9 Best Cruises for Couples

"Yachtlike vessels carrying fewer than 350 guests that emphasize five-star service and elevated culinary experiences (the line is associated with the James Beard Foundation). The intimate ships offer Michelin-caliber meals, a World Spa with regionally inspired treatments, and complimentary watersports such as stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking. Onshore, culinary-focused excursions and romance packages (flowers, bubbly, dinner under the stars, special turndown service) make it ideal for couples; consider a seven-night Caribbean itinerary from St. Maarten visiting Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, St. Barts, and Antigua." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.
