CHOOSEING A CABIN ON A CRUISE LINER So, you have decided to go on a cruise trip: you have decided on the route, the cruise company and the ship, but suddenly you are faced with a choice: which cabin to choose? Especially for those who are tormented by the difficulties of choosing, we have prepared an overview of the types of cabins and the differences between one type of cabin and another. Let us note right away: the cabins on modern liners are not inferior in convenience (and in some cases even superior) to hotel rooms, just as the liners themselves are floating hotels. All cabins, contrary to popular belief, are located above the waterline, that is (if compared to a hotel) they are at the level of the fourth floor of the building. Below there are only technical decks, isolated from the passenger part of the vessel. It is also important to note that all cabins have absolutely everything for a comfortable stay: bathroom, TV, comfortable beds, wardrobes, air conditioning. INTERIOR CABIN The size of such a cabin is about 16-17 sq.m. Capacity: from 2 to 4 people. The cabin has one double bed (which can be separated into two separate beds if desired). Additional seats, as a rule, are folding, and they are called “pullmans”. CABIN WITH WINDOW Cabin with window about 16-22 sq.m. An undoubted advantage of such a cabin, as is already clear from the name: the presence of a window. It often comes with a living area, that is, in addition to beds and Pullmans, the cabin can have a cozy sofa with a table and chairs. Capacity from 2 to 4 people. CABIN WITH BALCONY A cabin of this type, with the same size and equipment, can completely change the perception of a cruise. The balcony is separated from the cabin itself by large sliding glass doors, and on the balcony itself there are a couple of sun loungers, a table and beautiful view at sea. There is a lot of light in such a cabin. On the balcony you can sunbathe, read a book or drink a glass of champagne and just enjoy the wonderful sea air and amazing views. SUITES The size of such a cabin is approximately from 26 to 56 square meters. m. Most often, there is a private balcony or terrace. In addition to the convenient location on the ship and stylish design, the suites have a special feature - their price includes special options in addition to the general standard set of services. Sometimes this means a welcome bottle of champagne and fruit, a special restaurant for meals, special events, butler service, special check-in and disembarkation procedures and much more. As a rule, each ship has several types of suites, differing in size and cost. GARDEN VILLA (only on Norwegian Cruise Line ships) It can hardly be called a cabin, because... garden villa consists of several rooms, or even a couple of floors. Its area can reach 500 sq.m. There is a separate swimming pool, jacuzzi, private winter garden, and outdoor dining area. There is usually a very thoughtful, stylish interior, several large bathrooms, several bedrooms and TVs, high-speed Internet and other joys of civilization. These rooms also include special concierge and personal butler services. STUDIO (Norwegian Cruise Line only) A cabin for those traveling alone. Its area is 9 sq.m., on which all the standard equipment of the cabin fits compactly: a bed, a flat-screen TV, and this cabin also has very unusual lighting. The most important advantage of the studio: its price. After all, such a room costs much less than a standard cabin. All studios are united by a common living room, where there is a bar and two large TVs and comfortable chairs for spending time together, here you can read a book or just enjoy a drink before dinner. So, we hope that our review helped you understand and decide which type of cabin is best for you. Well, you can always choose a cruise on our website with a unique service that allows you to book not only the category of cabins, but also rooms in real time, unlike other Russian cruise tour operators:

“We have created a tool that allows the agency to keep tourists from going on their own.”
Taras KOBISHCHANOV
"Russian Express"
general manager
“Online Express” opens up the whole world - no need to call a tour operator, request travel options, or waste time on tedious self-assembly. You can create any tour on our platform. Moreover, according to the agents themselves, the search time has been reduced by 4-5 times.

