Go For the Best Cruises for Couples

The romance of cruising as a couple leaps off the page of those glossy magazine brochures. Photos of couples admiring the view at sunset or sipping champagne on their private verandah wistfully gazing at each other or spending time alone on a deserted beach with their mega-ship anchored in the background. Cruising can be one of the most romantic vacation options and choosing the right cruise line and, even more specifically, the right ship within the fleet, can be a big challenge.

Here is the list of 10 Best Cruises for Couples


 
1. Crystal Symphony

Thanks to a $15 million facelift in September 2014, Crystal Symphony now boasts a handful of innovative amenities and renovated areas, including updated spa and casino venues and an outdoor Fitness Garden with cardio training machines. Crystal Symphony's superior customer service sets it apart from its luxury competitors. The ship can carry up to 922 guests but it never feels crowded thanks to an abundance of quiet onboard areas and a low passenger-to-crew ratio, with 545 staff members catering to guests. The Feng Shui-inspired Crystal Spa offers unique treatments like Japanese Silk Booster Facials and Aroma Stone massages for guests looking to unwind. About 58 percent of accommodation offer verandas, all staterooms afford ocean views and each comes outfitted with a flat-screen TV, a large bathroom with a bathtub, a double sink and Aveda products, and free Wi-Fi access. Guests staying in a Penthouse category room are treated to extra privileges like complimentary welcome Champagne, afternoon canapés, free Internet access and butler service. You’ll be impressed with the ship's extensive culinary offerings, which offer menu items selected by acclaimed chefs Nobu Matsuhisa and Piero Selvaggio.


2. Queen Elizabeth

The newest Cunard ship, Queen Elizabeth set sail in 2010. With a capacity for a little more than 2,050 guests, Queen Elizabeth maintains a 1-to-2 crew-to-passenger ratio, providing more customization than you might find on a larger ship. The crew provide five-star service, especially during the embarkation and disembarkation process. Smaller than the cruise line's flagship, Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth offers nearly 1,050 staterooms, 85 percent of which are outside cabins. In-room amenities include a mini-fridge, a half-bottle of sparkling wine, nightly turndown service and in the suites, walk-in closets and butler service. Daytime activities include enrichment classes, afternoon tea and outdoor garden parties. While this ship does provide some supervised entertainment for kids, the fact that Queen Elizabeth offers more adult-centered activities means a more peaceful cruising experience as a couple. For those interested in improving their dance skills, Queen Elizabeth is the only Cunard ship to offer dance lessons on board.
