Inside, Ocean-View or Balcony?
Cruising has become one of the world’s favourite ways to travel — unpack once, wake up in a new port every day, and enjoy the comfort of a floating hotel. But one big question comes up for nearly every first-time cruiser: Which cabin is right for me? From inside to ocean-view and balcony cabins, each type has its own pros and cons.
Inside Cabins: Smart and Budget-Friendly
Inside cabins are located in the interior of the ship, without any windows. They’re the most affordable option — perfect if you plan to spend most of your time on deck or exploring ashore. Despite their smaller size, they have everything you need: a comfy bed, private bathroom and plenty of storage.
👉 Ideal for short cruises or travellers who prefer to save their budget for excursions.
Ocean-View Cabins: Light and Bright
Ocean-view cabins come with a window or porthole, making the space feel open and airy. You’ll enjoy natural light and those soothing sea views, even from your bed. It’s a great balance between comfort and value.
👉 Perfect for anyone who loves daylight but doesn’t necessarily need a balcony.
Balcony Cabins: Your Private Ocean View
The most popular choice among cruisers! A private balcony lets you savour breakfast with a sea view, watch sunsets, or simply enjoy quiet moments at sea. For itineraries through the South Pacific, Alaska or the Mediterranean, the upgrade is well worth it.
👉 Best for longer voyages and scenic routes — such as South Pacific or New Zealand cruises.
Suites: Luxury at Sea
Suites offer generous space, often with a separate lounge area, premium service and exclusive perks — from priority boarding to private sun decks. They’re the ultimate treat for travellers seeking comfort and a touch of indulgence.
👉 Great for families, honeymooners or anyone wanting a luxurious cruise experience.
Tips for Choosing the Right Cabin
- Cruise length: The longer your cruise, the more comfort matters.
- Route: For scenic destinations like Alaska or New Zealand, a balcony cabin is especially rewarding.
- Budget: Inside cabins are practical and affordable, suites are the epitome of luxury — and there’s something for every travel style in between.
Final Thoughts
Your cabin can make all the difference. Inside cabins are cosy and budget-friendly, ocean-view cabins offer brightness and charm, balcony cabins bring unforgettable vistas, and suites deliver pure luxury.
