The Best All-Inclusive Cruises

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.

All-Inclusive 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

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. The line's all-inclusive pricing also encompasses international or domestic flights (with business class upgrades in certain destinations), pre- and post-cruise hotel accommodations, butler service in every suite, all gratuities, gourmet dining, and complimentary alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, including Champagne.

Guests will also enjoy a staff-to-guest ratio of nearly 1-to-1 – and with no more than 728 guests. Other all-inclusive perks include at least one shore excursion in each port plus onboard lectures and programming. On expedition sailings in destinations like Antarctica , all guided Zodiac tours and landings are included in the fare.

When it comes to dining on Silversea ships, gourmet options feature French, Asian and Italian cuisine along with other international fare. For a special evening, S.A.L.T. Kitchen is a new destination-focused concept on Silver Ray, Nova , Moon and Dawn . This immersive dining experience, Sea And Land Taste, was developed in partnership with the former editor-in-chief of "Saveur Magazine," Adam Sachs. The culinary offerings with S.A.L.T. also include shore excursions, where guests can tour a 500-year-old family winery and vineyard in Croatia, visit an organic farm in Denmark, or learn to make gelato in Sicily.

Expenses not covered in Silversea's fare include salon and spa services, personal training sessions, select excursions, upgraded internet packages, and special bottles of wine or liquors.

Seabourn is also a member of the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, an international association of gastronomy.

Atlas' high-end boutique ships cater to just 198 passengers and feature spacious staterooms and suites with panoramic windows or private balconies and beautiful public spaces and lounges. These small ships also have several options for dining, depending on the sailing and destination.

More-Inclusive Cruises

Cruise fares with these lines include many of the amenities and perks that you'll find with the all-inclusive cruises. However, you'll still need to budget for some expenses, such as alcoholic beverages, excursions and specialty dining, depending on the line.

Courtesy of Viking Cruises

Viking's ocean fleet of nine 930-passenger all-veranda ships offers a nearly all-inclusive experience for guests. The upscale Scandinavian-inspired ships feature king-bed staterooms and suites with many amenities, including luxurious linens and plush robes, 24-hour room service, and free Wi-Fi – plus an in-room minibar with soft drinks, water and snacks.

Select excursions, pre- or post-dinner cocktails, spa treatments, special bottles of wine, and other optional purchases come at an additional expense.

Azamara's four upscale boutique ships carry a maximum of 702 guests and offer immersive experiences around the world, calling on many smaller, lesser-known ports. The line also boasts more than 380 overnights and 850 late nights in port, so guests can have dinner in town and experience more of the destination's local culture and cuisine.

Azamara's cruise fares include all meals (other than the specialty dining restaurants) with water, tea and coffee. A selection of complimentary wine, sparkling wine, beer and spirits is available throughout the voyage. Cultural evenings ashore or on board the ship and gratuities are also included in the basic cruise fare.

If you'd like to enhance your onboard experience, Azamara offers inclusive "Experience More" packages that are discounted and based on the length of the voyage.

For example, on a seven-day or shorter sailing, solo travelers can add a package for $799 that's valued at $1,114 (a savings of 28%). This value-add bundle includes $350 of onboard credit to use for shore excursions; unlimited Wi-Fi for one device; a drinks package featuring premium wines, spirits and bottled water; a $150 spa credit; and a dinner at the Chef's Table or a total of three nights of specialty dining at Prime C or Aqualina. Three bags of laundry are also included.

Guests can book similar packages for double occupancy staterooms and longer voyages. You can also choose individual beverage, dining or internet packages if you don't need the extra amenities or features of the bundled options.

Add-on Packages and All-Inclusive Fares

With the optional packages, guests can create a mostly all-inclusive voyage with bundles of add-on extras, such as shore excursions, beverage packages, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, gratuities or shipboard credit to cover miscellaneous personal expenses such as spa treatments or a bottle of wine for a special celebration.

