The four ultra-luxury cruise lines most worth comparing are Silversea, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn and Crystal — each superb, each suited to a different traveler. Silversea offers the widest reach and expedition range, Regent Seven Seas is the most all-inclusive, Seabourn the most intimate, and Crystal the most classic. There is no single best line — only the best one for how you like to travel.
The choice comes down to privacy and control. A luxury cruise — even a small expedition ship — gives you polished service and a set itinerary with other guests aboard; a private yacht charter gives you the boat to yourselves and a route you set day by day. Cruises reach the truly remote places (the poles, the Galápagos) most practically; a private yacht is unmatched for a coastline you want entirely on your own terms.
