The ship has an informal atmosphere and is particularly geared to the British market. There are no inside staterooms, so prices are slightly higher than other ships in the fleet.

 | Costa Luminosa , Costa Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.5)
Costa Luminosa is the first of a new class of ship for Italian cruise line Costa Cruises. Unusually, instead of building bigger, like most lines, Costa has gone down in size with this one. It’s still a big ship, but it feels more manageable when you are walking around.

 | MSC Orchestra, MSC Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.6)
This is the MSC Cruises’ second Musica-class ship and while the décor is chic, the designs are definitely more daring – even a little tacky in places – as MSC follows the trend towards a brasher look so beloved of some rival lines.

 | MSC Poesia, MSC Cruises (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.6)
MSC Cruises’ third Musica-class ship, MSC Poesia, meaning poetry, is elegant and stylish, with lots of brass and marble, and not too much to shock décor-wise, although the Zebra Lounge, with its black-and-white striped carpets, chairs and lamps, is rather extravagant.

One of the original “Love Boats”, of the US TV show Love Boat, this is an older ship that offers interesting itineraries for well-travelled people who would hate to be on board one of the mega-liners offered by mass-market cruise companies.
Expert lecturers are on board.

 | Queen Victoria, Cunard (Passenger/crew ratio: 2.2)
Queen Victoria entered the Cunard fleet in December 2007. Cunard’s new Queen is elegant and stylish – rather what you would expect from a company that brands its vessels as Ocean Liners rather than cruise ships.
