13 best all-inclusive cruise lines

Editor's Note

All-inclusive cruising sounds alluring — until you realize that this phrase can mean different things to different cruise lines.

Generally speaking, all-inclusive in the cruise world means that the fare you're quoted includes the cost of your room on a ship (based on double occupancy), port fees and taxes, most meals, gratuities, and alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages.

The most inclusive cruise lines also offer complimentary Wi-Fi, airfare (economy, chartered or business class), all specialty dining (rather than only at select venues) and shore excursions — pretty much everything short of spa and salon treatments, ultrapremium wines and spirits, and purchases such as cigars.

As you might expect, all-inclusive cruises are typically found on luxury or upscale cruise lines and are priced higher because they include so much.

Beyond the truly all-inclusive cruise lines, some more affordable lines offer pricing packages that are more inclusive than the average big-ship cruise. You may be able to opt into an inclusive fare package for a higher cruise fare or get one free as a booking perk.

On some cruise lines, the highest-priced suites come with so many amenities as to make those fares all-inclusive. If you're just looking for all-inclusive alcohol, nearly every cruise line that doesn't already include alcohol in its fares will sell you an all-inclusive drink package that lets you have an open bar experience on board.

Here, we share the 13 best all-inclusive cruise lines where you can enjoy your cruise without ever pulling out your wallet.

All-inclusive cruise lines

Five lines stand out for having the most inclusive cruise fares in the industry. With so many things included in everyone's base fares, you'll mainly pay extra for spa treatments, souvenirs, some shore excursions and ultra-premium drinks.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent Seven Seas Cruises surely ranks as the most all-inclusive luxury line. Just be warned: With so much bundled into the fare, its prices are usually loftier than its competitors.

If tasteful opulence is your style, you will love Regent. Generously sized, all-suite accommodations feature spacious verandas. The multimillion-dollar art collection (think Picasso and Chagall) onboard the newest ships Seven Seas Explorer, Seven Seas Splendor and Seven Seas Grandeur astonishes; you will sail amid multiple museum-quality pieces.

This line's cruise fares include nearly every cruise-related travel expense: business-class airfare on intercontinental flights (economy airfare for domestic flights), transfers between your airport or hotel and the ship, all alternative dining (Chartreuse for Parisian-inspired fare and Pacific Rim for Asian-fusion cuisine are standouts), unlimited beverages, valet laundry service, crew gratuities, Wi-Fi and most shore excursions. Complimentary shore excursions are unlimited, so you can join a couple every day you're in port.

Guests in Concierge Suites and above can count on a one-night fancy hotel stay pre-cruise, with transfers, breakfast and porterage. Select itineraries also offer two- or three-night land programs for free.

What is extra? Spa and salon treatments, hands-on cooking classes in a state-of-the-art culinary workshop, small group or special-interest shore excursions, the fanciest wines and liquors, cigars and sundries.

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, an upscale cruise and tour company known for its luxurious riverboats, now operates two 228-passenger "adventure yachts" — Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II.

These stunning ships are as sleek and sexy as any private yachts custom-built for a billionaire. Think of each as a bliss factory, churning out one mind-blowing complimentary experience after the next. Plus, as ice-class expedition vessels, Scenic's yachts deliver adrenaline-charged activities that adventurous cruisers adore.

Among many inclusions, count on all-suite accommodations with verandas or terraces, butler service for every passenger, up to 10 dining experiences, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, an in-suite minibar restocked daily, Wi-Fi, airport transfers and gratuities, both on board and for excursions ashore.

The included wines and spirits are particularly noteworthy, especially the more than 100 whiskeys. Belly up to one of nine bars and sip your way through the impressive collection.

Most exploration toys, such as Zodiacs, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards, are complimentary. Scenic Eclipse even carries e-bikes, an inflatable trampoline and water skis. Up to 15 onboard expedition experts (20 in polar regions) lead complimentary adventure and enrichment programs on and off the ship.

You will only pay extra for Scenic Neptune, the ship's six-seater submarine, and for a ride on the two helicopters.

Count on divine dining experiences. Sushi@Koko's skilled chefs cut the finest sashimi, flashing knives as if the fish were an art piece. Lumière prepares meticulous modern French cuisine; linger pre- or post-dinner at its sexy Champagne bar.

Senses Spa is steeped in complimentary offerings. Relax on thermal loungers, awaken the senses in showers delivering aromatherapy and multiple jets, take meditation classes, and work out in the gym and yoga and Pilates studio. Unwind in women's and men's saunas, steam rooms and relaxation lounges, and soak away your cares in three plunge pools. You'll only pay for one-on-one fitness sessions and spa treatments.

Seeking casually elegant — think exclusive, country club-like vibe — for an all-inclusive voyage? Meet the seven Seabourn ships, which play up luxury in a sophisticated yet laid-back style. (Seabourn Pursuit, the line's second expedition vessel, debuted in August.)

Seabourn's cruise fares include oceanfront suites with double vanities and living areas (many with private balconies), premium wines and spirits, Wi-Fi, specialty restaurants, 24-hour in-suite dining (served course-by-course), caviar whenever and wherever you like, and gratuities.

The only major add-ons to your tab are airfare and shore excursions, the fanciest wines and spirits, and spa and salon treatments.

Fine dining on Seabourn ships includes an array of complimentary gourmet restaurants, including a dedicated sushi spot and an alfresco restaurant focusing on international cuisine with a twist. The line is soon to replace The Grill by Thomas Keller with Solis, a Mediterranean restaurant focused on fresh and healthy cuisine, all made from scratch on board.

Seabourn has created a Mindful Living Program in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Weil, an esteemed pioneer in integrative medicine. The line offers complimentary classes with Dr. Weil-trained practitioners in guided meditation, as well as free Pure-Form yoga and Pilates group workouts.

Silversea Cruises

Interested in nibbling complimentary caviar and sipping fine Champagne on all seven continents? You are not alone. Silversea Cruises delivers that fabulous perk and much more in its impressive inclusions.

This luxurious Italian-inspired line offers two types of all-inclusive travel, "Port-to-Port" and "Door-to-Door."

Port-to-Port includes all-suite accommodations, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, tuxedo-clad white-gloved butlers for all passengers, basic Wi-Fi, gratuities, laundry room usage and meals in most dining venues, including 24-hour room service with dinner served course-by-course. It also includes one complimentary shore excursion per port; the rest are available for purchase.

You will pay extra for spa treatments, cigars and other purchases like the most exclusive wines and spirits.

Expedition sailings include extra perks in their Port-to-Port fares, such as all in-country economy air travel and pre- or post-hotel night or day use, necessary equipment and gear, and expedition team-led shore excursions.

For all types of Silversea sailings, Door-to-Door travel includes all of the above plus international economy airfare (or an air credit), business-class upgrades and/or in-country flights for select itineraries, pre- and post-cruise hotel nights (depending on flight timing) and airport transfers by private executive car service. This choice aims to eliminate all travel stress, with Silversea handling every detail between your walking out your front door and returning home.

Some other points to note when contemplating Silversea and its benefits: Suites truly are suites, with separate living and sleeping areas. For instance, on the 596-passenger Silver Moon, a spacious entry-level suite rocks a cool 334 square feet. A veranda brings the total square footage up to 387 square feet.

If you book the biggest onboard suites, you are privy to even more freebies, such as valet laundry, unlimited premium Wi-Fi (for faster speed than the included plan) and dinner for two in the fabulous La Dame restaurant.

The ultimate luxury inclusion? Caviar is served whenever you like, wherever you wish to dine, with all the proper accoutrements.

Luxury cruise line Crystal re-launched in 2023, bringing back an all-inclusive onboard experience on two vessels, the 606-passenger Crystal Symphony and 740-passenger Crystal Serenity .

Fares include all ocean-view rooms with butler service for all, fine dining in multiple venues (including one complimentary reservation at Umi Uma by Nobu Matsuhisa Restaurant and Sushi Bar and Osteria d'Ovidio per cruise of up to 11 days), in-suite dining, all beverages, Wi-Fi, a youth program on select voyages and crew gratuities (for housekeeping, bar and dining staff).

You'll be wowed by the friendly and intuitive service on board. With a crew-to-passenger ratio of 1:1, you'll feel pampered every moment of your vacation.

Crystal's signature activities are always complimentary, whether that's lounging around the gorgeous pool by day, challenging new friends to a game of pickleball, enjoying afternoon tea in the Palm Court, ballroom dancing with gentleman hosts or attending performances in the evening.

