Mid-Market/Large Ship - which generally refers to any ship that carries more than 1,000 passengers. Sometimes referred to as "mass market" these cruise lines are better equipped to handle larger group programs than their smaller, boutique or luxury counterparts. "Mass" should not be confused with "low quality" as these products deliver excellent results with an incredible array of bells and whistles. They key is to find the line that fits the profile of your group, as each one has their specialty.

Deluxe - which largely takes into account smaller, elite vessels. They tend to be more inclusive than those in the mid-market. Staterooms are larger and more luxurious. Some ships feature all-suite accommodations and a large percentage of verandas. Most have an open-seating dining policy as well as alternative dining options. Many include unlimited liquor and caviar. But you will find that in this category, there are more differences between the individual brands. These are vessels you would likely charter with the right size group. These cruise lines also tend to be more flexible when it comes to altering itineraries or selling custom blocks of space.

Boutique - which encompasses those lines that are small, but don't fit the Deluxe category. They tend to be more unique than any of the others due to the unique vessels they employ and the itineraries they offer. They are often the best value in the cruise industry, but might be lesser known. Each of these products is best purchased on a charter basis.
