We'll guide you toward the top cabins, restaurants and sun decks at sea, as well as luxury cruise ships and budget cruises that can't be beaten. Whatever your travel style, we'll find the best cruise for you.


Book a Repositioning Cruise

Many experienced cruisers book repositioning cruises to get the best cruise deal. It's all a matter of supply and demand. Cruise ships sailing in destinations like Alaska or northern Europe must move (reposition) to warmer locales in the winter months. Repositioning cruises include many sea days and are usually longer in length, so they might not be right for you.

Cruise in the Off-Season

Like all products, supply and demand contribute significantly to the cruise fare. If you can travel in the off-season, your price will be lower since fewer travelers are competing for the same cruise ships. For families with children or those who work in education, this is often impossible since vacations have to be taken during school holidays. The most expensive cruises are during the December holiday season, spring holidays, and the summer school holiday months.

Cruise Where the Supply of Ships Is High

The Caribbean continues to be the most popular cruise destination. There are dozens of ships sailing to the Caribbean each week. Therefore, competition among the cruise lines is high, and they are constantly offering better cruise deals for the Caribbean than for anyplace else in the world. Since North Americans do not have to travel as far to their embarkation port, the air cost is not as much as other cruise destinations.

Do Your Research

The Internet has opened the ability to do in-depth travel research to all who are willing to spend the time and effort. This time invested in researching cruise lines, cruise ships and cruise destinations will pay off with a better cruise vacation.

Even if you get a terrific cruise deal, it won't be worth it if the ship or ports of call don't meet your expectations. Check out the cruise lines' Web sites, read general tips on planning a cruise, read about the cruise ships and destinations, set your cruise budget, work with a travel agent, find a cruise that matches your interests, and GO!