If you have to take out your wallet, it'll be for ultra-premium liquors, gourmet wine-paired meals in the Vintage room, cigars in the Connoisseur Club, spa treatments and shore excursions.

Cruise lines with more-inclusive fares

Four cruise lines cover more costs in their cruise fares than the average line, but not as many things as the truly all-inclusive lines. We refer to these lines as more-inclusive, not all-inclusive.

If you love a port-intensive cruise on a smaller, upscale ship, Azamara might be the cruise line for you.

Cabins on its older ships are compact yet cozy, with a modern look, but you won't spend much time in them. That's because the line prioritizes getting you to multiple ports and spending as much time as possible on land, with longer stays and evenings ashore.

In keeping with the line's destination focus, Azamara offers a complimentary AzAmazing Celebration on board or ashore on nearly every cruise. These exclusive, no-cost events highlight local culture and performers, often with exclusive access to cool locations.

Also included in every Azamara guest's fares are nonalcoholic drinks (such as specialty coffees and teas, soda and bottled water), as well as an assortment of standard liquors, wine and beer. Crew gratuities and self-service laundry are also included in your fare.

However, you will still have to pay for premium drinks, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, spa treatments and tours.

Azamara does offer several extra-fee packages to make its inclusive fares even more inclusive. Its five "Experience More" packages bundle together extra-fee items (shore excursion credit, Wi-Fi, premium beverages, spa credit, laundry and/or Chef's Table dining) for a roughly 30% discount compared with purchasing those amenities a la carte.

Whether you're sailing Viking 's ocean or river voyages, or the new Viking Expeditions, this cruise line delivers many inclusions for a company that insists it's not a luxury company.

Here's what Viking includes on ocean and expedition sails: one complimentary shore excursion in each port; Wi-Fi; alternative restaurant dining; 24-hour room service; thermal suite spa access; beer, wine and soft drinks with onboard lunches and dinner; specialty coffee, tea and bottled water; and self-service launderettes. If you purchase airfare through Viking, ground transfers are also complimentary.

River cruising also includes the above, except it does not offer alternative restaurant dining, thermal suite spa access, 24-hour room service or self-service launderettes on board.

Cabins are a notch above what you'll find on other premium ships. They come with upscale amenities, such as king-size beds rather than queens, and bathrooms with spacious glass-enclosed showers, heated bathroom floors and anti-fog mirrors.

Perhaps what passengers rave about the most is complimentary access to the Nordic Spa and that awesome thermal suite mentioned above. Breathe deep in the steam bath or sauna, freeze your you-know-what off in the Snow Grotto to wake up every cell (including those you never knew you had) and take a whirlpool, cold-water splash or plunge pool dip. Alternating hot and cold therapies invigorates your mind and body in the best ways.

The complimentary alternative dining inclusions are mighty fine, too. Little feels better than sitting down to an incredible meal in Manfredi's Italian restaurant and not signing a room charge at the end. No corners are cut here for a complimentary meal. Pastas are excellent, but by all means, order the signature bistecca alla Fiorentina , a Florentine-style porcini-and-spice-crusted ribeye steak that makes meat lovers swoon.

The overstuffed house-made bread basket, served with aged Parmesan chunks and high-quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil, is worth the price of admission alone — if there were one in the first place.

Oceania Cruises

Oceania Cruises sails smaller, upscale ships with a focus on fine dining and restaurant variety. It has recently made its cruise fares more inclusive with the introduction of Simply More pricing.

All cruise fares now include free round-trip airfare plus transfers, a shore excursion credit of $600 to $1,600 per cabin to use on the guests' choice of tours in port and a beverage package that covers a selection of wine, beer and Champagne at lunch and dinner.

Oceania already includes nonalcoholic drinks (soda, specialty coffee and tea, smoothies, juice), specialty dining (including meals by celebrity chef Jacques Pepin), Wi-Fi (two devices per cabin), fitness classes and shuttles into town in port.

Virgin Voyages

Virgin Voyages ' goal is to reimagine the cruise experience, which means that it doesn't follow the typical rules of cruising. You'll find tattoo parlors, drag shows, balcony hammocks and a novel approach to fare inclusions.

Onboard Wi-Fi and crew tips — typically extra charges on most mainstream cruise lines — are included in everyone's cruise fare on Virgin. All of its ships' 20+ eateries are complimentary, from the vegetarian restaurant to the Korean barbecue joint, though you may have to make reservations in advance. Select nonalcoholic drinks (including soda, non-pressed juices and sparkling water) also do not incur extra fees. The line's creative and energetic fitness classes are also fee-free; other lines charge $15 to $20 for these.

Virgin does not offer an all-inclusive beverage package add-on and instead claims it offers fair prices for drinks. However, if you purchase a Bar Tab (essentially prepaying for drinks) , the line will throw in extra free money you can use on your bar bill.

Cruise lines with all-inclusive fare classes

A relatively new addition to the all-inclusive cruise fare world is the all-inclusive add-on package . Select cruise lines allow guests to opt into higher-priced fares that include more perks or purchase fare add-ons that grant them extra inclusions. The cruise lines claim that the extra fees are a savings on the a la carte price of the included amenities.

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity Cruises aims to be the cruise line for Gen Xers, and its newest ships are filled with dining variety, resort-worthy bars and plenty of places to grab a seat and gab with your girls, guys or significant other. Innovative cabins let fresh air in without creating under-used outdoor space. The line has also gotten creative with options for more inclusive fares.

Celebrity lets cruisers choose from two fare types: Cruise-Only or All Included. Cruise-Only fares get you the standard cruise amenities, such as meals in the main dining room and buffet, a short list of nonalcoholic drinks (drip coffee, iced tea, juice from a machine at breakfast) and traditional onboard entertainment.

Upgrade to the All-Included fare, and you'll pay more but get more inclusions. (Prices vary by ship, itinerary and sail date.) These fares cover a Classic Drinks Package and Celebrity's Basic Wi-Fi plan. The fares used to cover crew gratuities, but that perk has been phased out.

Alternatively, if you book upper-category cabins and suites, your base fares will include additional perks. Passengers in AquaClass accommodations receive exclusive access to the Blu restaurant, a complimentary thermal suite pass, free fitness classes and discounted spa packages.

Suite guests receive a premium drinks package, premium Wi-Fi, 24-hour in-suite dining and specialty coffees, and exclusive access to the Luminae restaurant and suites-only lounge and sun deck. These fares include concierge and butler service, as well.

Windstar Cruises

Windstar Cruises ' hallmark is casual luxury, so the line lets guests choose how inclusive they want their fares to be.

The line's base prices get you a nicely appointed stateroom, dining in multiple venues with menus by James Beard Foundation-affiliated chefs, and nonalcoholic beverages (such as soft drinks and specialty coffees). Take your pick from small, luxury cruise ships with spacious suites to motorized sailing yachts with gorgeous sails.

If you want one-and-done pricing, passengers can choose All-Inclusive Fares for an additional $89 per person per day. With this plan, guests receive complimentary Wi-Fi, prepaid hotel and beverage gratuities, and an unlimited beverage package, which includes all beers, 33 different wines by the glass, 40 house and select brands of liquor, cocktails made with the included liquors and minibar items.

Princess Cruises

The Love Boat cruise line explores the world on big, but not too big ships, with a particular focus on Alaska sailings . It welcomes everyone from families with kids to retired couples with a variety of onboard offerings and inclusive fare options to suit a variety of budgets and preferences.

Princess Cruises offers its guests two ways to make their cruise experience more inclusive. The Princess Plus Package costs $60 per person per day and includes a Plus Beverage Package (covering drinks priced up to $15 each), Wi-Fi on one device per passenger, two meals at casual extra-fee restaurants, two fitness classes, two premium desserts, unlimited juice bar drinks, free room service delivery and tips for the crew.

For a more all-inclusive experience, guests can purchase the Princess Premier Package at $80 per person per day. With this elevated program, passengers receive a Premier Beverage Package (covering drinks priced up to $20 each), Wi-Fi on up to four devices per passenger, tips for the crew, two meals per guest in the line's extra-fee specialty restaurants, unlimited meals in the extra-fee casual restaurants, unlimited premium desserts and juice bar drinks, free room service delivery, a photo package of three prints plus unlimited digital files and reserved theater seating.

Holland America

Holland America is Princess Cruises' sister line and Alaska rival. It sails midsized ships around the world, catering to a mature cruiser who loves live music, fine dining and a classic cruise experience.

The cruise line also has a similar all-inclusive add-on to its sister. The line's Have It All fares include a shore excursion credit of $100, $200 or $300 per person (based on length of sailing); a Signature Beverage Package covering alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks priced up to $11 per drink; one, two or three comped meals in the line's specialty dining restaurants (based on length of cruise); and a Wi-Fi Surf Package, HAL's basic Wi-Fi package.

