Affiliate disclosure

The Cruising Insider is reader-supported. When you click a price link or a button such as "Check prices on CruiseBound" and book a cruise, we may earn a commission. You don't pay more because you used our link.

Who pays us

• CruiseBound, through the impact.com affiliate network. Most price buttons on this site open a matching search on CruiseBound.
• Some cruise lines directly. A few lines have their own affiliate programs, and buttons on those lines' pages may go to the line's own booking site.

How affiliate links look

Affiliate links on this site go through addresses that start with /go/. They are marked as sponsored links for search engines, open in a new tab, and there is a short disclosure next to the first one on every page.

What commissions don't change

Rankings and verdicts follow the criteria in how we rate cruises. A line doesn't rank higher because it pays us, and lines we have no arrangement with are covered the same way. We don't accept payment for reviews or placements, and we don't accept free cruises in exchange for coverage.

Cookies from partners

When you click an affiliate link, the partner's site may set a cookie so it can credit the booking to us. See ourprivacy policy for details.
