Elizabeth Rhodes/Travel + Leisure

For the first time, we’re spotlighting new cruise ships on Travel + Leisure ’s It List, as these exceptional vessels become more and more like floating resorts — celebrity chefs, crystal chandeliers, and Rolex boutiques included.

Explora Journeys’ Explora I

Paul Brady/Travel + Leisure

It’s not every day a new cruise line arrives. The debut of the remarkable Explora I was a moment years in the making for Explora Journeys , the upstart luxury operator that aims to bring a European sensibility to the world of vacations at sea. So far, the project is a smashing success, thanks to the ship’s low-key vibe, standout food and beverage, and intriguing itineraries that visit in-demand ports in Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean. My own August 2023 trip on Explora I , from Copenhagen to Hamburg, Germany, included fulfilling visits to places such as Oslo and the town of Stavanger, Norway, a gateway to adventurous hiking with a postcard-perfect Old Town. The ship itself was also a destination, with its abundance of outdoor space — including an alfresco fitness center — and pools at seemingly every turn. The 461 suites, all of them with balconies, are filled with luxurious touches such as Frette linens and robes, heated marble floors, and Dyson hair dryers. But Explora I truly shines when it comes to food: During the week I was aboard, it was impossible to find a bad meal — and I was often astonished at the quality of, in particular, the pasta served in the Emporium Marketplace and the sushi on offer at Sakura, two of the nine restaurants aboard. The most ambitious of them all is Anthology, a rotating-chef concept that has seen a residency from seafood whiz Mario Ulaissi, known for his Michelin three-starred restaurant on Italy's Adriatic coast, and that recently welcomed Emma Bengtsson, from Aquavit , in New York City. Much has been made of Explora I ’s Rolex boutique — the first on any cruise ship — but for my money, the other shops on board were more interesting: The company has tapped family-owned businesses around the world to create capsule collections of resort wear, handbags, fragrances, sunglasses, and beautiful gifts that can’t be found elsewhere. From $2,050 per person for a six-day sailing. Accessible ship. — Paul Brady

Oceania Cruises’ Vista

Nick Tortajada/Courtesy of Oceania Cruises

The new Oceania Vista is in a class of its own; no really, it’s the first in Oceania Cruises ’ new Allura class. Of its 11 bars and restaurants, three are entirely new to the Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings–owned brand — including a high-end cocktail spot called Founders’ Bar, serving 26 intricate drinks that use house-made syrups and top-shelf booze like Whistle Pig and parsley-infused Grey Goose. As Oceania levels up, the cruise line has produced a ship that feels more like a floating resort than the vessels that came before. There’s pickleball; a health-conscious restaurant, Aquamar, serving made-to-order salads and pressed juices; and a coffee shop that looks like one in walking distance of my home in L.A. (marble counters, gold accents, leather bar stools) and pulls an espresso shot of similar quality. Vista has more suites than others in the Oceania fleet, too: There are 14 Oceania Suites (up to 1,200 square feet); eight Vista Suites (up to 1,850 square feet); and three Owner’s Suites with Ralph Lauren Home decor and two massive terraces (2,400 square feet). But the most hotel-like touch? A celebrity chef–driven restaurant, Toscana, where Giada De Laurentiis — the ship’s godmother — supplied two recipes for the menu. As someone who watched a lot of Everyday Italian in the early aughts, I was particularly excited to try her signature, Capri-inspired lemon spaghetti, and lemon-cream sauce with grilled shrimp and capers didn’t disappoint. From $2,499 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — Maya Kachroo-Levine

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Seven Seas Grandeur

Courtesy of Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ sixth ship, the Seven Seas Grandeur , sailed its inaugural season in December, joining sibling ships Seven Seas Explorer and Seven Seas Splendor as the newest member of the luxury fleet. The cruise line is a favorite among T+L readers for its gorgeous ships and all-inclusive pricing that covers unlimited shore excursions, dining at specialty restaurants, and even round-trip airfare. Grandeur lives up to its name thanks to stunning, art-filled spaces designed by cruise ship interior experts Studio Dado: signature restaurant Compass Rose is enchanting with interiors inspired by a fairy-tale forest; the Observation Lounge sparkles with an undulating chandelier and swanky bar; and the $11,000-per-night Regent Suite has a private en suite spa and custom Treesse mini pool. As I boarded Grandeur for the ship’s inaugural sailing, I was mesmerized by the grand staircase and glittering chandelier. And with a maximum capacity of 744 guests, I found it easy to take time to myself in the myriad of quiet spots tucked throughout the ship, whether in the Serene Spa and Wellness area, in the Library, or on the Sports Deck overlooking the ocean. Seven restaurants include specialty steakhouse Prime 7, pan-Asian restaurant Pacific Rim, and breakfast and lunch buffet La Veranda, which refines the cruise buffet experience with daily specials like paella and sushi. Several bars and lounges, a pool and hot tubs, a casino, Broadway-style productions, and cooking classes at the Culinary Arts Kitchen make the ship a destination in itself, though guests will want to take advantage of those included excursions on Caribbean, Central American, North American, and European itineraries, ranging from seven to 16 nights, during the ship’s 2024 season. From $4,669 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — Elizabeth Rhodes