The cost to make your cruise all-inclusive is $55 per person per day, added to your cruise fare, and applies only to the first and second guests in each cabin.

Cruise lines with all-inclusive promotions

A few cruise lines take a different approach to all-inclusive cruising and offer inclusions as booking promotions . Depending on the current offer, you are entitled to a slew of included amenities or your choice of only a few.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line is known for its anything-goes attitude: Eat where you want, dress how you like, enjoy the ship as you see fit. Its megaships are known for their variety of dining and drinking venues, as well as onboard attractions that include Broadway-caliber entertainment, go-kart tracks , laser tag, VR game rooms and crazy water slides. Many of the attractions come with fees, so it's easy to find yourself pulling out your wallet again and again on board.

To combat that, NCL has been running some version of its Free at Sea promotion for years, which offers complimentary amenities to make your cruise fare a little or a lot more inclusive. Depending on the current offer, you might be eligible for all the amenities or you might get a choice of some number of them depending on the type of cabin you book.

The included perks vary, but are usually an Open Bar beverage package (covering drinks up to $15 each), one to three free meals for two people in specialty restaurants on board (depending on type of cabin and length of cruise), a $50 shore excursion credit for one person in each port, 75-300 minutes of free Wi-Fi each for two people (based on length of cruise), and complimentary or $99 third and fourth guest fares on select sailings. Sometimes free airfare (buy one ticket and the second guest flies free) is part of the promotion, as well.

Note that guests must pay a 20% gratuity on the value of the Open Bar beverage package and the specialty dining package.

Related: The ultimate guide to Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian also offers a paid upgrade to the Free at Sea perks called Free at Sea Plus. This add-on would upgrade your perks to a Premium Plus beverage package (including all top-shelf liquors, beer and wine plus unlimited still or sparkling bottled water, Starbucks coffee and energy drinks), two extra specialty restaurant meals, a $50 excursion credit for two guests in every port (versus one) and an unlimited Wi-Fi package (no streaming).

The additional cost is $49 per person, per day, for adults and $29 for children; solo adult travelers pay $42 per person.

Royal Caribbean Cruise Deals Guide

When it comes to planning the ultimate getaway, there are so many reasons why cruise vacations rank among the most popular travel options. First of all, they’re completely stress-free. On a cruise vacation, all the planning is taken care of by the cruise line — from the destinations you sail to and the shore excursions available at each port, to a full range of entertainment and activities happening onboard every day. If you’re not a planner, or if the only things you’re looking to focus on during your getaway is savoring great food, relaxing, and soaking up the sights, cruise vacations are the way to go. A cruise vacation is also a great option if you’re traveling with the whole family, especially when you opt for a Royal Caribbean cruise. All of the ships in this cruise line’s fleet offer family-friendly experiences for guests of all ages. Even little ones will find plenty of ways to play with spaces and activities designed for tots to tweens. One of the top reasons savvy travelers love cruising, though, is because of the incredible value it offers. With Royal Caribbean, your cruise fare includes access to most of the ship’s attractions, select dining venues and all of the entertainment onboard. If you want to make your experience even more all-inclusive, you can opt for beverage and specialty dining packages that cover drinks and dinner at some of the most exclusive restaurants in the fleet. On top of all that, the cruise line presents frequent limited-time offers and seasonal sales, making it easy to score big savings when booking your vacation.

I’m ready to start planning my cruise — how can I score the best deals?

Whether you’re looking to book a short getaway or a longer adventure to far-flung destinations, Royal Caribbean makes it easy to save big on everything from your cruise fare to special experiences onboard and onshore. The first step to making sure you get the best deals is to join the cruise line’s email list. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive regular updates on all the latest offers, like deals by destination , kids sail free promotions and flash sales. The savings don’t end when you book your cruise, though. Once you’ve made a reservation, you’ll also receive notifications about special offers for onboard experiences — like discounts on beverage and specialty dining packages, shore excursions, spa services, and more via My Royal Cruise .

Does it pay to plan ahead, or should I wait until the last minute?  

It’s an age-old question — does the early bird really get the worm, or are there perks to taking a “wait-and-see” approach? If you’re booking a cruise vacation, you’ll find there are benefits to both strategies. Planning ahead is a great way to score big savings , as Royal Caribbean often runs early saver deals to guests booking well in advance. It’s also pretty safe to assume prices usually go up as availability goes down the closer you get to your sail date, so booking ahead is a surefire way to lock in a great rate. That said, booking a cruise at the last minute can also yield some unexpected savings — but only if the itinerary you’re interested in hasn’t sold out yet.

If you can be flexible when it comes to your travel dates, you’ll have your pick of unbeatable savings. Popular vacation dates — like the holidays , spring break , summer vacation and week long cruises — sometimes see the highest prices (though you might get lucky with a seasonal sale). If you have the flexibility to travel during the shoulder season or off season, you’ll likely enjoy big savings on popular stateroom categories , like Balconies and even Suites. The deals don’t only apply to your cruise fare, though. Once you’ve booked your vacation, you could easily unlock discounts and specials on add-ons, including beverage and dining packages , Voom® high speed internet, shore excursions, and amazing experiences not included in your cruise fare — like a day of pampering at Vitality SM Spa, a behind-the-scenes tour of the ship’s galley followed by brunch, VIP seating at shows, and much more.

How can I maximize the value of my cruise vacation?

There are plenty of ways to get more bang for your buck when you sail on a Royal Caribbean cruise. Every ship in the fleet offers a range of delicious complimentary dining options , but you can dig into even more crave-worthy flavor by purchasing a Specialty Dining Package for less ahead of your cruise. Add a Specialty Beverage Package — which includes unlimited alcoholic beverages, soda, and more — and your experience is as close to all-inclusive as it gets. And with so many complimentary shows and attractions onboard, you can easily fill every sea day without spending a single dollar extra.

Royal Caribbean also offers deals based on departure ports  and destinations, so if you’re a flexible traveler looking for great savings, you can plan your next vacation around which itineraries are on sale. Just check your email or visit RoyalCaribbean.com/cruise-deals to stay up to date on promotions, sales and special offers. You can even browse sailings and deals by homeport, destination and season, so you can rest assured you’re getting the best possible deal no matter when or where in the world you choose to set sai.

The 12 best all-inclusive cruises for 2024.

The Best All-Inclusive Cruises

Getty Images

Sit back and relax on an all-inclusive cruise vacation.

When it comes to all-inclusive cruises, there are a few different options:

• Luxury cruise lines: All-inclusive cruise rates are available on luxury lines like Regent Seven Seas and Silversea. While more expensive than traditional cruise rates , the fares cover nearly everything, including door-to-door transfers, luxurious suite accommodations, specialty dining , premium alcoholic beverages and excursions. Plus, you don't need to show your cruise card every time you order a latte or a pre-dinner cocktail. You'll disembark the ship with very few, if any, additional charges on your final bill.
• Cruise lines with inclusive pricing: Alternatively, you can consider an upscale cruise line like Viking, which offers fares with more-inclusive pricing and some of the amenities found on board the fully inclusive lines. However, you'll still have to budget for a few expenses, such as immersive excursions and alcoholic beverages beyond wine or beer at lunch and dinner.
• Packages and add-ons: Other cruise lines like Oceania, Windstar and Norwegian offer add-on drink packages and other promos so you can create a more all-inclusive experience.

After comparing the costs between a truly all-inclusive cruise and a sailing with package pricing for the extras, the total price may be closer than you think.

Find your perfect cruise

All-Inclusive Cruises

Regent seven seas cruises.

Courtesy of Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent Seven Seas touts its six ships – with the newest vessel, Seven Seas Grandeur , which debuted in late 2023 – as "the world's most luxurious fleet." The line's intimate ships accommodate up to 750 guests. They feature all ocean-view suites, prestigious museum-quality art collections (including a prized Fabergé egg on the new Grandeur), and itineraries that call on more than 500 destinations around the world.

With Regent's "every luxury included" philosophy and 2-for-1 all-inclusive fares, passengers receive round-trip airfare and transfers between the airport and ship, as well as unlimited shore excursions, two- or three-night land programs (based on the itinerary), and a complimentary pre-cruise hotel package for concierge suites and higher. On the ship, enjoy a fully stocked in-suite minibar; specialty dining; unlimited fine wines, spirits and other beverages; prepaid gratuities; unlimited Wi-Fi; and free valet laundry service.

