Luxury cruises have definitely many lovers as well as others who just hate them. The ones who claim to hate them haven’t necessarily tried one and their have a rather stereotypical opinion. Because the industry was created and reached its heyday during the first half of the twentieth century that doesn’t mean that they belong to the past. Names such as the Titanic or the Britannic sound mythical for today’s standards but up to this day there are great boats all around the world. Most of them had a tragic end and that is that thrilled many people and made those boats mythical.

Watching the Titanic when I was still a teenager I was amazed by the size, wealth and all that incredible amount of money spent for the construction of a luxurious boat, which was meant to be unsinkable. My aunties who were living in the US, were coming to Europe every year on a cruise boat, not because it they were cheap but because they were afraid of planes. They could be talking for hours and hours about incidents that took place in the Atlantic and about those great people they met on board.

The romance, is a large part of the reason that luxury cruises appeal to so many people. After so many Hollywood made cruise films it seems extraordinary if anyone will ever get in a cruise without falling in love with that beautiful and aristocratic man/woman. At the same time I knew that my budget wouldn’t make it very possible to try any of those 5 star cruises my relatives were talking about. They seemed so happy each time they were talking about those unforgettable Silver Sea cruises or about some Oceania cruises that were always leaving me indifferent.

My mind changed completely after I had the chance to experience one cruise with my family. It didn’t stop there though and since then I’ve been in a cruise 3 more times.
