Ultra-luxury cruise ship's convenience, all-inclusivity, and suites could make them worth their cost.
  • I sailed on Regent Seven Seas and Silversea's newest ships, Seven Seas Grandeur and Silver Ray.
  • The pricier of the two, Silver Ray, starts at $400 a day in 2025.
  • The convenience, all-inclusivity, and suites make ultra-luxury cruise ships worth their hefty cost.

Luxury cruises can be more than quadruple the cost of an average ship. But before you click away, hear me out — the higher-end vessels are worth the splurge.