On top of personalized service, guests sailing on Regent Seven Seas cruises will enjoy immersive exploration ashore – with overnights in some ports of call – and enrichment programs. Top-notch dining includes French cuisine at Chartreuse (on select ships), Pan-Asian fare at Pacific Rim (also on select ships) and Italian fare at Sette Mari at La Veranda.

Cooking classes in the Culinary Arts Kitchen (available on Grandeur, Splendor and Explorer ), some tours and bespoke excursions, spa treatments, unique offerings, and certain wines and top-shelf liquors come with an additional cost.

Silversea Cruises

Courtesy of Silversea Cruises

Sailing on board one of Silversea's 13 ultra-luxury cruise or expedition ships commences with the line's new chauffeur experience. This door-to-door service transports guests from home to the airport and back home on the return trip.

Find the best cruise vacation for you

How can i find a cheap cruise.

Cheap cruise deals are fairly easy to find in most cases, and you can begin by considering what kind of features and itinerary you want. The more simplistic the experience is, the cheaper it is in general. On Expedia.com, you can filter for specific features and sort your results by price. By mixing and matching certain features, unforgettable experiences may be available with discount cruises. For example, booking a cruise with stunning restaurants and live performances while opting for an inside cabin without an ocean view window or balcony could be ideal for a traveler who doesn't plan on spending much time in their cabin anyways

What is the cheapest month to take a cruise?

The cheapest month to take a cruise varies based on your destination and the cruise line company that runs the ship. A Caribbean cruise , for example, is generally cheapest in the late summer and early fall since it's the local hurricane season.

Can I cancel my cruise booking?

Yes, you can cancel, but there may be fees for canceling depending on how far in advance you cancel and what kind of booking you have. You can check the specific cruise lines’ cancellation policies in your itinerary on Expedia.com.

Are river cruises worth the money?

River cruises are quite relaxing, with much more varied scenery than you'd experience on an ocean cruise. These ships often also feature several stops along the river, so passengers can enjoy a greater variety of destinations to explore. Viking river cruises are especially adept at providing this unforgettable experience.

What cruises are best for families?

The best family cruises in 2024 / 2025 tend to be Disney cruises with plenty of offerings for kids and adults alike, though MSC cruises are known for their iconic Children Cruise Free promotion. Disney cruises, specifically, are essentially a Disney theme park on a boat with live shows, rides, and attractions with your kids' favorite characters.

How much does a cruise ship cost?

Cruise prices can vary quite a bit, with cheap cruises and especially luxurious all-inclusive cruises available. Budget lines can offer cruise tickets as low as $50 per night in some cases, while the more high-end experiences can reach up to $1,000 per night and more.

What are some of the best cruise lines?

Several different cruise lines have a lot to offer, such as Viking cruises , which are known for traversing oceans and rivers with a style that blends outdoor and indoor splendor. Celebrity cruise line is more upscale with luxurious features like WiFi, included beverages, champagne, and suites with panoramic views. Other top cruise lines include Royal Caribbean International , Carnival Cruise , Disney Cruise , and Norwegian Cruise .

How far in advance do you need to book a cruise?

It's generally best to book a cruise about 6 to 12 months before your cruise departure. That's the safest way to balance availability and affordability. Technically, you can book earlier or later than that, with some last-minute cruise deals occasionally available up to a weekbefore cruise departure.

Are cruise trips affordable?

They can be, and it's especially simple to search for more affordable cruises with Expedia.com. Not only can you filter by cruise length, cruise line, and cabin experience, but you may also sort your results by price to put the more affordable options first on your search results page.

A cruise is generally designed to offer the most relaxing experience possible. Despite the size of the ship, it's possible to feel the wave. Many passengers report that the movements help them sleep. Additionally, many fun cruises offer live stage performances, several restaurants, and shopping opportunities. When the ship is in international waters, you may even be able to enjoy a bit of tax-free shopping.

Are cruises a good way to travel?

Cruise travel is great if you're looking for some varied fun. Compared to a plane or a train, cruises have their own attractions and can be considered an integral part of cruise vacations. Plus, a cruise can hit several different destinations as well, with plenty of time to enjoy the cruise and scenic locales. It's certainly worth it for a unique experience no other method of travel can match.

Which cruise line is the cheapest?

The actual cheapest cruise available depends on a variety of different factors. Still, Carnival Cruise tends to be very affordable overall, most of the time with great options like the Carnival Sunrise and Carnival Horizon . Royal Caribbean is also another fantastic cruise line offering great deals if you are watching your budget.

How can I get the best cruise deals in 2024 / 2025?

What do I need to know when I book a cruise?

To book a cruise, you'll need to know where you'll be setting off from and where you'll be going, in addition to how many people will be with you and the features of the specific cruise you book. Keep in mind that you'll want to factor in spending money in your budget for the cruise's restaurants and shops in most cases.

Where should I go on a cruise in 2024 / 2025?

Plenty of incredible cruise destinations are accessible such as cruises to the Bahamas and cruises to Mexico . You may also be interested in cruises to Alaska or cruises to Europe for something outside of the Caribbean.

What countries are best to visit by cruise ship?

A lot of countries are accessible via a cruise, but the best include a cruise to Australia . However, a cruise to Australia is quite a long trip at sea and really allows you to take in everything the cruise ship has to offer.

Can I get last-minute cruise deals?

Yes, last-minute cruise deals are often available, and you can find them on Expedia.com by inputting your travel dates in your search and sorting your results by price. The deals will automatically be applied to the price estimates so that the cheapest estimates will show up first on your search results page.

Are cruises all-inclusive?

Cruises aren't always all-inclusive, but they can be. If you're interested in all-inclusive cruises, you can activate a search filter for it to ensure your search results only show cruises that meet your all-inclusive standard.

Is food free on a cruise?

Food is sometimes free on a cruise, but there are often specialty restaurants that aren't included with the general booking that you'll have to pay for separately. Check the details of each cruise before you book in the "What's included" section after clicking the cruise on your search results page.

What cruise lines are adults only?

Several lines offer adults-only cruise experiences, including Viking cruises , Carnival cruises , and Princess cruises . With an adults-only cruise, you can relax in a tranquil and laid-back setting without kids running around and enjoy all the cocktails you want.

What cruise lines are considered to be the most luxurious?

Viking cruises are considered exceptionally luxurious, with smaller ships and larger cabins that make them feel more exclusive, but Celebrity cruises offer luxury cruise lines too. Booking a luxury cruise means you can expect high-end amenities including gourmet restaurants, sizable suites, top-tier performances, massive pools, and much more.

What are the best cruises for couples?

Viking Cruises have much to offer for a more romantic experience. Holland America Line cruises can be quite refined and romantic as well, with an adult-oriented experience that's sophisticated rather than rowdy. Romantic cruises offer exceptional service as well as cozy suites for you and your partner to enjoy that's complemented by delicious food often themed around the cruise destination.

Why should I go on a cruise for my honeymoon?

Going on a cruise is a great way for you and your new spouse to be pampered with luxury while also being able to explore a new destination. Whether you're taking a cruise to Hawaii or a cruise to Bermuda , a particularly romantic experience is almost guaranteed thanks to the sheer number of things to do.

Are there any Christmas cruises?

Yes, quite a few cruise lines operate around Christmas, and you can find them easily by entering travel dates around Christmas into your 2024 cruise search. Some of the most popular Christmas cruises are available with Carnival and Disney.

Do I need a passport to go on a cruise?

Whether or not you need a passport depends on where you're going and the kind of cruise it is. Any US territory like Bermuda and Puerto Rico won't require a passport, of course, but you also don't need one if you're on a closed-loop cruise. This is a cruise that begins and ends at a US cruise terminal, even if there are stops in other countries on the way.

Why should I book a cruise with Expedia.com?

Booking a cruise with Expedia.com makes it easy to find a cruise type that works best for you. You can use the cruise finder and sort by cruise line, type, destination, length, and itinerary. One Key members also earn OneKeyCash on all eligible bookings that can be used to save on future eligible trips.

Add enticing destinations like Japan, Iceland, and Northern Africa to the mix, and the fact that it all happens aboard some of the most stylish and boutique ships at sea, and you can see why all-inclusive itineraries are some of the most popular in the cruise industry.

Read on for everything you need to know about all-inclusive cruises, from booking tips to some of our favorite itineraries.

Is there such a thing as an all-inclusive cruise?

All-inclusive cruises definitely exist, primarily on luxury cruise lines and some upper-premium lines. Award-winning luxury lines Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, and Silversea , all with multiple ships, offer the most inclusions in cruise fares. Upper-premium cruise lines, particularly award-winning Viking, bundle more amenities into cruise prices than other non-luxury lines.

