Do you love cruising and want to know the latest luxury cruise lines available for 2020? Here are five new luxury cruise lines to choose from! Get away from it all and relax while you cruise in luxury. You can leave all your cares and concerns behind (for at least a week or so). You will find these suggestions will have you dreaming about and planning your next cruise to places like the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe, Latin America and other exotic locations around the world.
When you cruise, most of your concerns and needs are taken care of, and all you need to do is decide what activities and excursions you would like to experience.
Every cruise is different, and they can offer a variety of amenities and experiences. I researched extensively to see what the latest developments were in the world of cruising. So, keep reading to see what I have discovered!
🌟 Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas Cruise
The biggest cruise ship in the world debuted this spring – the Symphony of the Seas from Royal Caribbean. The ship is over 230,000 gross tons in size and can carry over 6,000 guests! This ship features a ten-story slide, robot bartenders, an ice-skating rink, an aqua theater, twenty different restaurants and so much more!
This is the ideal ship if you have kids or like being active with tons of things to see and do.
Regarding selecting a berth, the best experience would be to book a suite for a luxurious experience for you and your family. The suite comes with a royal genie: “Your Royal Genie doesn’t just tend to your suite – they make the entire ship your suite, crafting personalized VIP experiences tailored to your exact tastes. From planning the perfect date night to having your favorite wine waiting after a day of adventures ashore, your Royal Genie makes sure you have everything you want. More than you ever imagined.”
If you are going to cruise on a huge ship, you might as well stay in style!
Royal Caribbean – Symphony Of The Seas sails to the Caribbean from Florida.
🌟 Norwegian Bliss Cruise
We’ve cruised over thirty times on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity and never any other line (my husband is very loyal!), so I don’t have the experience on other ships. Friends have cruised on Norwegian and raved about it. My dear travel blogging friend Pam at Always5Star has told me a lot of great things about this ship! Read her post about her experience with the luxurious Haven Suites!
The Norwegian Bliss sails to both Alaska and the Caribbean destinations. If you haven’t been on an Alaskan cruise, you must go. Alaska should be seen by everyone who loves to travel.
There will be ocean views from almost every venue, spacious and thoughtfully designed accommodations that fit with every cruiser’s needs, and a variety of exciting and engaging venues that will continue Norwegian’s history of innovation in providing the ultimate dining and entertainment experiences at sea.

🌟 Viking Orion Cruise
I have heard that Viking is a fabulous cruise line and I hope to experience firsthand how beautiful it is! Viking cruises sound so luxurious and elegant, I get their emails and brochures and am eager to check out a vacation with them.
Smaller size plus personalized service coupled with Wi-Fi and laundry services, attention to detail, and larger staterooms earn this line a top spot on my travel wish list. This cruise line has been voted #1!
For now, the reasons why I am dreaming of cruising on the Viking Orion:
• The Orion has an aft infinity pool
• Thermal suite with snow room (complimentary)
• Two-story explorer’s lounge
• Staterooms come with a private veranda
• One shore excursion in each port
• Wi-Fi
• Specialty restaurants
• Laundry room
• 24/7 room service will all be complimentary
Visit their website Viking Cruises and take a 360-degree tour, it will make you want to leave tonight! Check out both the ocean and river cruises.
🌟 Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection
Complete luxury at sea? What could possibly be better than a trip on a Ritz Carlton Yacht, designed to give passengers the experience of being on a yacht? If its complete relaxation and lavish accommodations you are seeking, look no further.
With larger rooms, relaxing common spaces, and an on-board spa, the ship boasts 149 suites — each with their own private terrace — accommodating up to 298 guests. There are also high-end dining options, including a restaurant from Sven Elverfeld of Aqua — the three Michelin-starred restaurants at The Ritz-Carlton, Wolfsburg.
“This unique combination of yachting and cruising will usher in a new way of luxury travel for guests seeking to discover the world,” said Herve Humler, President and Chief Operating Officer of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company in a press release.
Destinations include Canada & New England, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Northern Europe & Baltic, plus repositioning cruises. After reading about the opulence and attention to detail of this cruise, I am scooting it to the top of my cruise bucket list.
*Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection does not set sail till later in 2020 however, booking early for their inaugural year is highly recommended!
🌟 Celebrity Edge Cruise
Celebrity Edge cruise is fabulous. We’ve been on Celebrity and have enjoyed the top-notch service and luxurious details. Look at this sleek ship! Four main restaurants plus specialty and complimentary dining, they have something called “Eden” which is described as:
“Three levels of sensory experiences completely wrapped in glass. Three stories of windows that look out to the ocean, with two areas of al fresco seating on both sides of Eden for breathing in the refreshing salt breezes.”
“With over 11,800 square feet of event space, Eden is the ideal location to host engaging business luncheons, magical wedding celebrations, inviting reunions, and any event you can dream up—all with a backdrop of million-dollar views.”
“The sheer size of Eden will amaze everyone who enters. It’s by far the grandest space we’ve ever designed that purposefully connects you to the sea—and the exciting destinations beyond.”
A resort deck, rooftop garden, solarium, and much more await you on this modern ship. This ship travels to the Caribbean and Europe.
