Why book your cruise with us

The cruise is only half the trip

Our AI concierge helps you compare styles, lines and cabins, and gives price estimates for your flights and for hotel stays in the port cities. Once it knows who is sailing, it shows live fares from our cruise booking site for matching sailings, so you can add a cabin to your trip total; book there, or ask your advisor to review your sailing and book the whole trip.

  • Arrive early, stay on after

    A night in port before you sail gives a delayed flight room to recover. We book the flights and hotels on both ends.

  • A cabin that suits how you sleep

    Deck, position, balcony or suite, weighed against how you travel and what you want to spend.

  • Airport to pier, sorted

    Airport, hotel and pier transfers timed around the ship’s schedule, with child seats arranged where the provider offers them.

  • One contact, ship and shore

    The advisor who books your sailing also handles the hotels, the transfers and any change of plan.

Good to know

Cruise questions, answered

Questions first-time cruisers often ask. Every line sets its own rules, so treat these answers as a starting point.

How do I choose the right cabin?

Think about how much time you’ll spend in it. Inside cabins cost the least, ocean-view cabins add natural light, balconies give you private outdoor space, and suites add room and often extra perks. Cabins midship on lower decks tend to feel the least motion. Families should ask about connecting cabins and how many guests each cabin sleeps.

What is usually included in a cruise fare?

On most mainstream lines the fare covers your cabin, the main dining rooms, much of the onboard entertainment and the ship’s itinerary. Specialty restaurants, drinks, Wi-Fi, shore excursions and gratuities are often extra, and taxes and port fees are sometimes quoted separately. Luxury and many river lines include more. Inclusions vary by line and fare, so your advisor will set them out before you book.

When should I book?

For popular itineraries, school breaks, suites and connecting family cabins, booking well ahead — often a year or more — gives the widest choice. Alaska, Europe in summer and expedition voyages tend to fill early. Closer-in offers do appear, but usually with fewer cabins and dates to choose from.

Do I need travel insurance for a cruise?

We strongly recommend it. Medical care at sea and evacuation from a ship can be very expensive, and your usual health plan may not cover you outside your home country. A good policy can also help with trip cancellation, missed connections and delayed or lost baggage. We can help you compare options.

Is a cruise a good first trip with young children?

Often, yes: one cabin for the whole trip, naps and meals on your schedule, and a kids’ club when everyone needs a break. Check each line’s minimum sailing age for infants (commonly six months, and older for some longer voyages), the age ranges of its kids’ clubs, and whether connecting or family cabins are available. A shorter sailing is a good first taste.
