Loyalty is a virtue in life, and one that cruise lines like to reward. From extra incentives for brand loyalists to exclusive opportunities for past passengers, the perks can sometimes be a nice benefit if you reach the top tiers.

However, with so many new offers, options, and opportunities available now, should you really only stick to cruising on one cruise line? Our answer is no! Why not save big by trying something brand new?

Cruise ship on the horizon

 There are dozens of new ships to try and exotic destinations to travel to.

If it’s true what they say, that variety is the spice of life, then cruising is the ultimate “sauce” in which to experience the world’s best flavors. With so many cruise options available, dozens of ships (each with their own style), hundreds of exotic ports to explore, and exclusive “new to brand” deals from CruiseInsider, why limit yourself?

Every cruise line is vastly different, each ship is very unique, and all itineraries vary greatly, each new brand bring a new adventure! So if you’d rather be a curious traveler and not a creature of habit, then let our cruise experts help you find the perfect match for your personal interests.

Here are a few of our favorite cruise lines you should definitely try for the first time.

Oceania Cruises

The elegant ships of Oceania are the perfect step up from premium cruise lines into casual elegance. Boasting the finest cuisine at sea and visiting some of the most iconic ports on the planet, Oceania Cruises voyage is luxury at an incredible value.

Insider Tip: "Elite status reciprocity” is a term loyal cruisers should know. It means that if you are ‘elite' with some cruise lines, your elite status may be honored by other "sister brands" in that same family of cruise lines. For example, if you've earned rewards on Royal Caribbean, you'll get those same reciprocal benefits on Azamara Club Cruises, since they’re both owned by the parent company.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Called the “most all-inclusive luxury experience” at sea, Regent takes care of every detail both onboard and onshore. The luxuriously appointed and perfectly sized all-suite ships visit over 450 destinations worldwide and wherever you go, you’ll want for nothing at all.