What’s in an all-inclusive cruise?

All-inclusive cruising is a rather tricky term, as each cruise line offering them puts their own spin on the definition. Luxury cruising delivers the most inclusive voyages, typically bundling dining, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, Wi-Fi, 24-hour room service, port and tax fees, and gratuities into fares. 

Some cruise lines bundle in even more enviable perks, such as airfare, either economy, chartered, or business class, airport-to-ship transfers, laundry service, most or all specialty dining, and most or all shore excursions. Sometimes, all-inclusive cruises have special offers to include a pre-cruise hotel night, or pre- or post-cruise land programs, including tours and hotel stays. 

With the best, most all-inclusive cruises , the only extra charges typically appearing on a final bill are spa and salon treatments, private fitness training, premium alcohol, and purchases in boutiques or cigar lounges. 

How much is an all-inclusive cruise?

All-inclusive cruises usually run between $500 to $1,500 per person per day. Multiple factors influence the pricing range: The line’s inclusion level, the competitiveness or exclusivity of the itinerary, and the itinerary date. It's less expensive to cruise during shoulder season, when the weather may be chillier or rainier, say May in Alaska or April on the Mediterranean , versus high season, when the weather is at its best. Price is also influenced if a ship is repositioning (an itinerary transiting from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, for example), which also decreases costs. Consider expedition cruises the priciest as their costs are higher; they sail with multiple expedition experts and much excursion and scientific equipment, plus most or all shore excursions are included. Antarctic luxury sails requiring chartered flights to fly over the Drake Passage are the priciest, and can run up to $3000 per person per day.

What is the best cruise line to go with?

The best all-inclusive cruise lines for 2022 and beyond, in alphabetical order, are Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Scenic, Seabourn, Silversea, and Viking. All showcase stunning ships with all suites (other than Viking) and inviting public venues, and deliver impeccable service and excellent cuisine. 

To assist in deciding which line would be your personal best, look hard at the itinerary and inclusions. For instance, if searching for an Alaskan cruise, know that shore excursions are vital to an in-depth experience. Look for a cruise line including most or all, as those additional costs rapidly add up. Regent Seven Seas and Silversea include most or all shore excursions, as do Scenic and Seabourn expedition ships. 

If you primarily prefer exploring individually, like on a New England fall foliage or Caribbean cruise , you might care more about complimentary specialty dining in-suite and about the ship, and sipping free custom martinis poolside or in buzzy bars. Then select a Seabourn ocean liner, where shore excursions are not factored into pricing. 

Are you a caviar devotee? Look to Seabourn and Silversea for offering free premium caviar, anytime, anywhere, beautifully presented with all the accouterments. If you’re a die-hard foodie idolizing superstar chef Thomas Keller of Napa’s French Laundry fame, choose Seabourn to feast on his dishes at Keller’s only at-sea restaurant and also on Keller-influenced plates in other dining venues.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises hits the gold standard in all-inclusive luxury cruising . Their ships are gorgeous—opulent, even—with multi-million dollar art collections, and dripping in elaborate hand-fashioned crystal chandeliers. Cruise fares include international business class airfare or economy on domestic flights, airport-ship transfers, all-suite accommodations, all dining including specialty restaurants, unlimited beverages including fine wines and spirits, valet laundry service, unlimited Wi-Fi, gratuities, and most shore excursions. In fact, you can take unlimited complimentary shore excursions in each port. In addition, RSSC offers a one-night complimentary pre-cruise hotel for passengers booked in concierge suites and higher. Special offers include free pre and post-land programs on select voyages.  

Cultural wonders of Japan with Scenic

Scenic currently offers one “adventure yacht,”  Scenic Eclipse , with near-twin  Scenic Eclipse II  debuting in 2023. The sleek and glamorous expedition vessel feels most yacht-like among our best all-inclusive cruise list. 

In June 2023, the Scenic Eclipse will voyage throughout Japan , visiting a total of eight cities in the country. Ports of call include Hakodate on the island of Hokkaido—where travelers can hike to the summit of active volcano Mt. Esan for spectacular views or visit the Hakodate Morning Market—as well as stops in Aomori, home to the world's largest virgin beech tree forest, and Hagi, known for its preserved castle town from the Edo era.

Among inclusions, count on all-suite accommodations with verandas or terraces, butler service for every passenger, up to 10 complimentary dining experiences, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages (including a stunningly sexy 100-bottle whisky bar), in-suite minibar stocked with passenger favorites, Wi-Fi, internal country flights, airport-to-ship transfers, all gratuities—even for shore excursions. The spa features many complimentary offerings, such as thermal loungers and meditation classes. As an expedition ship, exploration “toys,” such as Zodiacs, kayaks, and stand-up paddle boards, are complimentary. The only extra exploration fees are for submarine and helicopter rides.   

A terrace onboard Viking, an upper-premium line.

Venice, the Adriatic, and Greece with Viking

Spend eight days cruising the Adriatic and Ionian seas aboard this Viking sailing, which visits four countries across six ports of call. After departing from Venice , one of Viking's ocean ships (several operate this itinerary) will visit Split and Dubrovnik in Croatia; Kotor, Montenegro; as well as Corfu and Katakolon in Greece, before docking in Athens.

As the sole upper-premium line on this list, Viking includes many luxury-line-level perks in the cruise fare. On ocean and expedition cruises, passengers receive one complimentary shore excursion in each port, 24-hour room service, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, soft drinks, beer and wine with lunch and dinner, specialty coffee drinks and tea. If purchasing airfare through Viking, ship transfers are also complimentary. 

Viking’s complimentary spa access is a huge perk, as the Thermal Suite, which includes a steam, sauna, real snow grotto, whirlpool, cold-water splash and plunge pool, is a spa devotee’s dream-come-true. Also, staterooms are more upscale than on competitive premium lines. They feature king, not queen, beds, and oversized bathrooms with anti-fog mirrors, glass-enclosed showers, and heated bathroom floors. 

Silversea's Arctic and Anarctic expedition sailings are part of its all-inclusive cruise offerings.

Iceland, Faroe Islands, Scotland with Silversea

Sailing roundtrip from Reykjavík on board Silversea's newest addition to its fleet, Silver Endeavor , this two-week-long cruise checks off a whopping 19 ports across three countries, including Iceland, Scotland, and the Faroe Islands. Being a more boutique expedition ship, Silver Endeavor is able to ferry passengers to small ports, including Iceland's outer islands, like Vigor Island, home to the Isafjardardjup Fjord and migratory Atlantic puffin colonies.

Silversea delivers a chic Italian-inspired vibe, evoking a luxurious custom-designed Milano home. The line offers two styles of all-inclusive luxury cruising , “Port-to-Port” and “Door-to-Door.” Port-to-Port includes all-suite accommodations, shore excursions, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, butler service for all suites, Wi-Fi, gratuities and meals in most dining venues. Dining includes 24-hour room service served course-by-course. Complimentary premium caviar is available anywhere, anytime. Under the Port-to-Port category for Silversea’s expedition ships, passengers also receive in-country economy airfare, pre or post-cruise hotel day use or overnight and some expedition gear. 

All Door-to-Door cruises add a few extras to all the above inclusions. International economy airfare (or air credit) and airport-to-ship transfers, and roundtrip transfers between home and airport by private car service are among them.  

Seabourn is known for luxe all-inclusive cruise dining perks, like unlimited caviar.

Northwest Africa with Seabourn

Although this sailing departs in 2024, we included it in our list for 2023, as it's sure to sell out quickly. In March 2024, Seabourn will take its expedition ship, Seabourn Venture, to the Northwest coast of Africa for a unique two-week cruise ending in Spain. Departing from Cape Verde, the sailing includes stops in Banjul, Gambia; Dakar, Senegal ; Casablanca and Tangier in Morocco; and Malaga, Spain, among others.

Seabourn Venture includes all-suite accommodations and all other Seabourn complimentary amenities other than The Grill. Most shore excursions are complimentary. A second expedition ship, Seabourn Pursuit, will debut in 2023 with similar all-inclusive features. 

A luxury line with an elegant casual country club ambiance, Seabourn offers numerous high-end inclusions, such as all-suite accommodations, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, Wi-Fi, specialty dining, 24-hour in-suite dining (served course-by-course, if desired), high-end caviar service anywhere, anytime, and gratuities. On Seabourn’s ocean liners, passengers also receive one complimentary dinner at The Grill by Thomas Keller, a restaurant deftly duplicating the world-famous chef’s cuisine, prepared with his favorite high-end ingredients. In addition, many Keller-influenced plates appear on other dining venue menus, such as in the Colonnade. Seabourn features a Mindful Living Program in collaboration with Dr. Andrew Weil, and passengers can take complimentary classes with practitioners trained by the esteemed doctor in meditation and yoga, among the options.

