What's inside

Every way to pay less for the same cabin.

Cruise lines publish one price and quietly offer others. The guide walks through each one, who qualifies, and how to ask.

  1. 01

    Military & veteran rates

    Active duty, veterans and often their families. Most major lines offer them.

  2. 02

    Age 55+ fares

    Senior rates that show up only when someone asks for them.

  3. 03

    Teachers & first responders

    Educator, police and firefighter offers that change by line and season.

  4. 04

    Past-guest loyalty pricing

    Sailed before? Your loyalty tier can unlock fares and perks.

  5. 05

    State-resident specials

    Some sailings are cheaper if you live near the port.

  6. 06

    Price-drop rechecks

    If the fare falls after you book, an agent can often reprice it before final payment.

  7. 07

    Onboard credit offers

    Spending money for drinks, excursions and the spa, added to your booking.

  8. 08

    Shoulder-season sailings

    The weeks when the same itinerary costs far less.

  9. 09

    Group & family perks

    Reunions, weddings and friend trips can earn amenities for the whole group.

Your Way Vacay TipA rate drop is different from a promotion. When a cruise line lowers the fare on your sailing, we may be able to reprice your booking at the lower rate, so we keep watching your fare after you book.

“From the moment we contacted Erik Foster of Avoya he was very helpful and knowledgeable as well as being very easy to deal with and responsive. ... when a hiccup developed along the way with a missed airport delay and we were struggling to reach the cruise line contact, Erik stepped in on an early Sunday morning and facilitated reaching the transfer agent.”

FAQ

Good questions, quick answers

Does it cost more to book through you?

No. There are no booking fees. Cruise lines and resorts pay us, and our Low Price Guarantee means you won't find the same booking cheaper by going direct.

Is the guide really free?

Yes. Enter your name and email and you can download it right away. You'll get occasional deal alerts after that, and you can unsubscribe in one click.

Do you only do cruises?

Cruises are our specialty, but we also plan all-inclusive resorts, flights, hotels and cars, group trips and destination weddings.

What happens after I request a quote?

An agent reviews your trip, checks which discounts you qualify for, and contacts you by email or phone with options. There's no obligation to book.
