In January, contrary to the shivering winter in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere ushered in a warm summer. The Australia and New Zealand routes have also ushered in the peak season, and cruise ships of all levels will lead tourists from all over the world to visit Australia and New Zealand in this season. Among them, we are familiar with Royal Caribbean and Princess Cruises. However, the top luxury in the cruise industry is not these big ships, but small luxury cruise ships like SIBANG Yinhai. Today, I will introduce a circum-New Zealand route from SBM to Auckland. Although it is also circumnavigating New Zealand, because of its small size, it can call at ports that are not accessible to general large cruise ships such as Stewart Island. Different experiences can be described as 's niche luxury choice .
Shibang Cruise is one of the world’s four top luxury cruises, (the other three are Silver Sea, Crystal, and Regent). The entire fleet is a small luxury cruise with no more than 600 people, which is better than Silver Sea and Regent. , Crystal’s boat is smaller, but the personal activity space and service-riding ratio are very high. Among high-end people abroad, it enjoys a high reputation. When the Seabourn Spirit was launched, Bill Gates participated in its maiden voyage.
Shibang Cruise’s journey is not cheap, but the guests enjoy the most top and most considerate service. Each ship of SIBANG Cruise Line adopts the magnificent full sea view suite design , and guests have enough space to invite friends to eat indoors or hold private cocktail parties in the suites. All suites have sea views; 40% of the cabins have oversized private balconies, extending the leisure and leisure cruise enjoyment for tourists. The suites provide guests with pure cotton sheets, plush duvets and extra-large feather pillows made in Egypt, which are warm and comfortable, stimulating sleep. The bright oak furniture and brass inlaid decoration style in the suite is more warm and soft. The meticulous and thoughtful interior design of
also includes:
has an ingeniously designed coffee table that can be adjusted in height to enhance your dining enjoyment; private free bar and refrigerator in the suite, comfortable desk and sofa, DVD player and BOSE stereo And other personalized equipment, so that visitors have the feeling of being at home.
The tonnage of Shibang Cruises is not large, but its smaller size, in exchange for providing guests with a larger proportion of personal space-the highest proportion of space in the cruise industry, the passenger space ratio of its Odyssey-class ships is as high as 69 .8. Although there are not so many entertainment facilities on a big ship, its spacious space is not available on a big ship, allowing guests to enjoy the more elegant and relaxing environment of . This design also makes SBM Cruises more suitable for wealthy retirees, rather than for children and family passengers who like noise.
service passenger ratio is one of the parameters to measure the standard and quality of cruise service. The passenger ratio of Sibbon Cruise Line reached 1:1.2, which is almost equivalent to one crew member serving one passenger. This number is the basis for bringing high-quality services to every guest. With this foundation, each crew member can understand the customer’s personality and preferences more quickly, so as to provide more customized and personal services. The level of detail and thoughtfulness is enough to make the passengers feel that every service is "serving for me" ". In addition, Shibang Cruises provides 24-hour butler service for each guest room .
. Different from the various paid restaurants on the public cruise line, all restaurants on the cruise ship are free of charge , whether it is an elegant host Restaurants, sushi restaurants that create exquisite Japanese ingredients, open-style casual restaurants, buffet restaurants by the pool, rooftop restaurants that offer creative cuisines from all over the world on the menu, and even hosted by three-star Michelin Thomas Keller Chef’s barbecue restaurant.
You can enjoy the joy of dancing on the tip of the tongue with the surprise taste brought by different foods without the worry of spending money.