These Are the Best All-Inclusive Cruises to Book in 2023

If you would rather pay more upfront and not rack up added charges while on board, consider these worry-free, all-inclusive sailings..

What you may not realize when you book a standard cruise is that often, there are a lot of things that aren’t included in the cruise fare. On many cruises, a hard-to-beat deal might entice you, but once on board you might get barraged with temptations that can add significantly to your vacation cost. You could have to pay extra for things like sodas, espresso drinks, cocktails, wine, fitness classes, spa treatments, specialty dining, shore excursions, gratuities, and Wi-Fi.

But that’s not the case on all-inclusive cruises, which are typically a more luxurious offering. When you book an all-inclusive cruise, you pay for almost everything upfront. The initial tab may be higher, but you avoid that feeling of being constantly nickeled and dimed. In that way, you’re freer to indulge. Here, we round up some of our favorite all-inclusive cruises where you needn’t worry about many, if any, extras. Lines mentioned below include gratuities and Wi-Fi except where noted. There is an extra charge for spa treatments and shore excursions on the cruises below, unless noted otherwise.

Azamara Cruises

Best for unique shore experiences

AzAmazing Evenings are included shoreside events, such as this traditional Korean fan dance performance in Busan, South Korea.

Courtesy of Azamara Cruises

The four small ships of Azamara Cruises carry a maximum of 704 guests each and operate like friendly, floating boutique hotels. Guests enjoy an open bar serving standard spirits, wines, international beers, bottled water, and soft drinks, though Internet service costs extra. Special golf cruises in conjunction with golf vacation provider PerryGolf come with escorted play at prestigious courses around the world, including Ireland’s Royal Portrush.

Best inclusion: AzAmazing Evenings are extraordinary shoreside events with all guests invited—such as watching dancers, gymnasts, and aerialists of the French troupe Les Farfadais in a private performance at the waterfront Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Best over-the-top, all-inclusive cruise

If you want to feel extra fancy, book an all-inclusive cruise on the “Seven Seas Explorer.”

Courtesy of Regent Seven Seas

On Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ fancy 490- to 750-passenger ships, nearly everything is covered by your cruise fare, from your in-suite minibar to business-class international airfare and shore excursions. Guests stay in roomy suites, sip premium wine and spirits, and enjoy fine dining at complimentary specialty restaurants, all amid extravagant decor—parts of the Seven Seas Explorer , for example, are done up with Carrara marble and gold leaf. Also covered is a precruise night at a luxury hotel at your embarkation port. If you want to show off, you can pay extra for a $1,000 bottle of wine, but you won’t necessarily feel the need.

Best inclusion: Regent’s shore excursions go well beyond the norm. You might do an open-air mud bath experience in Cartagena, Spain, or a marine science, history, and food tour with tastings of local craft beer and salmon in Sitka, Alaska.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Best for socializing

On the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s sleek 298-passenger super-yacht Evrima , exploring the Caribbean and Mediterranean, complimentary Moet & Chandon champagne flows to the backdrop of a friendly and relaxed resort-like atmosphere. Many passengers are on board to celebrate the good life, Ritz-Carlton style. Four excellent restaurants are complimentary, and while there’s an extra charge for top wines and booze, and for a tasting menu by a Michelin three-star chef and the supervised Ritz Kids program, much else is covered in the fare—even cigars from the humidor.

Best inclusion: You can use Marriott Bonvoy points for discounts or to pay for your cruise and you can collect points when you book the Evrima , too.

Best for polar expeditions

Adventure in extreme comfort with Scenic.

Courtesy of Scenic

With its 228-passenger, polar-class expedition yachts, Scenic Eclipse and Scenic Eclipse II (the latter debuting in spring 2023), Australian brand Scenic combines soft adventure and luxury in adventure-rich destinations such as Antarctica and the Arctic. Every suite has an assigned butler, and the ships feature an eye-popping 10 dining experiences. Complimentary beverages include selections from an over-the-top whiskey bar with more than 100 bottles. Also included are Wi-Fi, e-bikes and kayaks to borrow, and shore excursions. You will pay extra for rides in the ships’ helicopters and submarines, though.

Best inclusion: At the Senses Spa, meditation sessions, Pilates and yoga classes, and the tranquil thermal spa with soothing aromatherapy showers and heated loungers are all complimentary.

Best for couples

Dine at a Thomas Keller–helmed steakhouse on Seabourn cruises.

Seabourn’s 458- and 600-passenger ships are like the sexy private yachts of the rich and famous, only better because you get to dine on cuisine by chef Thomas Keller (of French Laundry and Per Se fame). The complimentary wine list is impressive, and premium spirits and good champagne flow freely, too. All culinary experiences are included—even artisanal gelato made fresh on board. Internet access is extra (unless you’re in premium accommodations). The line’s luxurious, 264-passenger, polar-class expedition ships skip the Keller cuisine, but add soft adventure experiences such as Zodiac exploration in Antarctica—plus the pay-extra feature of undersea exploration via six-passenger submarines.

Best inclusion: Whenever you want and wherever you happen to be (even at the pool), order complimentary Regiis Ova caviar.

SeaDream Yacht Club

Best for relaxing in the Caribbean

On these yachts, you won’t have a care (or much added expense) in the world.

After exploring destinations such as St. Bart’s , St. Tropez, and Capri, you can spend your nights dancing barefoot around the pool on SeaDream Yacht Club’s elegantly carefree 112-passenger SeaDream I and SeaDream II . A crew of 95 is available to pamper you with excellent cocktails, wine, and creative meals; except for a splurge-worthy Thai massage and shore excursions, there’s not much reason to add any expenses to your credit card. Among the complimentary treats is the romantic overnight option of sleeping on a Balinese daybed on deck.

Best inclusion: Head onto the water with small sailing catamarans or Jet Skis that are offered from the vessels’ drop-down marina.

Silversea Cruises

Best destinations

Explore the Arctic in style and comfort with Silversea.

In Antarctica and the Arctic, hotel stays, in-country flights, and a parka are among the perks of the polar package.

Courtesy of UnCruise Adventures

The small ships of the UnCruise Adventures fleet carry between 22 and 90 passengers to places where nature is part of the experience—Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, the Galápagos, Hawai‘i, and Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, to name a few. You spend your days hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, or on guided shore tours, and nights socializing with craft cocktails or microbrews before heading to dinner where sustainable fish dishes are accompanied by Pacific Northwest wines and extravagant desserts from the baker on board. The only extra charges are gratuities (10 percent of your fare is the recommended amount). The Galápagos ship is the sole one with Internet access, and it’s free.

Best inclusion: Great signature Bloody Marys with all the trimmings.

Courtesy of Viking

Gratuities are extra.

Great All-inclusive Cruises to Book for Your Next Vacation

Expect smooth sailing when you book one of these all-inclusive cruises, with fares that cover drinks, tips, and other niceties.

On most cruise ships , your accommodations, standard meals, entertainment, and daytime activities are included in your fare. Then the nickel-and-diming begins. Want a soda? Add it to your tab. Take a Pilates class? Expect a fee. Indulge at one of the specialty restaurants? There’s a charge for that, too.

The extras quickly add up, often sinking hearts when the bill arrives at the vacation’s end. But there are cruises that thankfully buck this trend, with minimal to no out-of-pocket expenses. Alcoholic drinks, crew gratuities, and sometimes even airfare, shore excursions, and pre- or post-cruise hotel stays are included in the advertised price when you step on board one of these all-inclusive cruises.

Is an All-inclusive Cruise Worth the Money?

While the best all-inclusive cruises are mostly in the luxury category, there are some more affordable all-inclusive cruise lines that are ideal for family vacations. It's even possible to quantify the perks and often find real value.

One of the most inclusive cruise lines, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, publishes price comparisons showing that when you add in the included air, hotel stay, alcohol, excursions, and gratuities, the price difference between cruising on the more luxurious Regent compared to another big mainstream ship is just a few dollars a day.

Scott Kertes, "Captain of the Ship" at Vacations by Design, said consumers need to carefully note what’s included and compare apples to apples. “In the case of Regent, people might get sticker shock at, say, 20% more, but they are including 40% more. You can literally step on your ship with no money in your pocket.” But on a lot of “all-inclusive” ships, he added, it’s more likely you'll have a lesser bill than no bill at all.

