On the question of luxury cruises, what can a person expect on one? If I had a choice, I think I’d like a smaller crowd, but are the luxury small cruises limited on what they offer? How small are they usually? I enjoy being pampered, but I like all of the activities that regular cruises offer, too; the pools, the casinos, the shops, the different restaurants, and especially the special activities they do. When you hear the word “luxury”, you usually think of spending lots of money. What do luxury small cruises offer besides the pampering services?

Luxury small cruises
Luxury cruises actually come in many sizes; some have passenger capacity as small as 35 and others number in the thousands. Regardless of size, they usually have excellent, highly rated chefs onboard to provide the best of culinary options, continuous service to each passenger, spas and such. In fact, most luxury small cruises are all-inclusive. Many small luxury cruise ships are yachts, and some of the amenities include all types of water toy equipment, casinos, golf simulators, mountain bikes for offshore use, even those two wheeled Segways to get around the ship! They have media rooms with TVs and DVDs, fitness centers and libraries. Some of them are themed cruises, and offer interactive lectures on different topics like wine, photography and history. All of this is in addition to the pampering services! Definitely worth a look-see; keep in mind it will be a bit pricier than a standard cruise, though.
