S.S. Antoinette

All-Inclusive Pricing: Airport transfers, beverages (aside from some top-shelf brands), Wi-Fi, gratuities, and shore excursions are all part of your cruise price.

Big-Ship Features: Though they are smaller than those you would find on a mega ship, S.S. Antoinette has a pool, spa, fitness room, and even a cinema on board.

Intimate Shore-Excursion Groups: The ship uses enough guides so that groups are small, and also sorted out by activity level, so you never feel like you're part of a herd. What's more, there is almost always a choice of excursions at each port. 

Impeccable Service: The ship's staff will rarely say no, and they make a real effort to learn passengers' preferences. You can also take it up a notch by booking a suite serviced by butlers trained by a consultant to Buckingham Palace.

Couples: Antoinette's intimate atmosphere could put you in the mood for romance.

Not for Minimalists: The Louis-style furnishings, toile-filled staterooms, and leopard-spotted bar meld into a style that appeals to a certain traveler, and are a far cry from more streamlined decor on other lines.
