Creator's Key Takeaways
I'm Gary Benbridge and I've been back on all these lines in the last year to see who deserves the crown because they're top of the ultra luxury game right now and who's falling short and why.
Ultra luxury cruising sits at the very top end of the cruising market above resort mass, premium, and the small ship luxury category.
Silver Sea carries the most passengers, as it has the largest fleet, 12 ships, covering both classic and expedition cruising.
Crystal is famed for having the best service at sea, helped by a very long-erving crew who've worked together over many, many years.

Ultra-luxury cruising promises the very best at sea – but which line is truly delivering right now, and which are slipping? I’ve recently been back on Seabourn, Silversea, Regent Seven Seas and Crystal, and in this video I reveal how they really compare today. I put these four head-to-head on: - Fleet + Ship Style - Cabins & Suites - Dining & Culinary Experience - Service Style - Onboard Atmosphere - Itineraries & Destinations - Who Each Line Is Best For - And importantly… Where They Fall Short If you’re considering an ultra-luxury cruise, this will help you avoid costly mistakes and choose the line that best fits your travel style.
