why book a cruise suite?

Have you been saving up to go on a cruise, maybe for your honeymoon, an anniversary, a girls’ week away, or a family vacation? Make sure your cruise vacation lives up to your expectations by booking a suite.

Let’s be honest: it’s hard to justify going on a cruise if you book a cabin. Not only are they the smallest rooms on the ship (some even have bunk beds to maximize space), but their lack of windows will require you to go out to the deck to see the passing scenery – and rarely will you find an empty chair. Oceanview cabins, though the name sounds quite lovely, is not usually much more than an inside cabin, with a single window or porthole.

On the other hand, suites are the way to truly enjoy your vacation on the seas. Ranging from standard suites to luxury and even penthouse, at the minimum, suites are 50% larger than cabins and come with added amenities, some of which include: floor to ceiling windows, whirlpool bath and shower, a mini-bar and refrigerator, and either a queen bed and sofa or 2 twin beds and sofa.

Most importantly, suites include a sitting area and a private verandah for lounging and dining. (If you’re traveling with a large group, consider booking a least one suite, so your party can enjoy the benefits of the private verandah.)

Luxury Cruise packages tailored to suit your preferences

Imagine such impeccable attention to detail, where truffles are left on your pillow and the blackjack dealer takes the time to learn your name. Imagine a menu catered to your dietary desires and then prepared by world class chefs. Imagine a ship with all suites and balconies, each over-looking the incredible sea-scape; you feel like Royalty of the Seas, rather than feeling trapped in a cracker-box. Imagine the luxury and quality of some of the world’s most lavish hotels, but with the intimacy of personalized service, coupled with the warmth of feeling at home. Imagine a six-star cruising experience that leaves you wanting to stay longer and wishing the end had not come so soon.

At the Travel Team, we take pride in helping you discover how to use one of your most precious commodities – your leisure time. A luxury cruise combines elegance, respite, and pampering into a unique world-class experience, tailored to your desires. We have outstanding relationships with all of the world-class cruise liners, from Seabourn and Crystal to Regent Seven Seas and Windstar Cruises. Let us help you visit both some of the world’s most sought after destinations as well as some of the most exclusive destinations. You tell us the ports and destinations, and we will help to fill in the details!

From Caribbean, Mediterranean, and European to Australian and World Excursion cruises, a luxury cruise is not as far out of your reach as you think it is. With all-inclusive packages, the difference is more in the impecible service and outstanding class than it is in the price. We know you don’t want to be nickle-and-dimed to death – signing for a drink, signing for a yoga class, signing for a cookie for the kids. Instead, luxury cruises take into account all of those expenses, allowing you to truly relax and enjoy your cruise experience.
