“I’m not really a cruise person…”
If that sounds like you, you’re in very good company. A lot of my more selective travellers love the idea of waking up somewhere new every day, but hesitate when they picture:
Huge crowds everywhere, or
A tiny ship with nothing to do, or
Something that just doesn’t feel very “you”.
That is exactly why I recommend The Haven by Norwegian Cruise Line.
Think of it as a luxury boutique hotel hidden inside a larger ship.
In The Haven you have your own private world:
Keycard-access, away from the busy parts of the ship
Dedicated lifts straight into this exclusive space
An elegant Haven restaurant (no buffet scrums)
Private pool and sundeck with space and attentive service
Calm observation lounge for quiet coffees, sunsets and sail-ins
Spacious suites and family cabins
Even the option to book out the Haven area for a special celebration or multi‑gen trip
It feels more like a members-only club at sea than a typical cruise.
Then, whenever you want more buzz, you simply step out of The Haven and into everything the full ship offers:
Big-name shows like Choir of Man in the theatre
A Beatles tribute band in the Cavern-style venue
Fantastic dining choices: sushi, Texan steakhouse, Italian, French and more
So if you’ve always said cruising is “not really my scene”, The Haven might be the way to do it your way: privacy, style and space, plus all the entertainment and dining when you want it.
If this sounds like your kind of cruise, send me a message and I can match you to the right ship, itinerary and Haven suite.
