I'm sure many people will find it surprising to see more cruise lines in this category than the most popular category. These cruise lines, however have much smaller fleets of ships, that are themselves much smaller with even smaller passenger counts. This large passenger to ship ratio allows these cruise lines to offer their guest the ultimate cruise experience. With very low passenger to crew ratios (2 to 1), they can afford to give their guests the ultimate in shipboard service. With all this in mind you would think that only the wealthiest could afford one of these cruises, but when you add up the all that they include, along with some good promotional offers, you might be surprised at how affordable a "Platinum Cruise" can be.
Oceania's three mid-size ships afford incomparable luxury, including cuisine that is simply some of the finest at sea. With only 684 guests to pamper, their 400 staff members cater to your every whim, with highly personalized service. There's a sense of warmth and intimacy throughout, so the ambiance resembles that of a private country club - casual, yet elegant.

Pearl cruises is the latest entree into this market segment. Building a brand new fleet of luxury ships that can travel faster allowing the passengers to have more time to explore in each magnificent place. The interior of the ships offer luxury accommodations with oversized staterooms, all with private balconies.
Silversea creates exceptional ocean journeys with unique opportunities to explore remote ports-of-call from an intimate haven of incomparable luxury.  Discover genuine European expertise reflected in every detail, from their tranquil all-suite accommodation and uncompromising service to distinctive fine dining and a carefree all-inclusive philosophy.
More like yachts than ships, the moment you step aboard you will feel like a welcomed guest. The captain and officers seem like old friends. Everyone on the professionally trained staff – more than one per suite – not only knows you by name, but knows your personal preferences as well.
