Oceans
Classic
These major lines focus on the romance of cruising, destinations, traveling by ship and being at sea. While they all include wonderful dining and live entertainment options, you won't find any theme park elements on any of their ships.
Physical Activities: Options typically include swimming pools, hot tubs, ping pong, basketball, miniature golf, a walking track, shuffle board and other traditional ship activities. Children: All these lines will have some children onboard, but generally smaller numbers due to the lack of amusement park types of activities. All these lines have kids clubs and designated kids-only areas for those between 1 and 17 years old. Itineraries longer than 7 nights tend to decrease the number of children on board. |
Active with the Ship as the Destination
These major lines all include great dining and live entertainment options. Also, many of their ships include theme park elements like waterslides and water parks, ice rinks, rock-climbing walls, surfing simulators, zip lines, ropes courses and go carts.
Children: Ships with theme park and waterpark amenities attract lots of families with children of all ages. Itineraries longer than 7 nights tend to decrease the number of children on board. |

Luxury and Boutique
These premium lines all include amazing dining aboard small, intimate ships with a focus on elevated personalized service and lots of inclusions not found on the major lines. No upselling on board with these lines.
Entertainment: These lines focus on destinations with onboard lectures and locally-sourced and inspired cuisine. You won't find big Broadway production shows, but rather small venues and spaces designed for guest interaction and conversation. Children: These lines tend to have very few children as their itineraries and excursions are history and culture-based. Plus, the premium price point dissuades families with children. Ships do not have any kids' clubs or entertainment for children other than a pool. |
Expedition & Adventure Cruising
Get up close and personal on customized small ships and adventure craft as you explore the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies of our beautiful planet. Many feature custom-built ships with multiple hulls for breaking ice, zodiac shore launches, ATVs, submarines and more.
Destinations: These lines focus on hard-to-reach and uncommon destinations not available with bigger cruise ships. Here are some most popular destinations, but there are so many more:

Rivers
These lines all provide a premium experience on rivers all over the world.
Children: Few children since the price point is premium and many staterooms are capped at a maximum of two passengers. Itineraries and onboard entertainment (or the lack thereof) are geared toward adult interests. |
Cruise Tour: Cruise + Land Tour
All cruise lines offer pre and/or post-cruise land tour options to extend and enhance your journey.
