Premium Cruise Lines: The Best Cruise Deals On Cruise Vacations for More Discerning Travelers 

Between the large mainstream cruise lines and the upper-tier luxury cruise lines are several premium cruise lines that cater to more discerning travelers, and often feature fewer passengers, sophisticated dining experiences and more refined service. A premium cruise might be compared with a Fairmont, or a fine Hyatt or Westin resort. On a number of these cruise vactions, we offer our own exclusive cruise deals.

Some premium cruise lines are also attractive to experienced travelers because they generally don't offer mega-size cruise ships, but specialize in smaller ships or mid-size vessels. These premium and upper-premium cruise lines include Celebrity Cruises, Disney Cruise Line, and Holland America Line in the larger ship category, and Windstar,  Azamara Cruises and Oceania Cruises in the small upper-premium ship category. In the European river cruises category, Uniworld and AMAWaterways are a good fit here.
