Why book Big Ship Luxury?

Booking a larger and more luxurious suite on a cruise ship can significantly elevate your overall cruising experience, offering a range of advantages and amenities that go beyond what standard cabins provide. You can enjoy all the benefits of a big cruise ship - including a vast range of dining venues, bars, lounges, entertainment, sports and gym facilities, to name a few - with the added luxury touches and all-inclusive offerings which will ensure a stress-free and more relaxing holiday.

One of the most apparent benefits of opting for larger cruise ship suites is the increased space it offers. These accommodations typically come with more room to move around, making your time onboard more comfortable and enjoyable. With extra space, you might have the luxury of a separate living area, a dining space, and even room for private gatherings, which can be especially valuable during longer cruises.

Enhanced amenities are another draw for those looking to book a suite. These can include private balconies, whirlpool tubs, separate living areas, and even a personal butler. These added comforts can bring a touch of luxury to your cruising experience, making it more akin to a five-star hotel on the water.

The view from your suite can be a defining factor in your cruise experience. Larger and better suites often grant access to floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies, offering spectacular vistas of the open sea and the ports of call. This is particularly beneficial for those who cherish scenic cruising and stunning ocean landscapes.

Privacy and exclusivity are additional perks associated with booking Big Ship Suites. Many cruise lines provide exclusive access to designated areas or private lounges, creating a sense of exclusivity and escape from the bustling crowds on the ship. Top tier suites on some cruise ships even allow guests private spa and steam room access, plus outdoor terrace areas with private hot tubs, away from the busier public outdoor areas.

A personalised touch is often associated with suites. Some come with a dedicated butler or concierge services, ensuring that your needs and requests are promptly met. This personalised service can make your cruise feel tailor-made and exceptionally convenient.

Big Ship Luxury Cruise Lines

The concept of big ship Luxury in the cruising world represents an elevated and exclusive experience within a larger cruise ship, offering a heightened level of luxury, privacy, and personalised service to a select group of passengers. It can be likened to a 'ship within a ship' concept. Typically found on larger cruise ships, big ship suites cater to travellers seeking a more upscale and exclusive cruise experience.

These added luxuries and perks come at a premium cost which are not your standard for the larger ships and mainstream cruise lines that you may be familiar with. Rather, prices reflect the luxury onboard experience offered and are more in line with the cost of the luxury cruise lines we tend to partner with at Panache Cruises.

We are proud to partner with some of the most popular cruise lines in the world who offer beautiful onboard escapes in these stunning inclusive (and exclusive) suites. Take a look below and find out more about what each cruise line includes in their luxurious Big Ship Luxury offering.

Big Ship Luxury for Special Occasions

For special occasions, such as anniversaries or honeymoons, booking a larger and more luxurious suite can provide a romantic and memorable setting, perfect for celebrating in style.

Moreover, suites often come with additional perks like complimentary beverages, specialty dining, shore excursion credits, and more. These perks can make your cruise more enjoyable and cost-effective, particularly if you're planning to take advantage of these offerings.

Finally, the comfort and relaxation that a suite offers can enhance your overall cruise experience, allowing you to fully enjoy your time on the ship, unwind in your private space, and create lasting memories.

Family Cruises

For families wanting to enjoy memorable travel experiences together, but would prefer not to be part of the hustle and bustle of the busiest parts of the ship, our Big Ship Luxury partners offer luxurious cruise holidays with all the added benefits for each generation to enjoy.

Ultra-luxury cruise ships often don’t cater well to young children, so holidaying on a bigger, more ‘mainstream’ ship gives children the opportunity to join kids clubs and be looked after by a dedicated team of entertainers on board.

Meanwhile, the older generations of the family can retreat to their own private and exclusive area of the ship for the luxurious, peaceful experience they might be craving. Rather than fighting for a sunbed by the public swimming pools, head up to the exclusive adults-only pool area or reserve a table at a speciality restaurant on board. The beauty of a bigger ship is that there are even more dining establishments on board, so you have more areas to choose from throughout your holiday.

This level of convenience and accessibility are major selling points of multi-generational cruising. Once you step aboard a cruise ship, everything you need is conveniently within reach. This minimises the hassle of planning and execution, as all your essentials, from full-board dining options to exclusive entertainment and luxury accommodations, are easily accessible.

This is particularly beneficial for families with members of varying ages, as it ensures that everyone can participate in various activities without the need for extensive travel between locations.

Connect with the family on a deeper level with multi-generational cruises aboard some of the biggest and most impressive ships in the world. Enjoy all the facilities and amenities of a big ship while soaking up the elegant atmosphere of the exclusive luxury retreats on board throughout your 'Big Ship Luxury' experience.
