I am looking for a top luxury cruise (we have heard there is a boat with a luxury cabin that includes a private sauna. An outdoor private spa/jacuzzi on the deck of a cabin would also be a great asset. We are wanting 3 days 2 nights (although we're completely flexible on this aspect) but the luxury status of the cruise ship is the most important thing we are looking for. What would you recommend? We are hoping to travel mid March 2025. Kind Regards
