The  Caribbean is a classic choice for honeymooners looking for idyllic beaches and crystal-clear waters coupled with an infectious laid-back atmosphere. For couples after something a little more adventurous on their honeymoon cruise then a  Galapagos cruise  is a great option, full of wildlife and jaw-dropping scenery.  European  cruises are perfect for a variation of destinations including the  Mediterranean , Scandinavia and the Baltics.

Unique Shore Excursions Tailored for Couples

The best cruise lines arrange one-of-a-kind shore tours specifically for couples, allowing them to explore breathtaking vistas, partake in local cultures, and create unforgettable memories together. Imagine walking hand-in-hand through ancient ruins, sharing a traditional meal in a quaint coastal village, or even experiencing a thrilling adventure like zip-lining through rainforests together. These unique activities aren’t just trips on land; they’re shared narratives that’ll enrich your love story.

Romantic Onboard Amenities

Beyond the standard offerings, exceptional cruise lines provide amenities that turn up the romance dial. Consider options for private dinners under the stars , exclusive to honeymooners, where you can enjoy gourmet meals while surrounded by the ocean’s gentle breeze and the moon’s soft glow. Look for cruise lines offering couples’ spa treatments, allowing you and your partner to unwind and bask in relaxation together.

Romantic Packages

Many cruise lines offer romantic packages that take an ordinary trip and make it extraordinary. These could include surprises like roses and sparkling wine waiting in your room upon arrival, cabin breakfasts for a lazy, cozy morning together, or even romantic dinners at the captain’s table. Some packages also provide professional photo sessions, capturing your moments against the stunning backdrop of the sea or a picturesque port.

Intimate Settings

While huge cruise ships have their allure, smaller, more intimate ships often cater better to a romantic atmosphere. Fewer passengers mean more privacy and personalized attention. The ambiance tends to be quieter, and more relaxed, perfect for couples wanting to escape the bustle.

Adults-Only Options

For honeymooners seeking tranquility away from the pitter-patter of little feet, adults-only cruises or adults-only sections within a cruise ship can be ideal. These settings ensure that the onboard atmosphere stays serene and conducive to romantic connections. Some cruise lines, like Virgin Voyages, even offer an adults-only solarium for ultimate peace.

Enriching Activities for Two

Engaging in activities together can strengthen bonds. Select cruises offer classes like cooking, dancing , or wine-tasting, encouraging couples to learn and grow together. Whether it’s stargazing from the deck or attending a live show, shared experiences foster deeper connections.

Customized Experiences

The ability to customize is a luxury. From choosing your onboard luxuries to planning shore tours, having the option to tailor your experience means your honeymoon is uniquely yours, resonating with your personal love story.

Extended Stays and Overnights in Port Cities

Some cruise lines offer extended stays in ports, allowing couples to explore and experience destinations more deeply than a few hurried hours. Overnight stays offer a taste of the local nightlife and the opportunity for unexpected adventures.

Make Reservations

As your departure date approaches, you’ll want to make reservations. From specialty restaurants to spa treatments, don’t leave things to chance. Book in advance to avoid the heartache of missed opportunities. Secure a table for two at that fancy onboard restaurant or ensure you have a spot for a couples massage. These shared experiences will only enrich your journey.

Enhance the Romance

Speaking of enriching your journey, remember to enhance the romance! Sure, the cruise itself is romantic, but adding little extras can amplify the love tenfold. Order breakfast in bed , schedule a surprise delivery of chocolate-covered strawberries, or even arrange for a vow renewal ceremony onboard. It’s these personal touches that transform great trips into unforgettable experiences.

Get the Perfect Picture

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so ensure you get the perfect picture. Whether it’s a selfie during golden hour or a professional photoshoot arranged by the cruise line, document your love . These photos will be a gateway back to this time of unbridled joy.

Explore the Ship

During your voyage, take time to explore the ship. Each cruise ship is a world unto itself, offering a plethora of activities and hidden corners to discover. From art galleries to dance floors, from climbing walls to quiet libraries, make the most of what’s on offer. After all, the ship is not just transportation; it’s part of the destination.

