Cruise lines keep making waves in the travel industry. Cruise companies offer numerous luxurious amenities and secret areas, such as spacious suites, modern spas, exotic delicacies, and refreshing cocktails.
From river cruises to ocean adventures and arctic expeditions, cruises allow passengers to dive into the secrets of our world. No matter where you go, however, we should admit that the cruise ship you choose plays a crucial role.
It’s not a secret that vessels come in all shapes and sizes. Small ships are ideal for sea exploration, while huge cruise ships can offer different entertainment venues, either for adults or families with kids. Interestingly, despite the pandemic and the fact that many people are still stuck at sea, many new cruise ships are expected to make a debut in 2020.
Here are 10 major cruise ships ranked (from the most amenities included to none).