Oceania Cruises

Oceania's eight small luxury ships carry between 648 and 1,238 guests. The line's newest ship – Vista , the first Allura Class vessel – debuted in Rome in May 2023.

Celebrity Cruises

Celebrity offers special rates and packages throughout the year that save money over a la carte pricing – and elevate your onboard experience to be more inclusive. You'll be able to access the best deal on the added perks if you book the upgraded package before you sail, saving up to 40 to 50 percent of the actual cost.

The line's "All-Included" package bundles the most popular add-ons for cruisers: a standard beverage package for alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks, unlimited basic Wi-Fi, and gratuities for the staff and crew. Pricing depends on the stateroom or suite category and sailing.

There are other options when booking a cruise with Celebrity to create a more upscale and all-inclusive experience. Guests staying in all-suite The Retreat have exclusive access to a sundeck (on select ships), a lounge and Luminae – a private restaurant that features Global Culinary Ambassador Daniel Boulud at the helm.

It’s easy to wish you had more time in your departure port, but it can be tricky when the focus of the day is to embark your ship. However, if you book a Cruise and Stay holiday you can arrive several days in advance of the sailing, live the high life in a pre-arranged hotel and explore the city to the max.

Cruise specialists, Iglu Cruise , offer a raft of tailor-made Cruise and Stay holidays 2024 and beyond, ensuring holidaymakers get their fix of turf and surf.

With Cruise and Stay deals, plus special promotions, you can enjoy significant savings compared to planning individual components of your trip. Take advantage of early booking discounts, onboard credits, exclusive perks and more to make the most of your holiday budget.

What’s more, unlike conventional holidays, where you’re confined to a single location, tailor-made Cruise and Stay holidays offer unparalleled flexibility and you can enjoy the freedom to curate your itinerary according to your interests and preferences. It’s no surprise that Cruise and Stay holidays are a super way for beginners to dip their toes into the cruise universe!

Iglu Cruise reveals top 2024 trends

• Sheena Adesilu
• December 14, 2023

All-inclusive sailings, family trips, combination holidays and themed cruises are among the top trends for 2024, according to Iglu Cruise.

The cruise travel agency has shared its predictions for the year ahead, based on booking patterns and customer insights.

Travellers are opting for all-inclusive sailings, particularly where no tipping is required. Multi-generational trips during the school holidays are also gaining traction, with more family cabins becoming available.

Demand for combination holidays has led to Iglu Cruise’s new ‘spice route’ voyage from Mumbai to Sri Lanka and Singapore with an eight-night  India’s Tigers & Golden Triangle  land tour.

Next year will see more themed, immersive cruises offering experiences ranging from theatrical performances and workshops to Pride and stargazing with astronomers.

Cruise lines are seeking to meet the needs of singles, with a rise in solo cabins per ship. Research also showed an uplift in demand for the Artic in 2023 versus 2022, underscoring a trend for cooler climes.

Dave Mills, Chief Commercial Officer at Iglu Cruise, said: “I predict 2024 will be about an increased confidence to travelling, with people having a sense of ‘carpe diem’ and committing to creative and multi-faceted trips, to create brilliant memories and to have something of interest for each guest travelling. 

“The demand for cruise is larger than ever, due to a combination of factors including more choice of cruises; more capacity; higher awareness of this type of holiday; an interest in value-for-money holidays; general confidence in travel and inspiring cruises, meaning it’s easy to commit to many cruise holidays in one year. We are confident about a strong 2024 and are even selling a lot of cruises for 2025.”

Iglu 1st timer....

1st time I've ever dealt with Iglu for cruise, so far it has been good experience starting with Ryan, the booking rep & Natacha who deals with Special Assistance. Any queries or questions have been answered promptly.

Regular customer because they always offer such a good service

I had done quite a lot of research myself, so was in a better position to offer my requirements to Jon and Luke, both of whom were easily able to confirm they could book exactly what I wanted. This was done very quickly, and I received confirmation and full details of my booking within the hour. I have used Iglu cruises for several years now and always found them to be very cooperative and efficient. I'm not an easy customer!