Larry Pimentel, former president and CEO of the cruise line Azamara, said the draw of offering all-inclusive packages is to simplify pricing for its international clientele. A selection of wine, beer, and spirits is complimentary on Azamara cruises; passengers can upgrade if they choose. “If all of a sudden they want a Dom Pérignon Champagne, they are going to have to pay for that,” he said.

Whether you're looking to relax in the sun on a Mediterranean cruise or drift through Asia or Europe on a river cruise , there's likely an all-inclusive option for you. Here’s what the best all-inclusive cruise lines have to offer.

9 Best All-Inclusive Cruise Lines — Options for Ocean and River Cruises Across the World in 2024

For many travelers, a cruise is an easy (and sometimes affordable) way to see multiple destinations in one trip. You can island hop around the Caribbean or Mediterranean. You could additionally sail up the New England coast or the Alaskan coast. You could likewise even see the far-away tropics of Micronesia. The whole time, you barely have to lift a finger. Once you’re on the cruise ship, all you have to do is sit back and relax.

Of course, if you’re specifically looking to get the most out of your cruising experience for the money, you’ll want to look for an all-inclusive cruise package. However, not all cruise lines offer all-inclusive options. Furthermore, you may find that your base cruise fare is affordable, but once you start adding on drink and dining packages, as well as excursions, the cost adds up quickly. Even if the cost isn’t a factor for you, you may be annoyed that, once you’re on board the ship, you suddenly have to pay extra for specialty drinks or dining. 

So, looking for the best bang for your buck and the simplest booking process possible? Then check out these 9 best all-inclusive cruise lines, from the most luxurious to the more budget-friendly. While there may be add-on packages to enhance your trip, you’ll find that most of your needs (and wants!) are covered with just one, simple fee. 

Table of Contents

1. Regent Seven Seas Cruises  

Photo: Expedia

Touted as one of the most luxurious cruise lines in the world, Regent Seven Seas claims that it’s the only “true” all-inclusive cruise line. Your luxurious accommodations, dining, shore excursions, entertainment, and activities — everything you would expect is included, but then there’s also so much more. The cruise line even takes care of your flights to the port destination, too! Additionally, shore excursions are unlimited.

Pros: Just about every single thing you could want during a cruise is covered in the price of your fare.

Cons: With so much included and so many extra, luxurious touches, this cruise line charges top dollar.

Inclusions: Round-trip airfare, land programs, pre-cruise hotel stays, airport transfers, unlimited shore excursions, unlimited beverages, dining, gratuities, and WiFi.

Add-Ons: But for all of Regent’s claims that the line is truly all-inclusive, it does charge extra for a few things, such as spa treatments, shopping, and special activities. 

Ports and Destinations: Regent Seven Seas sails to destinations all over the globe and even offers world cruises if you just can’t decide on a single continent to explore this vacation. 

Ships: Seven Seas Grandeur, Seven Seas Splendor, Seven Seas Explorer, Seven Seas Voyager, Seven Seas Mariner, and Seven Seas Navigator. 

Audience: Big spenders and luxury travelers, especially those in the older crowd. Those looking for a party atmosphere or a place for the kids to run wild will not prefer this option.

2. Seabourn  

Seabourn is another luxury cruise line, but its inclusions aren’t quite as vast as what you’ll get with Regent Seven Seas. Still, you’ll hardly be wanting anything on one of these intimate small ships. Expect a refined experience with a high level of service. Along these lines, the crew-to-cruiser ratio is an impressive 1:1. 

However, do note that since Seabourn does specialize in small ship cruises, you won’t get all the amenities that you might find on a mega cruise ship. Accordingly, prepare yourself for smaller numbers of restaurants, fewer activities, and fewer pools. 

Pros: Seabourn offers a very high level of personalized service in an intimate atmosphere. The brand also has a robust rewards program, through which you can even earn a free cruise. 

Cons: Small ships come with fewer options. Additionally, because this is a luxury cruise line, prices are higher than what you might find elsewhere. 

Inclusions: Suite accommodations, in-suite bar, wines and spirits, all dining, gratuities, water sports, concierge service, valet service, personal shopping services, and luggage shipping.

Add-Ons: Extra services and amenities are available for a fee on the ship, such as cabana rentals.

Ports and Destinations: Seabourn sails to destinations worldwide and also offers global sailings. 

Ships: Seabourn Pursuit, Seabourn Venture, Seabourn Ovation, Seabourn Encore, Seabourn Quest, Seabourn Sojourn, and Seabourn Odyssey.

Audience: Luxury travelers, specifically those who value a high level of service and an intimate atmosphere with no crowds.

3. Scenic  

Photo: Cruise Critic

Like Regent Seven Seas, Scenic claims that it’s another “truly” all-inclusive cruise line. Scenic, however, sets itself apart by not just taking travelers to the same ol’-same ol’ popular cruise ports, but also to destinations that larger cruise ships just can’t access. You’ll find itineraries that take you through the famed rivers of Europe and Asia, as well as small-ship itineraries designed with adventuring in mind, with trips to the Arctic and Antarctica.

Pros: Scenic goes to a few unique destinations that its competitors do not. 

Cons: Reviewers report that the service is less than stellar and foodies may be disappointed by the options. 

Inclusions: Airport transfers, tour experiences, meals, beverages, in-suite bar, shore excursions, gratuities, bike rentals, butter service, WiFi, and internal country flights as needed during your cruising itinerary. 

Add-Ons: Extra add-ons will include special adventure activities, such as submarine excursions or helicopter rides. Spa treatments and fitness classes are also extra. 

Ports and Destinations: Scenic sails to major cruising destinations around the world, but it sets itself apart by also offering river cruises in Europe and Southeast Asia . 

Ships: Scenic Spirit, Scenic Eclipse, Scenic Eclipse II, Scenic Sapphire, Scenic Diamond, Scenic Gem, Scenic Azure, Scenic Crystal, Scenic Jewel, Scenic Jade, Scenic Jasper, Scenic Opal, Scenic Amber, Scenic Pearl, and Scenic Ruby.

Audience: Luxury travelers who want an adventure.

4. Silversea Cruises  

Photo: Silversea Cruises

Silversea hasn’t always been fully all-inclusive, but that’s exactly the experience that travelers will find on Silversea’s ships these days. Silversea offers a nice blend of luxurious relaxation and entertainment and excursions, so most travelers will find plenty to keep their itineraries full, no matter why they like cruising. The ships are on the smaller side, though, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re more accustomed to sailing on mega-ships.

Pros: Silversea is known for its large accommodations, as well as its fine dining.

Cons: Unlike cruise lines that try to set themselves apart with river cruises or bucket-list adventure activities, Silversea offers more of your traditional cruise experience, just with an elevated upgrade. This is a pro for some, but a con for many. 

Inclusions: Door-to-door transfers, shore excursions, dining, butler service, drinks, WiFi, gratuities, laundry service, and entertainment.

Add-Ons: You can add on extras such as airfare and extra shore excursions, as well as spa treatments and shopping. 

Ports and Destinations: Silversea travelers to a range of major destinations across the entire world and also offers global sailings. 

Ships: Silver Cloud, Silver Dawn, Silver Endeavor, Silver Moon, Silver Explorer, Silver Muse, Silver Nova, Silver Origin, Silver Ray, Silver Spirit, Silver Shadow, Silver Whisper, and Silver Wind. 

Audience: Luxury adult travelers, both young and old, looking for a refined experience

5. Holland America   

So, you won’t automatically get an all-inclusive package when you book just any cruise with Holland America, but if you simply choose the “Have It All” option when you book, you’ll enjoy all the all-inclusive amenities you need. Do note, however, that this all-inclusive option is only available on cruises that are six days or longer. 

Holland America is likely one of the more well-known and longest-standing cruise lines to offer an all-inclusive option. However, the line isn’t quite as high-end as some of the others. While this may mean that you’re not sipping Champagne and eating caviar poolside, it does mean a more low-key atmosphere (think smart casual), if that’s what you’re after. 

Pros: Holland America offers everything you might want from a traditional cruising experience, just all-inclusive. 

Cons: The all-inclusive package is only available on certain cruises. 

Inclusions: Dining, drinks, shore excursions, service fees, and WiFi. 

Add-Ons: If you don’t purchase the Have It All package, you can add on extras as you cruise, just like you might during any cruise. 

Ports and Destinations: Holland America travels to every continent.

Ships: Eurodam, Koningsdam, Nieuw Amsterdam, Nieuw Staendam, Noordam, Oosterdam, Rotterdam, Volendam, Westerdam, Zaandam, and Zuiderdam. 

