Luxury Cruises

"If you can afford to go First Class - and don't, your heirs will."

THE BEST OF THE BEST! If you believe that you deserve the very best... Silversea, Seabourn and Regent Seven Seas are it! These three ultra luxury lines each present a slightly different atmosphere and product and it is vitally important that you are properly matched with the right one! While the prices might seem quite "dear", keep in mind that EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED... all wine and cocktails, all tips, plus varied "extras" that cost more with other cruise lines. Remember: "Traveling in Style" is all about VALUE!

The Yachts of Seabourn present the epitome of "small ship cruising" with 3 ships of 10,000 gross tons each carrying 208 passengers. Two new, larger ships are on their way.

Silversea Cruise Line features casual elegance with four ships that are small enough to retain an intimate feel but just large enough to provide a variety of dining and entertainment options and other on-board services. Two ships are 17,000 tons and two are 25,000 tons.

Regent Seven Seas has two 700 pasenger (46,000 gross tons) ships, one 470 passenger (33,000 gross tons) ship and a 19,000 ton ship specifically suited for her year-around itineraries in French Polynesia, Tahiti and surroundings.

Here is a brief sampling of some EXCLUSIVE SPECIALS currently presented to VACATION.COM Member Agencies by these lines:
