Service. Above all else, it is the service that makes a cruise luxury. There is only so much material provisions that money can buy, but service can keep getting better. From the welcome introduction to the farewell send off, you should expect the conduct and attentiveness of all the staff to be of the highest quality. On certain 5 star cruises, you may even get your own butler.

Food. One thing that has always been of a good base standard on most cruise ships is the food, but on the cheaper modern cruises standards sometimes slip. You’ll find that some of the finest chefs in the world work on the luxury cruise ships and produce some simply exquisite food and drink for your pleasure. Additionally, for the cost of luxury you should also be granted more flexibility in terms of the foods you can order and the times of day you can order it.

Facilities/Entertainment. This is another area where you will really notice the difference in quality. The top end cruises are able to offer their customers the highest level of facilities including dining and leisure facilities, but additionally provide world class shows at the same time. The top performers often strive to work on the best ships such as Oceania Cruises, so it most often the case that the best professional performers and directors are snapped up by luxury cruise lines and provide real quality entertainment.
