The 7 Levels of Cruise Ships Explained
The 7 Levels of Cruise Ships Explained From budget Caribbean cruises to private ships where some people live full-time… this is how the cruise industry actually works. Most people think a cruise ship is just a way to get to a beach destination. A floating hotel that takes you somewhere warm for a week. But the deeper you go into this industry, the more the product changes. At the lowest level, you are sharing buffet lines, pool decks and crowded spaces with thousands of passengers. At the highest level, people own multi-million-dollar residences at sea — living permanently on ships that move from country to country all year long. In this video, we break down: • Budget and mass-market cruise ships • Premium and luxury cruise lines • Expedition vessels sailing to Antarctica • Private residential cruise ships • How cruise ships evolved into floating cities This is not a ranking based on price. It is a breakdown of the seven levels of cruising — from crowded vacation ships to a lifestyle most people do not even realize exists.
