Good to know
Is this a good price?
Not really — Standard is currently about 6% above its 90-day average, roughly $202 a person over, scoring 27. A cheaper date scores better — open the date picker to compare.
When is the cheapest time to sail this route?
The shoulder months in the chart above tend to run lower than peak summer. We track every departure daily, so you can see which date is actually cheapest — not just which one is advertised.
Does booking through us cost more?
No. The price is identical whether you use our link or go direct. We make money only if you book — and we’ll tell you to wait if the price isn’t good.
