer far more onboard fun such as golf, bigger pools, hot tubs, spas, shopping, lavish entertainment and bigger casinos. We have an interesting comparison chart comparing Regent Seven Seas ships with 2-for-1 pricing and many free inclusions to other mainstream cruise lines Holland America, Princess and Celebrity. The bottom line? For comparable cruises including air, Port Charges, transfers, shore excursions, gratuities and service charges, cocktails, wine, bottled water and alternative dining, you can have an almost identical experience for about the same price. Luxury is more affordable than probably any of us thought. Come in to our office and we can help you compare cruises. www.rssc.com y easy. y hamilton. Contact your travel professional and book today!
