The 10 Most Expensive Cruise Ship Suites
by Dori Saltzman /If you’ve got clients who demand only the best – and most expensive – options for their vacations, these 10 cruise ship suites should pique their curiosity. With pricing starting at more than $12,000 per night – and none less than $4,000 per night, the list is as notable for cruise lines that didn’t make it as for those that did.
Leading the list is the Regent Suite from Regent Seven Seas Cruises, a spot the cruise line has firmly held onto for several years. But rounding out the top three are two newcomers, travel advisors may not be as familiar with – The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Scenic.
Cruise lines you might have expected to find, but didn’t make it into the top 10? Those include Seabourn and Crystal Cruises, with their most expensive suites coming in under $4,000 a night.
1. Regent Seven Seas Cruises – Regent Seven Seas Grandeur: Regent Suite RS, $12,333/night
By far the most expensive cabin at sea we came across is Regent Seven Seas Cruise’ Regent Suite RS on the Seven Seas Grandeur. For a nine-night sailing from Barcelona to Rome in 2024, the brochure cost was just over $110,000 per person.
Of course the massive suite – its 3,151-square-feet – is pretty spectacular featuring two bedrooms, a private 1,292-square-foot balcony with whirlpool, three walk-in closets, an in-suite spa retreat complete with sauna, steam room, and jetted tub, and more.
Perks for staying in the suite include free laundry and dry cleaning, free first class air for domestic flights and free business class air for international flights, a complimentary one-night pre-cruise hotel package including ground transfers and breakfast, free unlimited Wi-Fi onboard, a personal car and guide to explore ashore at no extra cost, free in-suite spa services, a personalized in-suite full liquor bar set-up, and much, much more.
2. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection – Evrima: Owner’s Suite, $9,914/night
Not lagging too far behind is the Owner’s Suite on Evrima, which a spokesperson for The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection told TMR went for a high of $69,400 per person for a one-week 2023 sailing from Marseille to Rome.
Considerably smaller than the Regent Suite, the Evrima Owner’s Suite is still a sizeable 1,091 square feet and has a 635-square-foot balcony terrace featuring a private whirlpool. The one-bedroom suite features a living and dining area with convertible sleep sofa, a walk-in wardrobe, two bathrooms, both with toilets, and one with a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower, and the second with only a shower.
Perks included with the room are 24-hour in-suite dining, a mini-bar provisioned to your preferences, complimentary Wi-Fi, free chilled bottle of Champagne upon arrival, espresso machine with complimentary coffee and teas, and more.
3. Scenic – Scenic Eclipse I: Owner’s Penthouse, $8,086/night
We found roughly the same pricing on a number of eight-night sailings aboard Scenic Eclipse I and II, but here we’re quoting a 2024 Italian Treasures sailing in an Owner’s Penthouse from Civitavecchia to Valletta, which came in at $64,690 per person.
One of the largest suites at sea, the 2,099-square-foot suite features a spacious terrace with lounge area and private spa pool, in-suite dining with seating up to eight people, a spa bathroom with dual vitality mist shower with color light therapy, two bathrooms, a walk-in wardrobe, and more.
Perks included with the suite include a complimentary one hour in-suite spa treatment per guest, free laundry service, a full mini-bar stocked with alcoholic and soft drinks personalized to your preference, daily canapes and petit fours, and more.
4. Norwegian Cruise Line – Norwegian Viva: Haven Premier Owner’s Suite with Large Balcony, $7,683 night
For years, the line’s three-bedroom Garden Villa (on Dawn- and Jewel-class ships) rated as NCL’s most expensive suite. With the arrival of the Viva-class, that distinction now goes to the Haven Premier Owner’s Suite. At its most expensive – a 2024 Christmas/New Year’s cruise – the per night pricing comes in at more than $10,000 per person, per night. However, we found most sailings in 2024 and 2025 ranged between $7,000 and $7,700 per person, per night.
The 2,100-square-foot aft-facing suite can hold up to eight people and features an 828-square-foot curving balcony with hot tub, separate living and dining areas, three bedrooms with king-sized beds, a double sofa bed, three bathrooms with jetted showers, a guest half-bath, and more.
Amenities include the services of a butler and concierge, as well as white tablecloth in-suite dining, 1 bottle of Moet Champagne upon embarkation, custom selection of liquor, along with daily replenishment of bottled water and sodas, invites to exclusive breakfast and lunches, a cocktail party with the ship’s officers, access to an exclusive sundeck, pool and lounge, and much, much more.
5. Celebrity Cruises – Celebrity Ascent: Iconic Suite, $5,800
Generally speaking, Celebrity doesn’t usually rank in the top 10 for most expensive suites at sea, but during the holiday season, prices for a one-week sailing in an Iconic Suite on the Edge-class can exceed $40,000 a person.