The staff listen to your request

The staff listen to your request. Sorted me out on another cruise due to Princess cancelling. Booked for a better cruise going straight to Brisbane which is where we wanted to be. Thank you for all your patience, professionalism

Great experience booking my cruise

I found the website easy to use and the advisers I spoke to were all friendly and helpful. I appreciated Louise’s promptness getting in touch, Amanda’s help and advice about room types and location and finally James’s help making my booking. Great service.

In a word 'Anthony' the sales advisor he is the reason for 5 stars

Anthony the sales advisor was professional and tried his very best to give me the competitive quote that was needed. Extremely helpful and came up eventually with the best quote I had had. Credit to his company and has definitely given me a new source when I next book a new holiday.

New Cruisers 1st Cruise

Very useful to be able to see immediately the availability of cruises by date or by type or even by cruise line and more. Already had in mind what we thought we wanted, however, went with a completely different choice as there was so much variety to actually take advantage of. From searching to choosing to booking, paying and sailing, less than two weeks. Very excited to have found a very professional company who know how to present a product well. Resilient Lady here we come!

Very easy experience at Iglu

Very easy experience at Iglu. No press1, press 2, press 4 silly menu options when you phone in. If you have your agents ext you can go to them direct. When you do they are friendly and way to speak to, efficient and helpful. Will even call you back if needed, as ours didn't double check our preferences. Just a great overall experience.

I have never been on a cruise before so…

I have never been on a cruise before so I was nervous about booking one, especially as I am a lone traveller. Rhys was an amazing help, putting my mind at rest and guiding me through the entire booking process and explaining to me what to expect. He was brilliant at advising me about the things that I was nervous about like booking a nearby hotel and the car parking whilst I am away. The website is easy to navigate although I had problems booking - mind, I’m glad that I did have trouble because at that point I was almost going to forget the whole idea and may have lost my nerve had I not spoken to Rhys. I can’t thank you enough.

Helpful guy

I phoned to ask some questions before booking a cruise and Jamie who answered my call was very cheerful and helpful, answering all my queries. I felt very confident from his replies about the cruise I was interest in so booked it with him.

Nice deals but no call back

We got a very nice price and the booking process was not complicated, although we had to call the company to complete the reservation as payment would not be accepted on the online platform. They are not too good at following up interest. The email said someone would call me within 24 hours but we waited a few days and had to call them and go through all information again.

Holiday with confidence

This is the second cruise I've booked thru Igloo, they go out of their way to help and give confidence, without pressure sales, I had issues with my first cruise company and Igloo went out of their way to resolve the matter to my satisfaction. I had no hesitation in booking thru Igloo again.

Date of experience : 24 August 2024

Good booking experience

I spoke to Alex at Iglu cruise and got prices for various options regarding an MSC cruise. He phoned following day and I had various questions which he answered, and lead to me booking.

Great support for first-time cruisers

Fast response to online quote requests, great engagement with cruise adviser and competitively priced cruise packages. As 1st-time cruisers, our Cruise Adviser Ben was very patient with the many questions raised and worked tirelessly to tailor a cruise that perfectly matches our needs. His knowledge and advise was very reassuring and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Iglu again.

Date of experience : 02 September 2024

Daniel Forsyth

Daniel Forsyth, the representative that I dealt with couldn't have been more helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we got the best deal available. Answered all questions and gave us options where they were available. All in all an excellent experience.

Date of experience : 27 August 2024

Iglu, Virgin Cruise and Anthony *****

This is the second cruise we have booked with Iglu as we had such a good experience with our first cruise, they and Anthony did not disappoint. Anthony was very informative, helpful and patient with us in ensuring we got the package we wanted, thank you Anthony

Iglu cruise for a friendly and honest consultation.

