Regent Seven Seas

The most all-inclusive experience at sea. Gratuities, unlimited premium beverages, specialty dining, and shore excursions — all included. I have sailed with Regent personally for nearly fourteen years. I know which suites justify the upgrade and which ones do not.

Silversea

Ultra-luxury with an expedition soul. Silversea goes where other luxury lines do not — Antarctica, the Arctic, remote corners of the world that few ships can reach. The butler service, the intimacy of the fleet, and the S.A.L.T. culinary programme makes every sailing feel personal.

Oceania

The finest cuisine at sea, genuinely. Oceania built its reputation around the culinary experience and it holds. For the food-focused traveller who wants longer itineraries and more time in port. Oceania is also now officially adults-only, welcoming guests aged 18 and older on all new sailings — making it an ideal choice for travellers who value a serene, child-free environment.

Explora Journeys

The newest addition to my roster. I sail with Explora for the first time later this year — watch this space for my honest review. What I can tell you now is that Explora Journeys is becoming known for excellent food and exceptional service on board. They offer a flexible inclusive experience, with an all-inclusive option available and land-based activities priced separately. It is an exciting, fresh approach to luxury cruising and one I am genuinely looking forward to experiencing firsthand.

Ponant

French elegance, expedition capability, and an intimacy that comes from ships carrying fewer than 250 guests. Ponant goes to places that larger luxury lines simply cannot reach.

Viking

The thinking person's river cruise. Viking built its reputation on destination immersion — included excursions that actually teach you something, and a Scandinavian aesthetic that wears well over a long sailing. I have sailed with Viking personally. Viking is also an adults-only line, welcoming guests aged 18 and older — a policy that reflects the quiet, enrichment-focused atmosphere they are known for.

Uniworld

The most boutique experience on European waterways. Uniworld ships are floating art hotels — no two are alike, every public space designed with museum-quality attention.

AmaWaterways

One of the most flexible river cruise experiences available. Strong for the active traveller and for multigenerational travel where different people want different paces.

Riverside Luxury Cruises

Riverside is pushing the boundaries of what luxury looks like on the water. The result is an exceptionally spacious, elegantly appointed river experience that stands apart from the standard river cruise fleet. For solo travellers, Riverside is an excellent choice. With no single supplement on entry-level cabins, their flexible pricing allows you to include only what makes sense for how you like to travel.

Scenic

Scenic operates at the very top of the river cruise market, with fewer guests on board, butler service across all suites, and an all-inclusive philosophy. Their dining ranges from casual to fine dining, and their innovative design genuinely differentiates them from the rest of the fleet on the river. For the traveller who wants the highest possible service level on a river voyage, Scenic belongs on the shortlist.
