World's Best Cruise Ships
What’s the hottest sail on the seven seas? Say ahoy to the best cruise ships, as picked byTravel + Leisure readers.
From January 2014By Jane WooldridgeAppeared as "World's Best Ships" in T+L Magazine
Even identical twins have different personalities, and so it is with twin 122,000-ton cruise ships. You may deck them out the same, they may hit the same ports, but slight tweaks to layout, amenities, and crew—even the entertainment choices and talking heads—add up to an ambience unique to each ship. And as the number of ocean cruising and river ships has grown well into the hundreds, those differences are important to passengers. (Nobody wants to accidentally pick the evil twin.)
In this year’s annual World’s Best survey, T+L readers voted on staterooms, restaurants, itineraries, service, excursions, and onboard activities. The results: even within beloved cruise lines, readers were more passionate about specific ships when it came to their favorite five.
For instance, in the Mega Ship group—ocean liners holding more than 2,200 passengers—three of Celebrity Cruises’s Solstice-class ships made the cut, but they didn’t sweep it with all five. Disney Fantasy (No. 2) andEmerald Princess (No. 5) held their own, even if their line’s sister ships missed the list altogether. The oceangoing Large Ship (600 to 2,199 passengers) and Small Ship (under 600 passengers) categories, as well as River Ships, saw similar splitting of hairs and high-thread-count sheets.
But whether it be a floating city or a souped-up luxury skiff, if you’re looking to go cruising, you can’t go wrong by choosing one of the world’s best cruise ships. Anchors aweigh!
