How much is a piece of string?
Cabins on the same cruise ship, on the same cruise can range from a mere $50 per night right up to presidential suites for thousands of dollars. The cruise above is just $42 per night!
Additionally some cruise lines like Seabourn have all inclusive prices that include all alcohol , transfers and day trips.
Which ever way you slice it, whether you book the cheapest inside cabin, or a two story spa suite with piano and butler, a cruise holiday is one of the best value for money holidays you can find anywhere.
The reason is that on board a ship your money goes so much further.
All entertainment is included: live theatre shows, musical acts from bands to piano players
Free movies in the cinema or in your cabin
Six meals a day Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner, Supper
Luxurious 2 hours meals with true silver service and white linen every night
Numerous casual dining options and generally 24 hour pizza and hot dogs
Free Room Service at any time
Unlimited coffee and drinks like American Lemonade and Iced Tea
Your cabin is cleaned twice a day
Free child care at the kids clubs
The only main exceptions are alcohol, tips and day trips (See our posts on these topics).
Obviously if you are going to book through school holidays when the ships fill up there will be less discounting.
If you are flexible with your travel dates the cheapest cruises are generally repositioning ones. These are when the ships move from one part of the world to another, due to the weather being more or less favourable to cruising. Just as migratory birds fly across the oceans for the winter, so to do cruise ships. As these are one way voyages this turns a lot of people off because one way airfares tend to be more expensive. And hence why most repositioning voyages have a very high proportion of airline staff as passengers. These also tend to be longer cruises in excess of 2 weeks. See our post about repositioning cruises.
The biggest number of these repositioning cruises are Transatlantic voyages and twice a year (Apr/Nov approx.) literally dozens and dozens of ships move from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean or back. As there are so many, the cruise lines consequently have trouble filling them and they always have to resort to heavy discounting.
So where as a 14 day cruise on a particular ship would normally cost over $2000, when repositioning, the same cabin might be offered for as little as $500. Simply incredible value as that includes all meals.
I have personally down several of these repositioning cruises and videos of them can be found on our video page. One was a 16 night Sydney to Hawaii which was $900 and a 14 night transatlantic at $600.
Once the Cruise Crazies is fully up and running we will be highlighting amazing discounts such as these primarily through our group on Facebook as soon as they are released - hence why you really need to "Like" us on Facebook!