Packing Essentials

In the spirit of practicality, let’s touch on packing essentials for couples . Pack smart – bring attire for formal nights, swimsuits for the pool, and comfortable gear for excursions. But also remember the extras that escalate fun – think matching outfits or sexy ensembles that make your partner’s heart race.

In conclusion, planning your honeymoon cruise is undeniably about balancing logistics with romance. It’s crucial to consider your personal interests, the activities you both desire, and, of course, your budget. Yet, amidst all the planning, never lose sight of the heart of this journey: celebrating your union.

Choose a honeymoon experience that you’ll not just enjoy, but one you’ll remember for a lifetime . After all, this is more than a holiday; it’s the maiden voyage of your lifelong journey together. So, set your sights on the horizon, and embark on an adventure that mirrors the magnificence of your love.

Everything You Need to Know About Booking a Honeymoon Cruise

Here's what to consider when honeymooning on the water, according to travel experts.

By the time you’ve finalized your wedding’s guest list, figured out your menu, and fronted all your deposits, you may not really have the energy or brain power to plan all the details of a honeymoon vacation. Some couples may find it most relaxing to choose something uncomplicated, where the itinerary is already booked for you—like a romantic cruise. “The last thing most couples want to do is coordinate a complicated honeymoon after planning a wedding,” shares Karen Thomas, senior director of brand marketing and external communications at Seabourn , a luxury cruise line. “A cruise makes things easy as your accommodations, meals, activities, and entertainment are all taken care of with a few clicks of a keyboard or a phone call to a travel agent who can help plan your trip.” 

In addition to that, couples can look forward to getting a significant amount of sightseeing in while maintaining one home base (no hotel hopping, no packing up your bags every few days). “There’s something to be said about never having to worry about travel hassles like getting from Point A to Point B, or how to decipher train schedules in another language—an excellent first married fight said no one ever!” says Dianna Rom, Vice President of Sales for Windstar Cruises . “Plus, you won’t have to waste any time checking in and out of hotels and you don’t need to unpack and pack a suitcase multiple times.”

Not only will the consistent home base provide that sense of home-away-from-home, but couples will truly have their pick of romantic destinations when choosing the best cruise line for their ideal vacation. Some dreamy examples: A Uniworld French river cruise begins in Paris, then takes guests through the French countryside to explore chateaus, the gardens of Monet, and D-Day’s Normandy beaches. Windstar sails to some of the world’s most romantic places, including Tahiti and the Tuamotu/Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific, while Virgin Voyages offers honeymooners amorous journeys from Tuscany to Ibiza. And there are a lot more.

Sounds downright dreamy, right? Ahead, find advice from travel experts about how to navigate booking the honeymoon cruise of a lifetime, from choosing a destination and cruise line to considering things like budget, adults-only experiences, and more.

Meet the Expert

  • Karen Thomas is the senior director of brand marketing and external communications at Seabourn , a luxury cruise line.
  • Brad Ball is a media spokesperson for Silversea cruises.
  • Dianna Rom is the vice president of sales for Windstar Cruises .
  • Kara Bebell is a honeymoon and destination wedding expert at Travel Siblings , a Virtuoso Agency in New York, New York.
  • Farah Barhorst is the senior manager of guest experience and product development for Holland America .

Evaluate Your Budget and Look for Honeymoon Package Options

If you spent an arm and a leg on a once-in-a-lifetime dress or a 10-piece band for your wedding, it’s understandable why spending a lot of money for a honeymoon could have you feeling uneasy. Yet, except for miscellaneous on-board charges or items you may purchase in port areas, there typically aren't many unexpected costs or add-ons to worry about when taking a cruise (translation: no surprise credit card charges once you return from your honeymoon). “That’s the beauty of door-to-door fares that include everything from flights, transfers, food and beverage, tipping, WiFi, on-board entertainment, and shore excursions,” says Brad Ball, a Silversea cruise spokesperson.

