The second part contains unbiased reviews and fascinating detail of almost 300 ocean-going cruise vessels, and grades them on service, food, entertainment and facilities, using an internationally recognised ratings system.

Sort through the dozens of cruise lines and hundreds of ships to find the perfect cruise for you! Each line and ship is profiled and rated in detail with descriptions of your fellow passengers, the quality of accommodations and food, and what life aboard is like.
