Most Cruise fares run from $500 to $900 per person depending on cabin, itinerary and season. Compare live deals for your exact dates.

When is the cheapest time to book a Cruise?

Booking early (or grabbing last-minute repositioning deals) usually wins. Shoulder-season sailings are far cheaper than holidays and peak summer.

Are there extra fees on top of the fare?