Many cruise lines also promote specific honeymoon-inclusive romance packages: On Norwegian Cruise Line , newlyweds can celebrate their nuptials with in-room treats such as breakfast in bed, couples' massages, and chocolate-covered strawberries. Holland America Line offers extras like a dozen red roses and complimentary robes, and on Aqua Expeditions , honeymooners are presented with a heart-shaped chocolate cake and a bottle of champagne along with a bed sprinkled with flower petals. Silversea’s butlers can create any romantic experience a couple may desire, including an in-room private dinner and aromatherapy bath.

Consider Booking an Adults-Only Cruise

If kids running around a pool for hours isn’t your idea of a romantic or relaxing honeymoon, consider an adults-only cruise line, like Viking or Virgin Voyages , where guests need to be at least 18 years of age to sail. Or, one that provides an adult-only private area on the ship, like Celebrity Retreat and Norwegian’s The Haven , where guests have exclusive access to concierges, sundecks, restaurants, and lounges ( Royal Caribbean , Princess Cruises , and Holland America Line also promote cruise-within-a-cruise offerings). Azamara and Oceania Cruises accept guests of any age, but they discourage families from sailing with children under 18 years old as they don’t offer children’s or babysitting services. If you do honeymoon on a ship that allows kids: “Try to avoid holiday sailings,” advises Kara Bebell, a honeymoon and destination wedding expert at Travel Siblings , a Virtuoso Agency in New York, New York.

Look at the Cuisine Offerings and Chef-Owned Restaurants

One of the best parts of honeymooning is getting the chance to indulge in delicious and elevated meals with your new spouse—and if you're a foodie couple, some cruises are really tailored toward specialty dining experiences, so consider that element when choosing a cruise line and itinerary. Many of the cruise menus found on ships have been designed by the world’s leading chefs: On Celebrity Beyond , guests can enjoy meals at Le Voyage, Daniel Boulud’s 45-seat restaurant at sea. On Aqua Expedition’s Aqua Mekong , an immersive cultural journey is inspired by Michelin-starred chef David Thompson. Oceania has meals curated by celebrity chef Jacques Pepin and Ponant and Holland America Line’s menus have been designed by James Beard Award winners, Alain Ducasse and David Burke, respectively. The Chef’s Table on Viking (where sommeliers and culinary masters create the perfect pairing of food and wine during a multi-course tasting) and S.A.L.T. (an immersive culinary concept that brings authenticity to Silversea’s cuisine through locally sourced products, market trips, and visiting chef demonstrations) are just two examples of unique oceanic-based food programs. Looking to eat healthy? Lines such as Windstar are debuting gluten-free, vegan menus with no added salt or oil in addition to their existing omnivore and vegetarian options.

Think About How Adventurous You Want to Be

“Couples can choose what type of lifestyle they’d like to adapt once on board—starting their day with breakfast in bed as they watch the coastline pass or on an adventurous excursion. Or both!” says Farah Barhorst, the senior manager of guest experience and product development for Holland America. For couples who equate fun with adventure , expedition ships in far-flung places like the Antarctic or those closer to home in the Great Lakes and Canada bring excitement to the seas. On Viking, you can cruise to all three of these regions with opportunities to hike the land and learn about wildlife or dive beneath the ocean’s surface in one of their expedition ship’s submarines. On Seabourn Venture, couples can celebrate in Antarctica and the Arctic alongside a 26-person onboard expedition team made up of naturalists, historians, and scientists. 

But expedition ships aren’t the only place you’ll find fun. From helicoptering over glaciers in Alaska, zip-lining through Costa Rican jungles, hiking a volcano in Iceland, or navigating a quad bike in Australia, Holland America Line offers a bounty of options for honeymooners looking for unique adventures. And on Norwegian Cruise Line’s sailing to Hawaii , honeymooners will find an array of romantic excursions from snorkeling with turtles in Molokini Crater to watching a sunset from above the clouds on the top of Summit Haleakala.

