Getting a great deal on a cruise is getting harder. Strong demand for cruises over the past couple of years has allowed cruise lines to raise fares significantly and cut back on last-minute discounts to fill unsold cabins.
As a result, the fares you'll find for cruises this year are significantly higher — by 20% or more — than they were just a few years ago.
So, how do you get the best cruise deal if you're trying to book a cruise for this year and beyond? To start: Don't panic. Even if fares don't come down soon, you can find ways to save when booking a vacation at sea.
