There are plenty of accommodation options on a cruise ship and staying in a suite can add an extra element of luxury to a sailing.
Options range from family-friendly suites with slides, games and lounges to adult-only cabins complete with their own butler.
Many include balconies or hot tubs, plus private entrances, and access to exclusive bars or restaurants.
The cruise fare will be higher than a standard interior or balcony cabin but the price may also include extras such as wifi, tips, spa access and excursions.
A range of cruise lines offer suites including Royal Caribbean, Princess and Celebrity Cruises.
Here is our pick of the best cruise suites at sea.