However, if you’re simply exhausted after all the wedding madness or don’t have the energy for sightseeing and would rather stay on the ship and luxuriate, you can absolutely do that too. Today’s cruise lines provide plenty of on-site offerings from cooking and photography classes to wine tasting to talks with famous guest lecturers to keep you busy.

Research Romantic Activities Offered Aboard the Ship

There’s nothing more romantic than looking up at the stars , your new spouse’s arms wrapped around your waist. Many cruise lines have tapped into that moment by offering nighttime programs such as Celebrity’s Glamping and Stargazing in the Galapagos , which starts with a dinner featuring campfire-themed treats and cocktails, followed by a naturalist-guided stargazing session under the stars and an overnight in a cabana. On SeaDream’s fleet of yachts, you can camp out overnight on a Balinese bed, while honeymooners on two of Lindblad Expeditions' National Geographic ships gather around a deckside fire pit and sleep overnight in igloos that come with a mattress and a duvet warmed by hot water bottles.

If you prefer to stay in your room, a butler will arrange a dinner on your veranda that includes cozy blankets, candles, and a heater as you look out at the glacial landscape on Silversea in the Antarctic, while Virgin Voyages has placed custom-designed hammocks, handwoven by artisans from Yellow Leaf (a social enterprise that fosters women's empowerment in rural Thailand) on all their terraces (their rooms also feature mood lighting that reflects the blue seas and gold to purple sunsets outside).

Unwind Post-Wedding by Booking Wellness Experiences

For honeymooners looking to recharge after months of stressful wedding planning , a relaxing spa-at-sea experience is just another reason to book a cruise—and you may want to consider booking these experiences within the first days of cruising so that you can unwind right away.

From seaweed wraps to acupuncture to meditation and yoga classes, treatments on cruise ships rival any you’d find on land. On Norwegian, guests can soak in a flotation salt pool and experience the industry’s only charcoal sauna to help remove toxins from the body and on Seabourn, integrative medicine expert Dr. Andrew Weil has created a program that integrates physical, environmental, and spiritual well-being.

More good news: Access to these services is free of charge on many cruise lines, like the Scandinavian-style facilities on Viking (think: A snow grotto and heated loungers) or a 60-minute couples massage on two of Aqua Expeditions ships. And if you’re looking to relax in your suite, honeymooners can almost always request complimentary in-room offerings like yoga mats and meditation pillows on ships like Celebrity.

Silversea Cruises – Spacious Luxury

Silversea is one of the world’s top luxury cruise lines, which becomes evident when looking at the design and layouts of its ships . The capacity of Silversea ships varies from 50 to just over 300, not even close to the multi-thousand-passenger ships of other cruise lines.

9 Reasons Why Cruises Are Perfect for Honeymoons

If you’re wondering if going on a cruise for your honeymoon is a good idea, the following reasons to go on a honeymoon cruise will certainly take away any doubts you may have.

1. No Stress

A honeymoon should be all about winding down after a hectic few weeks (or months) before your wedding. After the “I dos”, the cake-cutting, the hand-shaking and the party, it’s time for you to destress and unwind.

One of the best reasons to go on a honeymoon cruise is that this is one of the most stress-free ways of traveling. Everything’s available on board, from entertainment to spa treatments, from fine dining to activities. And the beauty of all of this is that nearly everything is included in the price.

If you plan well—another aspect of the wedding planning process is actually planning a honeymoon—, there will be no need to pay for anything at all during your time aboard the ship. This makes it easy to budget your honeymoon, eliminating the need to check your bank account balances during your trip. No stress, indeed!

2. Multiple Destinations

Many people choose to visit one particular destination or region on their honeymoon. Paris, Venice, Bali, Hawaii,… we all know the classic romantic and/or beach destinations. However, what sets a honeymoon cruise apart from all other honeymoon is that it offers you the chance to visit multiple destinations, conveniently and easily.

