Oh, to live in the lap of luxury! Luxurious cruise ships are really a fairly recent phenomenon in the cruise industry. Sure, the early ocean liners of the 1920s and 1930s were luxurious, but when we talk pureopulence, today’s luxury cruise fleet has them all beat hands-down.The luxury cruise market is earmarked by spacious cabins with oceanfront verandahs, 5-star cuisine, superb service, wonderfulentertainment, and a touch of class all its own. It is interesting to notethat the luxury cruise ship fleet accounts for almost 6% of all berthssailing in the CLIA berth inventory. What is really remarkable is thathe value of the luxury cruise inventory generates almost 20% of thetotal berth value of the CLIA fleet. This makes for an interesting marketopportunity for those agents promoting the luxury and world cruise markets.Typically, ships in the luxury market tend to be smaller than those inthe mass-market which makes for a more personalized and intimateexperience. Theyprovidea much more favorable passenger to crewratio that equates into highly attentive, individualized service, andthey also have passenger space ratios much higher than the massmarketcruise ships because of their spacious cabinsandpublicareas.Luxury passengers tend to demand ports more exotic thanthose offered by the mass-market cruise lines. Sophisticated and discerning clients are drawn to cruises that ply the world’s oceans
sailing on the most interesting, diverse and exotic itineraries andappreciate the exceptional service onboard these luxury vessels. These satisfied passengers tend to reward the cruise lines with a high level of repeat business.A relatively new phenomena is the development of the “Premium Plus” market. This niche was created by the bankruptcy ofRenaissance Cruise Lines. The former Renaissance CEO acquired 3of the R-class ships and started a premium plus line called OceaniaCruises. When Celebrity Cruise Lines acquired Pulmantour it also acquired two of the R-class ships and created the premium plusbrand called Azamara Cruises.
