How to cruise for free
The most reliable way is to bring your people. Organize a group of 8 or more cabins, about 16 guests, and you sail for free.
The group method
- Pick a sailing. Choose the ship and dates, or ask us to suggest a few that suit your group.
- Gather 8 or more cabins. About 16 guests: family, friends, a club, a wedding party, anyone who wants to sail together.
- Book as one group. We set it up with the cruise line under your name as organizer, and your cruise is free.
Every cruise line offers group terms like these, and some offer better ones. Read the details.
Other ways to cut the cost
Not organizing a group? These can still bring the price down, and sometimes all the way to free.
Casino offers
Cruise lines send free and discounted cruise offers to guests who play in the onboard casino.

Onboard credit
Money to spend on the ship from promotions and booking perks. It won't cover your fare, but it can pay for the extras.

Loyalty status
Every cruise line rewards repeat guests. Some perks can take a real bite out of what your next sailing costs.
