Look inside 8 ultraluxury cruise suites with amenities like pillow 'menus,' butler service, and karaoke lounges
High-end cruise suites often include amenities like private hot tubs, butlers, and pillow "menus."
See eight of the most luxurious suites on cruise lines like Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Celebrity.
This article is part of "Well Charted," a series for travelers planning cruise adventures.
Forget windowless interior cabins. Wealthy cruisers prefer apartment-like suites with butlers, original Pablo Picasso prints, and pillow "menus."
Travelers have been increasingly spending big on their at-sea vacations — so much so that Four Seasons plans to charge $350,000 a week for its coming ship's palatial four-floor, 9,975-square-foot suite.
If you, too, have the ultraluxe-cruise itch but don't want to wait until Four Seasons' yacht sails in 2026, here are eight other lavish cabin options.
They won't cost as much as a new house, but they'll still have deluxe perks like butlers and welcome bottles of bubbly.
Silversea's Otium Suite
Silversea is known for its all-inclusive luxury cruises. If you want a step above the basics, book the Otium Suite. It's available on Silver Ray and Silver Nova, starting at $17,000 a person for a weeklong 2025 voyage.
On Silver Ray, the 1,324-square-foot cabin's balcony is larger than the ship's smallest suites. More space means more amenities — the outdoor area has a hot tub, lounge chairs, and a dining table.
If you prefer eating inside (perhaps the complimentary caviar delivered by your butler), head to the living room, which has a library, dining table, and stocked bar.
The couch can be converted into a bed. For a cozier slumber, you'll want the bedroom, which has a walk-in closet and a dual-vanity marble-tiled bathroom.
Royal Caribbean International's Ultimate Family Townhouse
Icon of the Seas' 2,523-square-foot Ultimate Family Townhouse is an unconventional take on luxury, designed more for children than adults.
That doesn't mean it'll be affordable — two travelers should expect to each pay more than $34,220 for a seven-night voyage in 2025.
Guests can play ping-pong on the white-picket-fence-lined patio. Up the curved staircase, they can lounge in the multipart living room, which includes a hot tub on the balcony and a movie theater lounge with karaoke.
Take the second set of stairs and pass the mesh-floor lounge to find the two bedrooms. The primary room has a private balcony and an en-suite dual-vanity bathroom, while the kids' room has bunk beds, a couch, and another restroom.
Need to get back to the living room? Take the tube slide down.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises' Regent Suite
Seven Seas Grandeur's 4,443-square-foot Regent Suite features two bedrooms and balconies, 2 ½ bathrooms, a parlor, and a living and dining room. It's also atop the ship's bow, offering sweeping views.
Expect homelike touches such as walk-in closets, laundry service, and a personalized bar — as well as ultraluxe niceties like a butler, two original Picasso prints, and a variety of sheets and pillows to choose from.
The ship's spa facilities, including the sauna, are complimentary. But if you prefer a private sweat, the Regent Suite has its own wellness amenities, such as a steam room, a heated mini pool, and complimentary treatments.
At ports, guests receive a personal car and guide. On board, they get priority dining and spa reservations.
In 2025, the all-inclusive Seven Seas Grandeur's weeklong roundtrip Miami voyages start at $4,500 a person. If you opt for the glitzy Regent Suite, expect to pay $42,000 each (if you can get off the waitlist).
The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Owner's Suite
The 1,754-square-foot Owner's Suite on Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's Ilma has plenty of space for entertaining — from the personalized living room bar to the furnished terrace with a hot tub.
Host light bites at the dining table or drinks on the outdoor couch. If guests are spending the night, convert the sofa into a bed.
Keep the bedroom to yourself — there, you'll have a walk-in closet and a marble bathroom with a bathtub and shower.
In 2025, the all-inclusive suite starts at $36,400 a person for a weeklong voyage.
Disney Cruise Line's Tomorrow Tower Suite
Disney Treasure's Epcot-inspired Tomorrow Tower Suite could be the happiest cabin on earth — and starts at about $46,820 a guest for a weeklong sailing for two.
To access the 1,966-square-foot suite, you'll have to take a private elevator.
Downstairs, the two-story floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the living room, dining table, and bar in light. There, you'll also find a library turned bedroom.
Head upstairs for the children's bunk room and two primary sleeping quarters, each with walk-in closets, and the children's room with a bunk bed.
Don't fight for the bathroom — the suite has 4 ½ of them, and the two largest have dual sinks, bathtubs, and showers.
Feeling peckish? Grab snacks from the pantry refrigerator and a beverage from the wine cooler. Need help booking the nursery? Call your concierge.
Virgin Voyages' Massive Suite
Virgin's aptly named 2,147-square-foot Massive Suite is fit for a rock star — with a music room stocked with electric guitars.
The suite has two circular couches: one in the living room and the other on the terrace.
There's no need to visit the pool deck when your open-air lounge has a hot tub and hammocks.
Guests can use the bedside tablet to personalize their bedroom's smart curtains and mood lighting. The en-suite marble bathroom is just as flashy, featuring a bathtub and a separate shower overlooking the bedroom.
The accommodation includes priority reservations, a daily spa pass, and a voucher for some drinks at the bar, though the in-suite bar is bottomless.
Drink up — the Massive Suite starts at $8,540 a person for a weeklong 2025 cruise.
Celebrity Cruises' Iconic Suite
Expect unobstructed views in Celebrity's two-bedroom, two-bathroom Iconic Suite. After all, the cabin is perched above the ship's bridge and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows.
If you don't mind blocking the primary bedroom's view, you can lower the ceiling-mounted TV. Its en-suite bathroom is just as luxe, with two vanities, a shower, and a bathtub.
The terrace has a hot tub and plenty of lounge seating, complementing the living room's sectional and dining table. Guests also have a butler's pantry and a butler on call to help pack or make dinner reservations.
Expect to pay at least $17,406 a person for a seven-night 2025 cruise.
Seabourn's Grand Wintergarden Suite
What's better than one suite? How about two aboard a luxury Seabourn ship?
Seabourn combines its Wintergarden and Veranda cabins into larger two-deck, apartmentlike Grand Wintergarden Suites.
The luxe mansion cabins have a lounge with a dining table, a pantry, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Upstairs, travelers will find another bedroom, with a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a tub and shower.
For a relaxing evening, call your suite host to help draw a bath.
Or grab a glass of whiskey from the pantry bar and use the Swarovski-branded spotting scope for an afternoon of wildlife peeping from one of two balconies.
A weeklong 2025 vacation in the giant suite starts at $17,509 a person on Seabourn Quest.
