Cruise ships are romantic, that’s for sure. The combination of sea breeze and starry nights seems to send Cupid reeling — just ask Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio. These days, a luxury cruise with the one you love has endless possibilities. Here are five cruise ships that go out of their way to inspire romance.
The Zuiderdam is not your typical Holland America ship. Carrying 1,848 passengers, she is bigger and bolder (in decor) than any other ship in the Holland America fleet.

The new look and feel of the Zuiderdam were intentional, designed to attract a younger family crowd on its Caribbean itinerary and, ultimately, to the line overall. Has Holland America succeeded in this bright, bold venture to woo younger and family cruisers? As I discovered on a recent seven-day Eastern Caribbean cruise with my family, the answer is yes and no.
What’s it like to sail the Mexican Riviera “Love Boat” style with kids? It’s not so bad, except for the obnoxious beds.
For families it’s hard to beat a Disney Cruise.
