In 2026, as indoor smoking regulations tighten, "cigar bars" have become a hallmark of premium and luxury lines. Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) features "Humidor" cigar lounges on nearly all its modern ships, including the Norwegian Prima, Viva, and the new Norwegian Aqua. Royal Caribbean maintains dedicated cigar spaces like "Connoisseur Club" on many Freedom and Voyager-class ships, though some are being phased out in newer builds. For a more "classic" experience, Cunard's Queen Mary 2 features the refined "Churchill’s Cigar Lounge." In 2026, MSC Cruises also offers "Cigar Rooms" on their Seaside and World-class vessels (like MSC World Europa). These lounges are specifically ventilated and often feature a curated selection of premium cognacs and whiskeys. It is important to note that smoking is typically banned on stateroom balconies, making these dedicated bars the only legal and comfortable indoor option for cigar enthusiasts at sea in 2026.
