The opulent penthouse suite on the Crystal Symphony.
Cruise lines continue to one-up each other in offering the most opulent accommodations that ensure “suite” dreams at sea.
In fact, an elegant duplex apartment the size of a house, exclusive courtyards and verandahs with private pools, hot tubs and fitness areas, and private space large enough to entertain 100 friends can be found in suite accommodations.
Toss in 24-hour butler and concierge service and marble-appointed baths for every bedroom, today’s cruise ships redefine luxury with over-the-top suite accommodations unimagined only a few years ago, says Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA).
Hardly a porthole for a window (few can be found these days) or curtains as if to hide a window in an inside cabin, these grandest of suites on the high seas are often the first to sell out.

Some ships offer “owner’s suites” of more than 2,000 square feet (185 square metres), sometimes over two decks (storeys).
Service for the suite class is highly personalized and the accommodation includes only the latest innovations and finest furnishings, linens, toiletries and amenities.
Here’s a look at some of the over-the-top suite accommodations:
- Disney Magic and Disney Wonder cater to royalty with two Royal Suites on each ship featuring two bedrooms, whirlpool tub, living room, dining room, media library and Disney-designed furnishings.
