TRAVEL & TOURISM
The world by water, verified line by line. LIKE® Travel & Tourism opens its worldwide coverage with the luxury cruise lines themselves — who owns them, who leads them, what ships they sail, what the fare actually includes, and how a voyage is booked — at the moment the industry has changed captains, owners and flagships faster than at any time in its history.
THE FLAGSHIP GUIDE
THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE · OCTOBER 2026
THE WORLD'S LUXURY CRUISE LINES
26 lines — from Regent Seven Seas, Silversea and Seabourn to Ponant, Lindblad, Viking and Uniworld — with every line's parent company, its president or chief executive verified to October 2026, its ships named, its newest ship dated, and its fare model stated in plain words. The vacant presidencies are printed as vacant; the gaps are named, never padded.
HOW TO READ THE GUIDE
Four fleets, four kinds of voyage. Ocean Luxury is the classic all-suite tier, from Regent's excursion-inclusive fares to the hotel-yacht experiment of Explora Journeys. Yacht-Style runs from 95 suites (Four Seasons I) to three square-rigged clipper ships. Expedition Luxury goes to the poles, the Galápagos and the Amazon with ice-class ships, helicopters and working scientists. River Luxury covers the Danube, the Rhine, the Mekong and the Nile — and one line, Viking, whose 109 ships make it the largest fleet in the guide by hulls. Positioning is stated honestly throughout: Oceania and Azamara are labelled luxury-adjacent, Viking is labelled premium at scale, and no fare is called all-inclusive unless the line's own inclusions support the words.
