Cheapest Cruises from Boston

Finding the cheapest fares for a cruise can be challenging. Following are some ideas on how to save money on Boston cruises

Booking Early - In general terms, booking early (120-90 days before sailing) can be a good strategy for the best price with the most options in accomodations.
Booking Late - If you have flexibility about traveling dates and accommodation options, booking late can work very well. Ships often have to use last-minute discounts to fill every berth possible. Last minute rates are often available around 90-45 days before sailing, and then again shortly before departure.
Repositioning Cruises - Cruise ships are often moved from one cruising route to another, which is called “repositioning”. These cruises are of often greatly discounted and include many sea-days. Good examples are cruises to the Caribbean from Boston.
Inside Cabins - Inside Cabins are on the inside of the ship and have no window. They offer significant savings (sometime over 80%) when compared to a cabin with a balcony. Since you are rarley staying in the cabin, this does not amount to a great sacrifice. For example, on a Bermuda cruise with Norwegian out of Boston, the inside price for a week is $599. If you want an ocean view it is $749. and if you want a balcony it is $1399. Finally if you want to stay in a suite, it will cost you $4199. Lots of oportunity to save!
Older Ships - Older ships can offer great deals as most people want to cruise on the latest and newest ships.
Discounts - Ask for discounts for seniors, military, police officers and union members. Some Boston cruise lines also offer discounts for people living in New England
