What to check
Compare these items when you look at “all-inclusive” fares: flights and transfers, drinks (house or premium, all day or with meals), gratuities, Wi-Fi, excursions (one per port, or unlimited), speciality restaurants and travel insurance. A higher headline fare that includes all of these can be cheaper overall than a low fare with lots of extras.
How we chose these cruise lines
We compared what each line includes as standard, using each line’s own information. We sell more than 60 cruise lines, from big family ships to tiny expedition vessels, so these recommendations are based on what each line actually offers: ship size, what’s included in the fare, who it suits and who it doesn’t. Fares, inclusions and ships change, so always check the details for your sailing, or ask a Travel Designer to compare them for you.
