Question 1

Are any of these cruises all-inclusive?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a number of sailings are all-inclusive, with dining, drinks and other amenities bundled into the fare. Celebrity Cruises' best-value tier includes a drinks package and Wi-Fi; the Princess Plus package covers casual dining meals, beverages, MedallionNet Wi-Fi and crew gratuities. The exact inclusions depend on the cruise line and the fare tier you choose. CruiseAway's cruise experts can walk you through what each tier actually covers before you book.

Question 2

Do I need to fly to join one of these cruises?

Accepted Answer

For most sailings, yes — the embarkation ports are in the United States, Canada and Asia, so a flight is part of the journey. A smaller number of sailings depart from Australian ports such as Brisbane and Sydney, where you may not need a flight at all if you are local, or only a short domestic connection from elsewhere in Australia. CruiseAway can book your international or domestic flights, hotel nights either side, transfers and tours as part of a DreamAway Package, so nothing is left unsorted.

Question 3

How do I know I am getting a genuine deal?

Accepted Answer

CruiseAway's Best Price Guarantee means that if you find the same cruise for less after booking with us, we will match the price. All fares shown in the sale finder are discounted from the previously listed price for that cabin grade on that sailing. Our cruise experts — accredited through CLIA and ATAS — can also explain exactly what changed in the fare and what the saving is based on, so you can book with confidence rather than guesswork.

Question 4

What is a cruise sale finder?

Accepted Answer

A cruise sale finder is a filtered search that shows only discounted sailings — fares that have been reduced from their previous listed price. Rather than browsing an entire catalogue, you see only the sailings on sale, across multiple cruise lines and regions, in one place. CruiseAway's cruise sale finder covers lines including Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Lines, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Virgin Voyages.

Question 5

What is the lowest price available?

Accepted Answer

Sale fares start from A$249 pp*. That price is per person based on 2 people sharing a cabin. The right cabin grade and fare tier for you will depend on the itinerary, the ship and what you want included — our cruise experts can help you compare options across lines and find the combination that suits your budget.

Question 6

Which cruise lines have sale fares?

Accepted Answer

Royal Caribbean has the largest selection of sale sailings, followed by Carnival Cruise Lines, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Virgin Voyages. Each line structures its fares differently — Royal Caribbean offers last-minute fares and promotional rates for additional guests; Celebrity Cruises bundles drinks and Wi-Fi into its mid-tier fare; Princess Cruises includes dining, beverages, Wi-Fi and gratuities in its Plus package. Our cruise experts can compare fare tiers across lines so you know what you are actually getting.
