CONTEMPORARY / MAINSTREAM CRUISE LINES

Also sometimes referred to as the mainstream cruise lines, the most popular contemporary cruise lines offer value cruises on generally large ships.

These are usually the largest vessels at sea with the largest number of guests.

The standard of cuisine varies from adequately acceptable to surprisingly good for the price, and many of the contemporary cruise lines are starting to offer as healthy an assortment of alternative dining opportunities as do the premium cruise lines.

Entertainment is plentiful with the focus on glitz and fun, and a usually staggering array of activities are geared to a more youthful, energetic guest audience.








Carnival CruisesCarnival Cruise Lines has earned its position as the world’s largest and most popular cruise line by offering more of what consumers desire in a vacation – a wide variety of on-board choices, a fun, relaxed atmosphere, outstanding value and beautiful and exciting destinations – at one all-inclusive price.
