We live in a fast paced society where all we seem to do is work and play, and leave minimal time for sleep.
For some travellers this habit or routine doesn’t stop, getting that well deserved break and just wind down and relax while on onboard a cruise seems like the last thing they should do.
Cruises are best spent sightseeing, delving into the local culture and engrossing oneself in everything, every single second, right?
Yes, BUT…
Travel can truly teach us lessons that change the course of our life. But it also serves as a time to let everything go, unplug and get to know your true self, the person that exists after all the pressures and complications of daily life are taken away. Rest is a critical part of this experience.
So the question remains.. Which cruise line will give you the best night’s sleep at sea?
We have compiled a list of the top cruise lines that will give you the best night’s sleep while cruising.
Carnival Cruise Line
The Carnival Comfort bed is one such set of sleep furnishings that you can enjoy onboard and also purchase for your own bed at home. The European-made exclusive bedding features an eight-inch spring mattress. Completing the custom sleep system is a duvet made from 100% hypoallergenic down and sheets made of a high quality cotton blend. The duvet covers are of an ultra-fine, ring-spun, satin-striped cotton blend. New Generation Pillows, made of non-allergenic microfibre to create a fluffy, down-like consistency are featured in all staterooms. The pillowcases are of an ultra-fine, ring-spun, satin-striped cotton blend.
Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity has partnered with Reverie®, a leading innovator in the field of luxury bedding, to bring Celebrity Reflection’s suites the groundbreaking Reverie® Dream Sleep System™.
The Dream Sleep System is compatible with iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPad 2, and iPad. You can use your own device or an iPad provided by Celebrity Cruises®.
Each patented sleep system features a premium Reverie mattress that allows you, with the help of your butler, to tailor the firmness of your bed using the Reverie Remote app for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. Moreover, Reverie’s exclusive technology enables the Apple device and Reverie Remote app to act as a remote control for the Reverie Sleep System, allowing you to operate massage features and the elevation of the mattress.
Pressing “zero gravity” on the remote takes you to a position where the feet and head are slightly raised to help with circulation and release lower back pressure. This creates the ultimate sensation of “weightlessness,” similar to the sensation felt in a zero gravity chamber.
Reverie also has integrated remote control power outlet technology into the Sleep System so you can turn appliances around the room, which are connected to the power outlet, off or on with a touch of the screen on the iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad.
Crystal Cruises
For a truly luxurious cabin experience, Crystal offers a Deluxe PURE Stateroom category. If you suffer from allergies, this stateroom will let you indulge, relax and breathe easy.
