Cruise Calculator

Add the fare, excursions, gratuities and travel to see what a cruise will really cost.

How this calculator works

Enter the cruise fare, shore excursions, gratuities and the cost of getting to the port. The calculator adds them for a trip total. The advertised fare often covers cabin, meals and basic entertainment, while drinks, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, excursions and tips are extra.

Example

A cruise fare of $2,200 with $650 of excursions, $350 of gratuities and $500 to travel to the port. The calculator shows: Trip Cost: $3,700.00.

Tips

Check whether gratuities are charged automatically each day and how they are shown on your bill.
Price drinks, Wi-Fi and specialty dining before you go. They can be a big part of the total.
Arrive at the departure port a day early so a delayed flight does not make you miss the ship.

Common questions

Are gratuities included in the fare?

Often not. Many cruise lines add a daily service charge. Check your cruise line’s policy and enter the total here.

Should I buy travel insurance?

It is worth pricing, since cancellation or medical issues can be costly. Read what the policy covers before you buy.
