10 Best Cruise Ship Balconies

by  Donna Heiderstadt | Mar 10, 2016

When it comes to great cruise ship balconies, size does matter, but location and amenities also play an important role. Sure, there may be a table, but can you actually dine there? Are the chairs hard wood or comfy recliners? And if you can see your neighbors through the partition or the view is obstructed, there may be a problem. We checked out private outdoor spaces on several top ships (and not just the newest ones) to create our picks for 10 best balconies at sea.

Oceania’s Owner’s Suites

The tricked-out Owner's Suites on Oceania’s two newest ships, Riviera and Marina, each have 2,000 square feet of total living space that includes a lavish, two-section balcony; it spans the entire aft of the ship on decks 8, 9, and 10 and measures 259 to 377 square feet. Out there you'll find a whirlpool tub, a flat-screen TV, and cushioned loungers.