“The tourist should be offered something that he cannot organize on his own”
Dmitry FOMINTSEV
"TurTransVoyage"
general manager
The lady came to this holiday with our group, and the next year we met her there as the wife of the winemaker - she received our tourists with him! Another tourist met her love - an Italian - in Venice, where the group spent only 9 hours."The one who wins good prices, service, speed and technology"
Svetlana DROZDOVA
"Russian Express"
Director of the FIT Department
“The market specifically in the individual tourism sector lacked accessible technologies that would allow us to work quickly. Russian Express offered them: it became more convenient for agents. They trust us with their precious VIP clients"“We have an excellent team - many have been working for more than 10 years, and some have been working since the opening of the hotel”
Svetlana MIKHALEVSKAYA
Azimut Hotel Olympic
general manager
Most likely, this is the result of stable demand for trips to Moscow from Russians. And we have a lot of returning guests. Last year, the Azimut chain updated its loyalty program, and it bore fruit. Although people, of course, come to us not because of bonus points, but for the sake of a high level of service“There are a lot of uncontrollable risks in the tourism business”
Elena VOROPAYEVA
Olymp Consult
director
The main reason for selling a business has not changed, but the cost has dropped significantly - 10-11 years ago the average agency price was about 2-3 million rubles, since then they have fallen in price by 10-15% annually, and now, in fact, they are sold at the cost of furniture and office equipment. The average bill is about 600 thousand rubles“What we came up with for selling excursions in Serpukhov can be useful to any small town”
Yuri YASCHUK
Golden domes
director
If a city offers different group excursions and they can be selected at the trip planning stage, this may affect the occupancy of hotels, restaurants, souvenir sales, etc. This approach can surpass the effect of event tourism“By organizing a massive distribution of souvenirs, exhibitors themselves attract non-target audiences to their stands”
Artem CHERNYSHOV
MITT
director
An exhibition is an expensive thing, so hire professionals for these three days who can properly answer questions and give necessary information. Only in this case is there a chance that visitors will become your partners“We are the first to invite Russian tourists to celebrate New Year in Nazareth"
Anastasia STARIKOVSKI
Hotel Ramada Nazareth
director of international sales
Nazareth is one of the holiest places in the world, where Jesus Christ grew up. There are many churches in the city, for example, amazing beautiful temple Annunciation with a unique mosaic depicting the Madonna and Child. The atmosphere in the city during the New Year and Christmas holidays is special“Visiting an industry exhibition by professional players has not lost its relevance”
Artem CHERNYSHOV
MITT
director
Exhibitions reflect the state of the market as a whole. The ruble is falling, there are fewer tourists. Our market is overheated, the number of agencies and tour operators is clearly excessive. It is clear that they opened in lean times, but now the situation has changed“Hoteliers have the privilege of working 24 hours a day”
Cornelia BRINKMAN
Marriott Novy Arbat, Courtyard City Center
general manager
Not all young people are ready to give up parties with friends for an unscheduled visit, and treat the client as the only one, even if he is the three hundredth one checking in today. This needs to be taught. Therefore, we pay a lot of attention to interns and rely on them“In Tottori Prefecture you can see the real Japan”
Dina DERGUNOVA
Frigate Aero Tours
director of tourism
Hotels opened by foreigners are also in demand because many visitors to Japan face a language problem: in small towns it is difficult to speak English. Muscovites do not expect to meet Russians and are usually interested in how we got here. But the Japanese themselves are most surprised“Russian travel agencies are buying up blocks of seats on cruises to the Arctic and Antarctic”
Marina VLASOVA
Poseidon Expeditions
general manager
Now, by the way, is the time to offer such cruises. A few years ago, clients were surprised when we said in November that there were no more places to go to Antarctica for the New Year. And today the Russian market is accustomed to the fact that these trips need to be booked a year and a half in advance.“The arrival of Hilton in the regions is shaking up local hotels”
Vladimir ILICHEV
Hilton Worldwide in Russia and CIS
Managing Director for Development
I won’t lie, we encourage tourists to make direct bookings on our websites. After all, when accessing online services, loyalty program participants do not receive bonus points. In addition, on our official resources the price is 2-3% lower“The key trend in the hostel market is the blurring of boundaries between formats”
Natalya ROSENBLUM
Top Hotel Experts
managing partner
Whichever locality No matter what, for the development of hostels there must initially be both business and tourist life. If people go to the city only on a business trip, then people limit themselves to old hotels and hostels"Infoflot" is a supermarket that offers more than 3 thousand river and sea cruises
Andrey MIKHAILOVSKY
"Infoflot"
general director
We have more than 6 thousand agencies throughout the country. I think we managed to achieve such a result because we ourselves started as an agency, we are familiar with all the difficulties that stand on this path. Accordingly, we know ways to overcome them“We packed the hotel for the opening like a debutante for a ball”
Svetlana MIKHALEVSKAYA
Holiday Inn Express Moscow Paveletskaya
general manager
The Holiday Inn Express brand standards stipulate fundamentally new format service. For example, we do not have a division between office functions and F&B work. That is, any employee must be able to check in a guest, pour him coffee, and heat up soup

The demand of Russian tourists does not coincide with the rating of preferences for sea cruises on the part of Western tourists, published by Bloomberg: ours are primarily interested in destinations with a convenient flight to the starting point of the cruise, as well as those that have the opportunity to offer Russian-language service. IN winter period these are, first of all, cruises starting from United Arab Emirates, in summer – traditional Mediterranean.

Summer sea cruises smoothly transition into winter ones

29.10.2018

Surely, sea tour operators expected more from the past summer navigation: hopes, although not off the charts, were still there, especially during the period of a successful start. However, everything ended the way it ended - quite positively: the increase is small, but most importantly, there is no decline - this is the recent nightmare of tour operators. Now summer is far behind us, the course is confidently set for the next one that has replaced low season. And ahead of it is the shining middle - the New Year and Christmas holidays. And again hopes for something more, fortunately the prerequisites for that in once again available. But the summer indicators suggest more pragmatic thoughts.

20.08.2018

The current summer season, as noted by tour operator companies specializing in sea cruise tours, is largely comparable to last year’s, although a little better. There are practically no special changes in the Russian market; everything is going smoothly, without any shocks. True, a certain dissonance was introduced by currency fluctuations observed at the end and beginning of April-May and July-August. But everything happened without noticeable consequences.