Audience: The vibe is senior-friendly.

6. Viking  

Viking is an award-winning cruise line that offers a blend of ocean and river cruises . It also offers a few “expedition” experiences that will take you to unique destinations such as Antarctica. Viking sets itself apart in a few ways, though. It’s one of the few luxury-leaning cruise lines to offer a Mississippi River cruise. It’s also one of the few all-inclusive cruise lines to include spa services in its inclusions. 

Like Holland America, Viking also offers a lower-key environment than what you might find on other, premium cruise line vessels. Things are still refined, but you won’t get a side eye if you don a pair of shorts and your favorite sandals. 

Pros: The Viking experience is premium without being overly formal. The cruise line also offers a nice variety of itineraries and destinations. 

Cons: There’s not always a lot of flexibility when it comes to making onboard restaurant reservations and/or shore excursions. If you like to pick what you’re doing for the day or where you’re eating that night on the fly, you might find this frustrating. 

Inclusions: On-shore excursions, WiFi, select drinks, dining, fitness classes, laundry service, airport transfers, and spa services.

Add-Ons: You may have to add on extra drinks and extra shore excursions, as well as gratuities. You can sometimes also add on airfare. 

Ports and Destinations: Viking offers ocean cruises throughout Scandinavia, Northern Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Asia, and Australia. River cruises are available in Europe, Asia, Egypt, and North America. 

Ships: Viking’s ocean ships include Viking Star, Viking Sea, Viking Sky, Viking Orion, Viking Jupiter, Viking Venus, Viking Mars, Viking Neptune, and Viking Saturn. 

Audience: Retirees make up the bulk of passengers here and kids are not allowed.

7. Virgin Voyages  

Photo: Virgin Voyages

You’ve likely noticed that many of the all-inclusive cruise lines on our list cater to the older set. However, if that’s not really your crowd and you want a cruise where you can let your hair down and have a good time, then consider Virgin Voyages. The adults-only cruise line is luxurious but never stuffy.

The one thing, though, that you have to keep in mind with Virgin is that it’s a brand-new cruise line. This means it’s still working out the kinks. It’s figuring out its operations. It also only has a handful of ships (though the fleet is growing) and only travels to a handful of destinations. Still, if you can snag your spot on one of these vessels, you may just find your new favorite way to travel. 

Pros: Virgin offers a very unique, youthful vibe that you just won’t find on similar cruise ships. Travelers rave about the staterooms, as well as the onboard dining. 

Cons: Virgin has a limited number of ships and itineraries. Additionally, the cruise fares aren’t as inclusive as what you’ll get elsewhere. 

Inclusions: Dining, non-alcoholic drinks, WiFi, gratuities, entertainment, and fitness classes.

Add-Ons: Unfortunately, alcoholic beverages are only sold per drink. Spa treatments and shore excursions are also extra.  

Ports and Destinations: The Caribbean, Europe, and South Pacific. 

Ships: Scarlet Lady and Valiant Lady 

Audience: While the cruise line is adults-only, the crowd skews younger.

8. Oceania  

Oceania similarly offers a lot of inclusions, but maybe not as many inclusions as some other cruise lines. It’s very nearly all-inclusive. You’ll find that you get special perks like round-trip airfare if you book the correct Oceania Cruises package, but you might still be stuck paying for random items otherwise, like access to top-tier dining options. 

Regardless, if you don’t mind a little extra-carefully shopping for the best cruise fare from Oceania that’s going to encompass the things that matter most to you, then you might find you like this cruise line. 

Oceania offers small ships and better prices than you might get with some of the other small-ship cruise lines we’ve mentioned on our list so far. That’s the trade-off for the lack of complete all-inclusive rates. You might have to pay here or there for something extra, but overall, you’ll get a more affordable cruising experience.

Pros: Oceania is known for providing small-ship environments at an agreeable price, with an adult, upscale atmosphere. 

Cons: Oceania’s service isn’t as highly rated or as personalized as what you might get with other cruise lines. Reviewers also report that Oceania lacks a little in the entertainment department. 

Inclusions: Depending on the package you book, you’ll get round-trip airfare, dining, WiFi, drinks, shore excursions, and hundreds of dollars of ship credits to spend.

Add-Ons: Oceania offers a wide range of add-on packages that you can mix and match to create your perfect cruising experience. 

Ports and Destinations: Oceania travels all over the world and also offers around-the-world cruises. 

Ships: Oceania Marina, Oceania Nautica, Oceania Riviera, Oceania Tahitian Princess, Oceania Regatta, and Oceania Insignia. 

Audience: Adult travelers looking for a (relative) good deal.

9.   Azamara  

With small, intimate ships and an impressive crew member-to-cruiser ratio, Azamara provides personalized experiences across its handful of ships. The experience is very similar to what you might find on a standard cruise ship but slightly upgraded and geared toward adults only. You’ll find that you need to book a better stateroom or suite to get more and more free amenities, so keep that in mind as you shop for your ideal cruise.

Pros: Azamara provides intimate, boutique-style settings for cruisers across a wide range of age groups.

Cons: To get the fully all-inclusive experience with Azamara, you’ll have to book a higher-end suite. 

Inclusions: Inclusions differ according to what room type you book, but can include dining, gratuities, drinks, laundry service, concierge service, WiFi, in-room bar, butler service, tea service, and onboard credits.

Add-Ons: If you book a simple stateroom, then you may end up paying for add-ons such as specialty dining, WiFi, laundry service, or high-end spirits. 

Ports and Destinations: Azamara sails to the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Australia and New Zealand, South America, Asia, Africa, Northern & Western Europe, and the Panama Canal. 

Ships: Azamara Journey, Azamara Onward, and Azamara Quest  

Audience: The audience aboard an Azamara cruise ship will differ according to your itinerary. Shorter itineraries tend to skew younger, while longer itineraries skew older. Overall, though, the cruises are geared toward adults.

Comparing the 9 Best All-Inclusive Cruise Lines 

How to book an all-inclusive cruise .

So, do you have your eye on one of the above cruise lines? If you’d like to give one of these all-inclusive cruise lines a try, there are a lot of different ways to go about booking your cruise . From cruise-specific booking websites to online travel agencies to cruises available through airlines and hotel rewards programs, your options are vast. Of course, you can also always book directly with the cruise line.

If you’re looking for the most streamlined, easy process, you may want to book directly with your chosen cruise line. In fact, you may find that, with some of the more exclusive, luxurious cruise lines, this is the only way to do it.

However, if you’re trying to snag a great deal, consider looking at the options available from your favorite travel rewards program, or check out favorite travel booking hubs like Expedia or Priceline. 

Further Reading: Can You Bring Food, Alcohol, Water, & Snacks on a Cruise Ship? and Best Credit Cards for Booking Cruises .

In most instances, no. You’re not going to be able to roll up to the cruise ship and get every single thing you want, for free once you’ve paid your cruise fare. Even with the cruise lines that claim they’re “the most” or “the truest” all-inclusive line, they’ll still charge you extra for things like on-ship shopping, spa treatments, or extra liquor or cigars, depending on the line.

It all depends on your travel style. If you know you like to let your hair down and have more than a few drinks during a cruise, you could benefit from not paying for all of those drinks separately. Likewise, if you’re into cruising for shore excursions, you might save cash by booking with a cruise line that offers unlimited shore excursions included in your fare.

While your options will be slightly more limited if you’re trying to book an all-inclusive cruise on a budget, it’s worth taking into consideration how much money you’ll save by going the all-inclusive route. An all-inclusive cruise might just be more budget-friendly than you think, in the long run, despite the initial sticker shock.

Find unbeatable deals and new experiences by taking a trip on the open ocean. Discover delicious cuisine and all-inclusive amenities aboard a luxurious cruise ship.

The Advantages of Last-Minute All-Inclusive Cruises

1. unbeatable deals.

One of the most enticing aspects of last-minute all-inclusive cruises is the potential for unbeatable deals. As departure dates draw near, cruise lines often reduce prices to fill remaining cabins. This opens up opportunities for savvy travelers to enjoy luxurious voyages at a fraction of the original cost. The spontaneity of last-minute bookings can lead to surprising affordability, making cruising accessible to a wider range of individuals.

2. Flexibility in Itineraries

Last-minute cruises offer a level of flexibility that appeals to those with unpredictable schedules or a desire to explore without a set plan. After all, living on a schedule can be tiresome after a while. With numerous cruise itineraries available, ranging from tropical paradises to historic European cities, spontaneous travelers can choose from a variety of destinations that match their interests.

3. Avoiding Overplanning Stress
