Can anyone recommend which upscale cruie line would be best to sample the "good life".
Normally travel Celebrity but thought that trying a luxury cruise might be fun?
Any recomendations are more than welcome
The cruise would be a European itinerary
Thanks

I would suggest that you look at Conte Nast Traveler. They do yearly polls concerning the best ships.

One of the highest rated ships is the Crystal Symphony. I'd love to go on it. There are smaller ships which are also very nice -- like Seaborne, Silver Cloud.

Their prices are a little high for us.

The choice for a luxury cruise is a bit embarassing.If you love the larger ships choose Crystal Cruises that is famous for the high quality of its international cuisine and service.If you prefer a more intimate and relaxing atmosphere I suggest you to try Seabourn Cruise Line, particularly the yacht ship Pride, Legend and Spirit.Silversea Cruises is with no doubt the top rated cruise company in the world and also the most expansive one.Its cruise product is the best, from the service to the cuisine, from the entertainment to the very large accomodations, many with private balconies.Also Radisson Cruises offers an excellent upscale product, giving you the opportunity to choose between different ships ( the Radisson Diamond is simply fascinating ).For the longer cruises to Europe you should considerate Cunard Line: the Caronia performs exceptional itineraries in this area.Whatever cruise line you will choose, cruising to Europe will be an unforgettable experience.
