Forget windowless interior cabins. Wealthy cruisers prefer apartment-like suites with butlers, original Pablo Picasso prints, and pillow “menus.”
Travelers have been increasingly spending big on their at-sea vacations — so much so that Four Seasons plans to charge $350,000 a week for its coming ship’s palatial four-floor, 9,975-square-foot suite.
If you, too, have the ultraluxe-cruise itch but don’t want to wait until Four Seasons’ yacht sails in 2026, here are eight other lavish cabin options.
They won’t cost as much as a new house, but they’ll still have deluxe perks like butlers and welcome bottles of bubbly.
Silversea’s Otium Suite
Silversea is known for its all-inclusive luxury cruises. If you want a step above the basics, book the Otium Suite. It’s available on Silver Ray and Silver Nova, starting at $17,000 a person for a weeklong 2025 voyage.
On Silver Ray, the 1,324-square-foot cabin’s balcony is larger than the ship’s smallest suites. More space means more amenities — the outdoor area has a hot tub, lounge chairs, and a dining table.
If you prefer eating inside (perhaps the complimentary caviar delivered by your butler), head to the living room, which has a library, dining table, and stocked bar.
The couch can be converted into a bed. For a cozier slumber, you’ll want the bedroom, which has a walk-in closet and a dual-vanity marble-tiled bathroom.
Royal Caribbean International’s Ultimate Family Townhouse
Icon of the Seas’ 2,523-square-foot Ultimate Family Townhouse is an unconventional take on luxury, designed more for children than adults.
That doesn’t mean it’ll be affordable — two travelers should expect to each pay more than $34,220 for a seven-night voyage in 2025.
Guests can play ping-pong on the white-picket-fence-lined patio. Up the curved staircase, they can lounge in the multipart living room, which includes a hot tub on the balcony and a movie theater lounge with karaoke.
Take the second set of stairs and pass the mesh-floor lounge to find the two bedrooms. The primary room has a private balcony and an en-suite dual-vanity bathroom, while the kids’ room has bunk beds, a couch, and another restroom.
Need to get back to the living room? Take the tube slide down.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Regent Suite
Seven Seas Grandeur’s 4,443-square-foot Regent Suite features two bedrooms and balconies, 2 ½ bathrooms, a parlor, and a living and dining room. It’s also atop the ship’s bow, offering sweeping views.
Expect homelike touches such as walk-in closets, laundry service, and a personalized bar — as well as ultraluxe niceties like a butler, two original Picasso prints, and a variety of sheets and pillows to choose from.
The ship’s spa facilities, including the sauna, are complimentary. But if you prefer a private sweat, the Regent Suite has its own wellness amenities, such as a steam room, a heated mini pool, and complimentary treatments.
At ports, guests receive a personal car and guide. On board, they get priority dining and spa reservations.
In 2025, the all-inclusive Seven Seas Grandeur’s weeklong roundtrip Miami voyages start at $4,500 a person. If you opt for the glitzy Regent Suite, expect to pay $42,000 each (if you can get off the waitlist).
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Owner’s Suite
The 1,754-square-foot Owner’s Suite on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Ilma has plenty of space for entertaining — from the personalized living room bar to the furnished terrace with a hot tub.
Host light bites at the dining table or drinks on the outdoor couch. If guests are spending the night, convert the sofa into a bed.
Keep the bedroom to yourself — there, you’ll have a walk-in closet and a marble bathroom with a bathtub and shower.
In 2025, the all-inclusive suite starts at $36,400 a person for a weeklong voyage.
Disney Cruise Line’s Tomorrow Tower Suite
Disney Treasure’s Epcot-inspired Tomorrow Tower Suite could be the happiest cabin on earth — and starts at about $46,820 a guest for a weeklong sailing for two.
To access the 1,966-square-foot suite, you’ll have to take a private elevator.
Downstairs, the two-story floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the living room, dining table, and bar in light. There, you’ll also find a library turned bedroom.
Head upstairs for the children’s bunk room and two primary sleeping quarters, each with walk-in closets, and the children’s room with a bunk bed.
Don’t fight for the bathroom — the suite has 4 ½ of them, and the two largest have dual sinks, bathtubs, and showers.
Feeling peckish? Grab snacks from the pantry refrigerator and a beverage from the wine cooler. Need help booking the nursery? Call your concierge.
Virgin Voyages’ Massive Suite
Virgin’s aptly named 2,147-square-foot Massive Suite is fit for a rock star — with a music room stocked with electric guitars.
The suite has two circular couches: one in the living room and the other on the terrace.
There’s no need to visit the pool deck when your open-air lounge has a hot tub and hammocks.
Guests can use the bedside tablet to personalize their bedroom’s smart curtains and mood lighting. The en-suite marble bathroom is just as flashy, featuring a bathtub and a separate shower overlooking the bedroom.
The accommodation includes priority reservations, a daily spa pass, and a voucher for some drinks at the bar, though the in-suite bar is bottomless.
Drink up — the Massive Suite starts at $8,540 a person for a weeklong 2025 cruise.
Celebrity Cruises’ Iconic Suite
Expect unobstructed views in Celebrity’s two-bedroom, two-bathroom Iconic Suite. After all, the cabin is perched above the ship’s bridge and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows.
If you don’t mind blocking the primary bedroom’s view, you can lower the ceiling-mounted TV. Its en-suite bathroom is just as luxe, with two vanities, a shower, and a bathtub.
The terrace has a hot tub and plenty of lounge seating, complementing the living room’s sectional and dining table. Guests also have a butler’s pantry and a butler on call to help pack or make dinner reservations.
Expect to pay at least $17,406 a person for a seven-night 2025 cruise.
Seabourn’s Grand Wintergarden Suite
What’s better than one suite? How about two aboard a luxury Seabourn ship?
Seabourn combines its Wintergarden and Veranda cabins into larger two-deck, apartmentlike Grand Wintergarden Suites.
The luxe mansion cabins have a lounge with a dining table, a pantry, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Upstairs, travelers will find another bedroom, with a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a tub and shower.
For a relaxing evening, call your suite host to help draw a bath.
Or grab a glass of whiskey from the pantry bar and use the Swarovski-branded spotting scope for an afternoon of wildlife peeping from one of two balconies.
A weeklong 2025 vacation in the giant suite starts at $17,509 a person on Seabourn Quest.
