Best value per night

Every route by value

A 6-night sailing at $561 costs a lot more per night than a 8-night one at the same price. This table takes the cheapest date on every ship and route and ranks them by fare per night, which is the fairest way to compare trips of different lengths. The median across the whole calendar is $78 a night.

Ranked on the starting fares listed here on 2026-11-04, divided by the number of nights. Each sailing shows the date its fare was checked. This shows how far the money goes, not how good the ship is, and we don't hold ratings or reviews. The port count is there so you can weigh a cheap trip with lots of sea days against a busier one. Fares change, so check the current price with the cruise line.
