——Sketch of life on a luxury cruise ship

We have always longed for the life on a cruise ship in "Titanic".

In fact, each cruise ship has a different experience. Just as different airlines provide meals and blankets, the taste and type must be different.

Due to limited space, we seek common ground while reserving differences. We will sail on Royal Caribbean Cruises’ Millennium cruise ship, Star Cruises’ StarVirgo cruise ship, Costa Cruises’ Elegant cruise ship, and Victoria Cruises’ cruise ship. The experiences of those who have experienced luxury cruises to the Norwegian fjords from Beijing Cruise Lines have been gathered together to draw a clearer outline for your cruise dream.

Boarding Ceremony

Compared with planes or trains, cruise ships undoubtedly provide more leeway. You can carry a full set of LV suitcases on top of the luxury cruise ship. You can even move in your own mobile sauna!

Don’t worry about being overburdened. As soon as you get on board, uniformed waiters will carry your luggage: “Don’t worry about getting your luggage mixed up, they will be waiting for you at your cabin door.”

Almost all cruise ships have unique welcome gifts, and some are quite personalized. For example, a "one-eyed dragon" dressed as a Pirates of the Caribbean will hug and take photos with beautiful women. HIGH, from the moment we board the ship.

Food is more beautiful than beautiful women

Eating has evolved into a grand performance on the cruise ship. Every cruise ship, especially long-haul cruises, will use the dining table as the most straightforward showpiece. The food is so rich that it almost makes you feel guilty. Depending on the route, you will be able to taste unique delicacies, from Southeast Asian Singaporean flavors to Italian-style meals. Some ships even hire chefs with "Michelin" star titles to show off their skills. Because all meals are included in the ticket, no matter where you go to eat, it is free, which gives you a sense of abundance and happiness.

If you are still a believer in the "three meals a day" doctrine, then a cruise will completely change your beliefs. Life here is almost completely connected by "eating": breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper, often interspersed with cooking performances or cocktail parties - your appetite is unprecedentedly satisfied, and you may find yourself when you get off the ship My taste buds have become picky, but my stomach has become more tolerant.

Of course, clothing must be coordinated with the grandeur of the meal. Generally speaking, you must wear formal attire for dinner, a small dress for a cocktail party, and elegant casual clothes for afternoon tea. This corresponds to the cumbersome luggage. place to go.

Entertainment, 24 hours a day

Luxury cruise ships generally have very rich entertainment activities, including theaters, karaoke rooms, bars, shops, swimming pools, restaurants, basketball courts, and reading rooms. Wait, whatever you want. The ship will also arrange a variety of activities to keep you busy, such as song and dance performances or teams. Of course, you can join the group, or you can run to the deck in pairs to perform "Titanic". Moreover, cruise life does not stop forever. The ship will dock at the beautiful scenery along the way, allowing you to go ashore and have fun, completely free. Just don’t forget to return to the dock on time to board the ship.

Now that your enthusiasm is high and everything is ready, how do you get to the "fairy island" you have longed for?

We specially invited an off-site consultant, Mr. Jiang Haitao from China Travel Service Hong Kong, to answer your questions. Since 2000, Mr. Jiang has been promoting cruise tourism.

How to get there?

You can customize your own tickets through the cruise company or agency, or purchase products through major travel agencies. Currently in the Beijing market, many travel agencies such as China National Travel Service, China Travel Service, CYTS MICE, Hong Kong China Travel Service, China Merchants International Travel Service, Caesars, North China Travel Service, Zhongxin, Kanghui, Huayuan, Taihe, etc. all sell different cruise products, interspersed with ordinary tour groups. From a short trip of 1 to 2 days, such as the Nordic fjords, to a Caribbean trip of nearly half a month.

When to book tickets?

Generally speaking, the earlier, the better. Some top cruise ships even need to be booked six months to a year in advance.

How to choose the route and cruise that suits you?

The first is to choose a company. Each cruise ship belongs to a different cruise company. The larger the cruise company's scale and reputation, the more reassuring it is.

The second is to pick a boat. The configuration and tonnage of each cruise ship are different. Most people believe that the larger the tonnage, the stronger the stability and the more comfortable it will be for people on it. In fact, the best cruise ship should be medium-sized, preferably 5 to 7 tons. If the tonnage is too large and there are too many people, it will also make the environment noisy. The higher the configuration, the more luxurious, and of course the more comfortable it is, and the higher the price will naturally be.

The third is to choose a route. The length of the voyage is suitable for various needs, ranging from a one-night high seas journey to a round-the-world journey of more than 100 days. Among them, 3 nights and 4 days to 12 nights and 13 days are the most popular among passengers. A good route not only means unforgettable scenery, but also a safe and smooth voyage. Some routes will pass through areas with strong winds and waves and strong ocean currents, such as the Yokohama area in Japan, a certain sea area near Hong Kong, etc. When choosing these routes, you must make sure that you have a strong "anti-vomiting" index and can continue to do so. Stay optimistic amidst the turmoil.

The fourth is to choose the cabin. General tour groups do not involve the issue of room selection. The whole group stays in the same standard room, but the cabin class on the cruise ship is very important, including deluxe, sea view, business, ordinary and other categories. Being able to see the sea view should be the minimum selection criterion.
