Niche / Specialty Cruise Lines
Niche and specialty cruises offer guests a cruise vacation with a distinct expertise and focus. Most niche/specialty cruise lines are destination experts and provide guests with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture that they are visiting. Cruise lines in the specialty segment feature expertise to destinations like Antarctica, Hawaii, Europe, the Mediterranean and the Greek Islands, South America, the Orient, Asia and Scandinavia. Niche and specialty cruises which also include "soft-adventure" vacations will often feature the following to provide their guests with an enrichment experience as well as a vacation:
- Destination-rich cultural itineraries
- Enrichment seminars by distinguished guest experts
- Naturalists, geologists or licensed guides
- Regional cuisine
- Continental atmosphere with multinational guests
These cruise vacations emphasize destination and discovery and have a broad
appeal to experienced travelers. Niche and specialty cruises are a great value
and a convenient and comfortable way to see the world. Types of ships,
accommodations and amenities vary by cruise line. Cruise fares range from less
than $200 per person, per day, to $400 but will vary based on season and
itinerary.
