Cruise lines are often grouped into four broad categories: contemporary, premium, luxury, and ultra-luxury. In this video, Alex from Storyline Travel explains what these categories mean and how the onboard experience typically changes as you move up. The Luxury and Ultra Luxury types of cruises often include more within the fare, such as dining, beverages, shore excursions, and a higher level of service. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean the luxury category is “better” than contemporary or premium cruise lines. The different categories simply appeal to different travelers and different expectations. Understanding how cruise lines are categorized is often the first step in narrowing the options and choosing a cruise that truly fits your travel style. At Storyline Travel, we help travelers sort through the many options so they can choose a cruise that truly matches their pace, priorities, and travel style. If you’re considering a cruise and want help narrowing the choices, schedule a consultation. https://www.storylinetravel.com/schedule Time Codes: 00:00 Welcome! 00:35 Contemporary Cruise Lines 01:19 Premium Cruise Lines 02:09 Luxury Cruise Lines 02:59 Ultra Luxury Cruise Lines ============================================================ Search for amazing cruise experiences and book an excursion for your next cruise with our Shore Excursions link!
