Cruise Costs & Travel Tips

There are several components that make up the cost of cruise travel and all of them need to be considered in the final cost:

BASIC CRUISE RATE: This is also called the 'base' cost. The 'base' cost of your cruise will include your accommodations as chosen for the length of the cruise, on board entertainment and activities, meals and use of the facilities aboard the ship. This base cost will fluctuate with the seasons and depend on what part of the world you're traveling to. Generally, this is the advertised cost.

PORT TAXES AND FEES: These are the taxes and fees that are charged to the cruise-lines by the various government and port authorities at the ports where the ship docks; the cruise line passes these fees along to the passengers. These fees will vary, and may or may not be a part of the advertised cost, so read the fine print of the cruise rates you are quoted.

AIR TRAVEL COSTS: These are additional travel costs that would include any airfare from your home city to the port where you will join the ship, and your return airfare home. They may or may not be included in the price of your cruise package. Be sure to find out.

ADDITIONAL TRAVEL COSTS: If you are traveling by air to where your ship is leaving, you need to factor in the cost of your transportation to and from the airport, along with any parking or baggage fees. When they are advertised, the cost of the affordable cruises do not include transportation to and from your house to the airport.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: This is an an optional cost, but a small one that I highly recommend. Yes, discount cruise rates are very affordable and will not break your wallet, but did you know you could lose ALL of your money if you have to cancel a pre-paid cruise? Did you know many cruise lines are registered in the Bahamas or other ports outside the United States which means our medical insurance may not cover any illness you may experience on the ship if it is registered outside of the United States? Did you know you could lose all your money if for some reason your flight does not make it to your port of call on time? Travel insurance covers you if anything happens at any time during your trip, starting from the time you leave your door. It is very affordable with policies starting as low as $30 and your peace of mind is worth it.

MISCELLANEOUS: Be prepared for other small miscellaneous costs such as tips and gratuity, alcohol, on-shore excursions, and add-on luxuries (such as massages, manicures, etc.). These will be charged separately.

WHEN ARE THE LOWEST CRUISE RATES FOUND? The most affordable cruises can be found "out of season". Like most industries, cruise lines set their rates based on supply and demand. If you travel during their busiest seasons, like holidays and early summer, the price is the highest. If you travel during their slowest vacation periods, the price will be much lower.

With a little flexibility, knowledge, and preparation, you can score great luxury liner deals that are sailing away to exotic destinations every day... without breaking the bank! Take advantage of low cruise rates now.