Silversea’s Silver Nova

Courtesy of Silversea Cruises

Carrying 728 passengers, Silver Nova is big for the luxury sector, but boasts a hugely important metric: a capacious passenger space ratio — that is, the number of guests relative to the size of the ship. Simply put, this ship offers more elbow room per passenger than almost any other cruise vessel. Silver Nova is wrapped in glass, with an asymmetrical layout; the funnel is positioned off-center, so is the pool, offering an expansive, uncluttered pool deck. Many features of the brand-new ship recall previous Silversea successes, my favorite of which is the S.A.L.T. (Sea And Land Taste) program, expanded for Silver Nova . S.A.L.T. perks include a gorgeous, sea-facing lab for hands-on culinary lessons (at no additional cost), plus a new concept, the Chef’s Table, where an 11-course menu is prepared for just 24 diners. All facets of the S.A.L.T. ecosystem, including ingredients, a bar, lectures, and shore excursions, are keyed to the region Nova is sailing. While food is a drawing card for Silver Nova , accommodations also received a revamp. Tied to the theme of bringing the outside in, there are brilliant new suites found in the aft starboard corner of the ship, with wraparound balconies revealing a 270-degree view.  This is where you can tuck me in when I win the lottery and head off on a world cruise. But until then, Silver Nova will summer in Alaska and spend northern hemisphere winters in Australia and New Zealand, places where top-deck views should prove ceaselessly rewarding. From $3,250 per person for a seven-night sailing. Accessible ship. — David Swanson

July Cruises

You’ve never done summer like this before

Celebrate summer with a luxury cruise in July on one of Celebrity’s award-winning ships. There’s an adventure for every taste—a culture-packed voyage around the cool cities of the Baltic, perhaps, or a leisurely journey to some of the most glamorous ports in the Mediterranean. If tropical beaches are calling, then choose the Caribbean for long, relaxing days on Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach, or snorkeling over dazzling coral gardens in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Bermuda’s pink sands and teeming reefs might be just as tempting. 

Perhaps you’re intrigued by wildlife, in which case, the pristine forests and rocky coasts of Alaska could be the answer, where you’ll see bears, whales, bald eagles, and sea otters in their glorious natural habitat. Or you could explore the volcanic Galapagos Islands, where you’ll spot fascinating species including giant tortoises, penguins, and prehistoric-looking iguanas.

Itineraries

Top july cruise destinations, scandinavia.

By July, the Scandinavian summer is in full swing. Enjoy leafy pub gardens in chic Copenhagen, wander endless beaches under vast skies in Skagen, on the northerly tip of Denmark, and explore the cobblestone streets of Tallinn, which appear straight out of a fairytale. Visit Stockholm’s fantastic museums, whether you’re into ABBA or maritime history, and admire the work of Norway’s greatest painter at the Munch in Oslo. On cruises from Rotterdam, you’ll have a day in edgy, arty Berlin, too.

Italy, France & Spain

Explore the glamorous Mediterranean in July, where the stylish Celebrity Edge will sail all summer long. Gaze at shimmering contemporary architecture in Valencia, feast on tapas in Palma, and wander through the shaded alleys of Dalt Vila in Ibiza. See the astonishing Leaning Tower of Pisa, and marvel at Florence’s magnificent cathedral. Stroll the waterfront in glamorous Portofino, and from Cannes, head into the mountains to visit medieval villages, all on one unforgettable voyage.

A cruise to Alaska is the best way to see the state’s wild terrains and rugged beauty. Witness whales and other marine life navigating the northern waters. Soar over the most stunning landscapes in North America via helicopter and get a bird’s-eye view of Alaska’s breathtaking glaciers, extraordinary snow-capped mountains, and wild brown bears. Tick an item off your bucket list by visiting the 76-mile-long Hubbard Glacier, the world’s longest tidewater glacier.

If complete relaxation is on your mind, book a Caribbean cruise, where your worries will melt away under the warm sun, tropical beats, and friendly smiles. Wander through old Mayan ruins in Mexico, bask in the sun on Grand Cayman’s famous 7 Mile Beach, and savor authentic Key lime pie in Key West. Or, head to the Eastern Caribbean and visit Puerto Rico’s Old San Juan and its historic fort overlooking the ocean, swim over the coral reefs of St. Thomas, and play with dolphins in the Bahamas.

An all-inclusive vacation to the exotic Galapagos Islands is another class of adventure. On Galapagos cruises in July, you’ll experience some of the most extraordinary and diverse wildlife that the world has to offer. Certified naturalists on board will give you the inside scoop on the islands’ creatures. Snorkel with sea turtles, wander past iguanas, and birdwatch along the dramatic landscapes that only the Galapagos can deliver.

Sail from Cape Liberty to the subtropical island of Bermuda, where flower-filled gardens line country lanes and the rocky coast is fringed with exquisite beaches, some a delicate shade of pink. You’ll spend two nights at the historic Royal Naval Dockyard, with plenty of time to explore massive fortifications, a craft market, and buzzing restaurants. Take a romantic sunset catamaran sail, marvel at the rock formations of the Crystal Caves, and snorkel over vibrant coral reefs.