The 1,892-square-foot Iconic Suite, located in The Retreat on Edge-class ships, feature two bedrooms and two bathrooms – one with whirlpool tub, a 689-square-foot terrace with hot tub, dining space for up to six people, and a private butler’s pantry.
Included in the fare for Iconic Sites are butler service, complimentary bottled water, soda and beer stocked daily, unlimited lunch and dinner in all specialty restaurants, two complimentary bottles of premium spirits, complimentary unlimited premium drinks and Wi-Fi, onboard gratuities, complimentary laundry service (twice per cruise), an in-room Peloton, onboard credit, and more.
6. Cunard Line – Queen Mary 2: Grand Duplex, $4,930/night
Cunard might not be the first line that comes to mind when thinking of the cruise industry’s most expensive suites, but the line’s Grand Duplex on Queen Mary 2 is right up there near the top with the most expensive fare we found, for a 2024 one-week Eastbound transatlantic crossing, starting at $34,518.
These opulent suites measure 1,600 square feet with a 645-square-foot balcony, and feature an elegant Art Deco-inspired spiral staircase with a master bedroom and bathroom located on the second level. The suite also offers a full dining area, guest bathroom, and even a small exercise area.
Amenities and perks included with a stay in a Grand Duplex suite include butler service, a reserved table in the Queens Grill restaurant, minibar stocked with two bottles of pre-selected wine or spirits and soft drinks, bottle of Champagne on arrival, priority tender service, and more.
7. Royal Caribbean International – Icon of the Seas, Ultimate Family Suite, $4,900
The Ultimate Family Suite is the only stateroom on this list that we had difficulty finding pricing for. Why? Because on just about every sailing currently open for booking (on all four ships that have it – Symphony, Spectrum, Wonder of the Seas, Icon of the Seas), the suite is sold out. With the help of a travel advisor, we were able to find one sailing, a one-week December cruise in 2024, priced at $34,295 per person. But keep in mind, this suite can be priced upwards of $75,000 per person during holiday season, which would push it higher on this list.
This two-level suite is the “ultimate” playground for families, complete with an in-suite slide to get quickly from level two to one. The oversized balcony has games like air hockey and table tennis, as well as a Jacuzzi. Inside there’s a private game room complete with multiple video game systems.
Like other Star-tier Royal Suite Class accommodations, the Ultimate Family Suite includes access to a Royal Genie, stocked minibar, complimentary alcoholic and soft drinks, and complimentary specialty dining, VOOM Internet access, and gratuities. Other perks include expedited boarding and departure, suite lounge, sun deck and Coastal Kitchen access, free admission to the Thrill Waterpark at Perfect Day at CocoCay, and more.
8. Explora Journeys – Explora I, Owner’s Residence, $4,700
Explora Journeys may not even be sailing yet, but its Owner’s Residence still manages to find its way onto our list of the most expensive cruise suites at sea. As just one example, we found a 2024 nine-night cruise in the Middle East that prices out to $42,350 per person.
These suites, which feature balconies almost as big as the actual suite (1,668 square feet of interior space with 1,345-square-foot balconies), have separate living, dining (for up to six guests), and bedroom areas. There’s also a Master Bath with private steam room, and the ocean-front balcony is furnished with a large whirlpool, day beds, and dining and lounge areas.
Perks that come with stays in the Owner’s Residence include roundtrip home to airport ground transfers (up to 50 miles each way from/to airport), complimentary pre- or post-cruise hotel night, complimentary treatment at the spa, private driver ashore, butler service, a mini-bar replenished according to your preferences, and much, much more.
9. Silversea Cruises – Silver Nova: Owner’s Suite, from $4,500/night
Silversea’s most expensive per night cruise rates are for the line’s Alaska deployment, when pricing for the Owner’s Suite on ships like Silver Nova and Silver Muse can
10. Disney Cruise Line – Disney Dream: Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah, $4,336/night
While Disney Wish is a newer ship – and its Concierge Wish Tower Suite is the biggest stateroom in the Disney fleet – the pricing on the Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah on Disney Dream still comes in higher. For a seven-night roundtrip sailing from Barcelona in 2024, the per-person price comes in at just over $30,350.
The 1,781-square-foot one-bedroom suite features a master bedroom with queen bed, two bathrooms including a master with double sinks, a rain-style shower, and whirlpool tub, an oversized balcony with a whirlpool tub, a separate living room with two pulldown beds (one double, one single), an open dining salon, and pantry and wet bar stocked with water and sodas.
Concierge-level perks include free Wi-Fi, a pillow menu, pre-arrival and onboard concierge services such as pre-reserving onboard activities and services, a private welcome reception, in-suite dining, priority tendering, and exclusive access to a Concierge Lounge and sun deck.