Whether you’re cruising the Mediterranean, the South Pacific or the Caribbean , essentially all modern cruise ships call at various different ports. This results in the perfect combination of onboard relaxation and onshore exploration. A honeymoon cruise offers both cultural immersion in multiple cities and sunbathing by the pool. Again, there’s zero stress involved here.

3. No Need to Keep Packing/Unpacking

This may be rather obvious, but it’s also worth reminding you of. On a cruise, while you’re visiting several awesome places, you will only have to unpack and pack once .

From the moment you’re settled in your cabin or suite, it will be your home for the rest of the cruise. It’ll be a cozy retreat and a welcome refuge, a place to relax and a place of romance. A honeymoon cruise allows you to basically stay in the same place, while visiting different places.

4. Food’s Included

Many cruise lines offer all-inclusive programs. This means that pretty much everything is included in the price. This includes onshore excursions, nightly entertainment, onboard activities and all food. If you do some research, you can also find cruises where alcohol is included as well.

This makes cruises one of the most economic types of honeymoons you can possibly have. It greatly reduces, if not eliminates, your expenses during the entire trip. Note, though, that some onboard features, such as many spa treatments and Internet access, and most independent onshore activities aren’t included in the price. Tips usually aren’t either.

5. All Kinds of Activities

It’s impossible to get bored on a cruise ship. It just can’t be done. Nowadays, these floating cities feature an overwhelming selection of amenities and offer countless activities. On the ship, you can visit a movie theater, catch a theater performance, go swimming, enjoy world-class cuisine, work out at the gym, relax in a park-like environment, grab a cup of coffee at a waterfront café,… The list goes on and on and on. It’s literally like staying in a town.

Many of the largest cruise ships have things like water parks and slides, zip lines and rock climbing walls, skydiving simulators, lush gardens and even moving platforms that change from breakfast place in the morning to party hotspot in the evening.

6. Room Service

You’re newlyweds and you’ll probably spend quite a lot of time in your room—let’s be honest. So, one of the greatest reasons to go on an honeymoon cruise is the 24/7 room service.

There’s no need to leave your room if you don’t want to. You could spend literally the entire day in there. If you get hungry, you simply call room service. Both food and delivery are included in the price. Gratuity, however, is recommended. How convenient is that?

7. Couples Massages

A couples massage may be one of the greatest and most romantic ways to relax after the wedding. Doing this on your first day aboard the ship is a wonderful way to kick off your honeymoon. It’s good to know, though, that you have to pay extra for these kinds of treatments as they’re probably not included in the all-inclusive program.

8. Limitless Date Night Options

One of the most fun things to do as a couple is date nights, no question about that. During a honeymoon cruise, you’ll have a plethora of options.

While cruises are mainly about relaxation and fun, they can also be packed with action and activities. You make them what you want them to be. There’s so much to do in the evening that you’ll have difficulty choosing what to do. Besides romantic dinners and cocktails in the bars, there are magic shows, movie screenings, live music performances, stand-up comedy shows and live theater. And all of it is free!

9. Disconnection

A honeymoon should be about you two, and you two only. Cruises often have no, or at best weak, cell phone reception, while Wi-Fi is usually pretty expensive. This does not need to be a bad thing, though, rather the contrary.

Not being able to easily connect with the rest of the online world allows you to be in the moment with your significant other. There will be no distractions. One of the best reasons to go on a honeymoon cruise is that it’s arguably the only way of honeymooning that forces you to “unplug”. This, of course, focuses all of your attention on the other, which is a pretty great thing.

Cunard cabins and suites guide: Everything you need to know

Ashley Kosciolek

In its more than 180-year history, Cunard Line has evolved from offering essential transatlantic transportation to leisure travel. Its current fleet offers several classes of cabins with plush furnishings and modern comforts that still evoke nautical ocean-liner style. Although the options might seem confusing at first, they're fairly easy to understand once broken down.

