Best Prices Guaranteed on All Major Cruise Lines
Price guarantees sound simple. But the real terms vary a lot by cruise line and by booking platform. Most only apply before your final payment date. Most also pay out as onboard credit rather than cash.
See how price guarantees work →Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian is known for Freestyle Cruising. This is its flexible approach to dining times and dress codes. There is no set dinner schedule most nights. There is no dress code either. This gives every guest more control over their own pace.
Read the full guide →Disney Cruise Line
Disney builds its ships around the whole family at once. Character experiences and rotational dining are part of the fare. A private island at Castaway Cay rounds out the trip.
Read the full guide →Princess Cruises
Princess is known for the OceanMedallion. This is a wearable device used for cabin access and food delivery. It also helps you find your group on a large ship. The line runs some of the strongest Alaska sailings in the industry.
Read the full guide →Holland America Line
Holland America leans toward a calmer, more classic style of cruising. Food gets real focus through its Culinary Council. Live music venues run across the fleet. This line tends to draw an older, more relaxed crowd than family-focused lines.
Read the full guide →Mediterranean Cruises
A Mediterranean cruise covers two different personalities. The Western side leans toward Spain, France, and Italy. The Eastern side leans toward Greece, Croatia, and Turkey. Both regions pack in history, food, and dramatic coastal scenery.
Read the full guide →Cruise Europe
Europe offers more than just the Mediterranean. This guide covers Norway and the fjords. It also covers the Baltic Sea and its capital cities, plus the British Isles. Each region has its own season and its own style of scenery.
Read the full guide →Cruises from Miami
PortMiami calls itself the Cruise Capital of the World. Nearly every major line sails from here. This guide covers the different terminals, since Miami has more than one. It also covers getting to and from the port.
Read the full guide →Amazing Family Cruises
Not every cruise line treats kids the same way. Some are built around families from top to bottom. Others simply allow kids on board. This guide compares kids clubs, ages served, and family-friendly ships across the major lines.
Read the full guide →Cruises from Los Angeles
Cruises from the LA area leave from two separate terminals, San Pedro and Long Beach. Most head toward the Mexican Riviera. This region does not deal with a Caribbean-style hurricane season. Winter sailings stay just as reliable.
Read the full guide →Virgin Voyages
Virgin Voyages is adults-only across its entire fleet. More than twenty restaurants are included in the fare. There are no upcharge dining rooms. Gratuities are billed separately from the fare, so it helps to know that ahead of time.
Read the full guide →Cruises to Mexico
A Mexico cruise can mean two very different trips. One sails the Pacific side from California to Cabo and Puerto Vallarta. The other visits Mexico’s Caribbean coast at Cozumel and Costa Maya. Those sail from Florida or Gulf ports instead.
Read the full guide →Cruises from Bermuda
Bermuda cruises mostly leave from the Northeast. The New York area alone has three separate terminals. Many sailings stay in port at King’s Wharf overnight. This is unusual compared to most cruise stops.
Read the full guide →Canada and New England Cruises
This region is built around fall foliage. The season is short, running mainly through September and October. Quebec City is often the highlight. Bar Harbor, Halifax, and smaller ports round out the route.
Read the full guide →River Cruises
A river cruise is a different style of trip entirely. Ships are small. They dock right in the middle of historic towns. Rivers like the Rhine and the Danube are common routes. What is included in the fare varies a lot by line.
Read the full guide →Honeymoon Cruises
Several lines build real romance into the experience. Princess offers the Sanctuary retreat. Celebrity offers the Retreat suite enclave. This guide covers which lines lean adults-only and what packages typically include.
Read the full guide →MSC Cruises
MSC runs a large global fleet. It leads the market in Europe. Its U.S. presence is growing fast, with ships like MSC World America. The line’s private island, Ocean Cay, is known for feeling less crowded than similar islands.
Read the full guide →Costa Cruises
Costa is the only major Italian cruise line. It is built around Italian food, design, and a festive onboard mood. The Mediterranean is by far its strongest region, though it sails Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and beyond.
Read the full guide →Bahamas Cruises
The Bahamas is one of the easiest cruises to book. Most sailings run just three or four nights from Florida. Nearly every major line owns a private island here, and each one feels completely different from the next.
Read the full guide →Hawaii Cruises
A Hawaii cruise can mean two very different trips. One hops between the islands with almost no time at sea. The other sails from the mainland, with several sea days each way. A U.S. law shapes which ships can do which.
Read the full guide →Alaska Cruises
Alaska cruises fall into two main route types. Inside Passage sailings are round trip through calm, sheltered water. Gulf of Alaska sailings run one-way and reach different glaciers entirely.
Read the full guide →Cunard
Cunard’s flagship, Queen Mary 2, is the only true ocean liner still in service today. She was built for open-ocean crossings, not calm coastal routes. The line is best known for its classic Transatlantic Crossing.