Across inside, outside, balcony and suite categories, Cunard offers four accommodation classes, each with its own dining room. Regardless of cabin type, passengers have access to the same public areas — including pools and sun decks, gyms, theaters and spas. Although, some categories do have their own lounges and outdoor spaces.

Here, we'll go through the types of cabins available and what they include in the way of amenities, square footage and dining experiences.

For more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

Cabin square footage varies by ship and location on the ship. Cabin configurations also vary by vessel. Multiple configurations can exist within the same cabin type, which accounts for differences in square footage. Accessible cabins are larger than standard cabins, and those measurements are included in the ranges given. Contact your travel agent or cruise line representative for specific details before booking.

Cunard cabin primer

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Cunard ships feature four main categories of cabins: inside (no window or balcony), outside (a window or porthole), balcony (with a small, semi-private outdoor space) and suites. They fall into four experience tiers — Britannia, Britannia Club, Princess Grill and Queens Grill — each with different perks, inclusions and dining assignments. (See below for more details, or check out Cunard's amenity comparison chart .)

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Britannia cabins come only in inside, outside and basic balcony categories, while Britannia Club rooms are available only in the balcony category. The latter rooms are a step up from basic Britannia balcony accommodations. Cruisers booked in these categories will be assigned to either the Britannia Dining Room or Britannia Club Restaurant, respectively.

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Passengers wanting an elevated experience — complete with more space, lots of added perks and more expensively outfitted accommodations — will want to look to the Princess Grill Suites and Queens Grill Suites. Standard rooms feel more like any cabin on a mass-market vessel, while Grill accommodations are outfitted with more elegant furnishings, richer colors (think regal hues like purples and reds), and more plush linens and furniture.

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Depending on the suite booked, you'll find walk-in closets, separate living and sleeping areas, and bathrooms with higher-quality amenities (such as marble countertops and mirrors with built-in makeup lights). These rooms provide access to either the Princess Grill Restaurant or Queens Grill Restaurant, as well as the Grills Lounge, which is exclusive to travelers staying in suites.

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Cunard offers a variety of accessible rooms in all cabin categories, from inside cabins to suites. They are designed for passengers who use wheelchairs, walkers, scooters and other mobility devices or who otherwise require features like wider doorways, flush zero-entry thresholds, extra square footage for maneuvering, and wet bath-style bathrooms with grab bars and pull-down shower seats. (You can find more accessibility specifics on Cunard's website.)

Cunard was one of the first cruise lines to offer accommodations for one — something that has become standard on many cruise lines' newest vessels. You'll find a selection of solo cabins in inside and ocean-view categories under the Britannia experience if you're traveling alone and don't want to pay a single supplement. The former range from 152 to 243 square feet; the latter come in between 133 and 201 square feet.

All rooms, no matter the category or type, feature rich furnishings in nautical colors like bright blue, sunny yellow and deep red. Each room provides passengers with a king-size bed that can be converted into two singles on request; bedside tables with lamps; a vanity area with a desk, chair, mirror and both 220-volt U.K.-style outlets and 110-volt North American-style ones ( Queen Anne also has USB ports); a closet and drawers for storing personal items; a TV, safe, hair dryer, phone, refrigerator, minibar and tea- and coffee-making facilities; bathrobes and slippers; and an in-cabin bathroom with a shower and Penhaligon toiletries.

Each cabin also includes 24-hour room service options and the daily services of a room steward who will clean up and provide you with any items — like ice, extra towels and the daily activity schedule — you might need. More expensive cabins come with additional or upgraded amenities, extra space and more furniture. Details about inclusions, square footage and more can be found below.

Inside cabins on Cunard ships

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Britannia insides range from 152 to 243 square feet and include all of the amenities listed above, plus a half-bottle of sparkling wine at embarkation. Passengers booked in these cabins are assigned to eat in the Britannia Dining Room, which is basically a standard cruise ship main dining room but with ornate art deco touches.

On Queen Mary 2 — known for its iconic transatlantic voyages between New York City and Southampton in the U.K. — cruisers can also choose from special inside cabins that overlook the ship's atrium.

Outside cabins on Cunard ships

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Britannia ocean-view rooms provide between 133 and 201 square feet of space. Passengers in these cabins also take meals in the Britannia Dining Room.

Outside cabins include the same amenities as inside ones. The most obvious difference is that you'll have a window to look at the ocean as you sail.

Balcony cabins on Cunard ships

Britannia balconies.

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Ranging from 228 to 472 square feet, these cabins feature the same general furnishing style as insides and outsides but with semi-private balconies. These balconies offer passengers their own outdoor space, where they can enjoy fresh air from the comfort of their room, complete with chairs and a table.

These accommodations include the standard amenities listed above and dinner in the Britannia Dining Room. On Queen Mary 2, passengers can select cove-style balconies; they offer a bit of shelter from the wind since they're more akin to an enclosed pod with an open window than a balcony open on all sides.

Britannia Club balconies

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Britannia Club rooms, a step up from Cunard's Britannia balcony accommodations, come in the balcony category only. In addition to slightly more square footage (248-470 feet), they include additional amenities.

All previously mentioned features come with these cabins. They also include upgraded tea and coffee makers, a pillow menu, velour bathrobes, a full bottle of sparkling wine at embarkation, daily fresh fruit on request, and priority embarkation and disembarkation. Cruisers booked there can dine in the Britannia Club Restaurant, which is a bit more understated and refined than the Britannia Restaurant but offers similar food.

Suites on Cunard ships

Princess grill suites.

cruise ship honeymoon suite

Princess Grill Suites are the first-tier of suites on Cunard ships; they offer access to an exclusive restaurant, Princess Grill, featuring elevated food options. Guests can also order menu items from the Grill via room service and order off-menu in the restaurant with advance notice. Passengers in Princess Grill Suites share a dedicated Grills Lounge or Concierge Lounge (found on Queen Mary 2) and sun deck with passengers booked in Queens Grill suites (see below).

The 335- to 513-square-foot Princess Grill Suites feature separate living and sleeping areas and private balconies. Passengers can enjoy all above-mentioned inclusions, plus elevated perks like an in-cabin atlas, dedicated concierge service, sparkling wine and chocolates at embarkation, complimentary spring water, afternoon tea in the Grills Lounge, and a bathroom with a bathtub and a shower. (Note that bathtubs aren't available at the Princess Grill level on Queen Anne.)

Queens Grill Suites

cruise ship honeymoon suite

The most lavish rooms on board Cunard's vessels are the Queens Grill Suites, featuring 484 to 2,249 square feet of space. They come with all of the above perks, plus additional in-cabin books, binoculars for use on board, fresh flowers, complimentary minibar items, a bottle of Champagne and chocolates at embarkation, and priority tendering where applicable. (Note that Queen Anne offers bathrooms with tubs and showers at the Queens Grill level.)

Passengers booked in these accommodations have access to the Queens Grill Restaurant in addition to the shared spaces — Grills Lounge, Concierge Lounge (where available) and sun deck — that cruisers booked in Princess Grill Suites also can use. Each suite's butler will deliver in-cabin canapes daily prior to dinner.

Queens Grill Suites are impressive, especially the duplex-style suites found only on Queen Mary 2. Three 1,566-square-foot Duplex Apartments (Windsor, Buckingham and Holyrood) and two 2,249-square-foot Grand Duplex Apartments (Balmoral and Sandringham) are all the way aft on decks 9 and 10. These accommodations — some of which are larger than land-based apartments — offer stunning wake views via two-story windows.

Bottom line

Although Cunard's cabin experience types might seem confusing at first, they're fairly straightforward. The relatively small number of cabin types and categories makes the booking process easier to navigate while still offering enough variety to cater to many tastes and budgets.

Whether you choose to sail in a basic Britannia inside cabin or the most swanky Queens Grill Suite, you're sure to enjoy Cunard's upscale nautical vibe.