Iglu cruise are very competitive on prices and overall availability. Jon was extremely helpful with our initial enquiry and was happy to check costs and availability for a number of cruise’s. Overall we are very helpful with the service and support we received from Iglu Cruise’s and would highly recommend them.

Would recommend Iglu. Simple to use website

Easy to follow website that pulls all the cruise elements, such as flights and transfers together in one place. Takes away the risks of having to book and coordinate flights and transfers separately. Agent I spoke to was really helpful and thorough.

Question booking online at a weekend if there is a technical hitch

We booked a cruise online on a Saturday night. Due to a few technical issues on Iglu site our money was taken but the cruise wasn’t confirmed by e mail although the app said we had been successful. In fact e mails received suggested the transaction hadn’t been completed which was disconcerting. Eventually, after speaking to a number of sales/customer services employees we spoke to someone who said she would look into it on Monday morning. This person sorted the matter and our cruise is booked! My experience suggests it is best to book over the phone at weekends. The small discount offered online isn’t worth the hassle. Our cruise was short notice and much needed so the stress of thinking we had lost it wasn’t great!! All’s well that ends well.

We are travelling as a group with…

We are travelling as a group with various needs and therefore needed to complete the booking by telephone. We were very fortunate to be assisted by a lovely lady called Caitlin who couldn't have been more helpful.

Reef & Island | Outer Reef & Dunk Island | Cairns Day Return

I spent $7,000 on an 8-day luxury cruise with just 100 passengers on board. I can't recommend it enough.

• I went on an eight-day Lindblad Expeditions National Geographic cruise.
• The $7,000 cruise included snorkeling with sea lions, hiking, and close encounters with gray whales.
• The all-inclusive trip ended up being a great value and I'd gladly do it again.

In February, I went on a Lindblad Expeditions National Geographic cruise that was unlike any other trip I'd ever been on before.

I snorkeled next to sea lions, swam with exotic fish, and came so close to a gray whale that I could've reached out and touched it.

Although $7,000 per person for an eight-day, seven-night journey isn't cheap, my trip came with a lot of perks — and I didn't spend any additional money on board.

Here's why this bucket-list experience was worth every penny.

Getting to the boat was easy, and the staterooms were comfortable

My son and I flew nonstop from Los Angeles to Loreto, Mexico, where Lindblad's team greeted us. Comfy coaches whisked us to our temporary floating home, the National Geographic Venture.

The luxurious ship had outdoor decks, an indoor lounge with seating for all passengers, and numerous practical amenities, such as a fitness center.

The Venture has 50 cabins for 100 guests. We shared a stateroom with Scandinavian-style furniture, including two single beds, a foldout couch, and a desk.

Our room's large windows allowed us to watch the scenery float by.

Experts aboard the ship ensured we made the most of our adventure

As soon as we unpacked, passengers and crew got acquainted at an introductory meeting.

Related stories

Our captain mapped out the route: We'd start in Loreto on the Sea of Cortez and loop around the Baja Peninsula to the Pacific Ocean. We would disembark in San Carlos, where a coach would escort us back to the Loreto airport.

The ship's team of naturalists, educators, and photography instructors introduced themselves and shared their enthusiasm from the start.

There was never a dull moment on this trip

One standout part of the Venture was its fleet of Zodiacs. These sturdy, inflatable boats hold a dozen passengers and would allow us to access places larger vessels can't, ferrying us to remote locations for up-close observations and interactions with marine life.

Accompanied by a naturalist, we'd board the Zodiacs early in the morning and go on adventures every day.

We got to experience the striking landscape of red volcanic ash and fossilized sand dunes on remote Puerto Gato. There, we chose which activity to partake in: I snorkeled and kayaked while my son balanced on a paddleboard.

Together, we also hiked the dry riverbed with a naturalist who pointed out exotic desert vegetation.

While in Los Islotes, we encountered dozens of playful sea lions as they sunbathed on rocks and frolicked in the sea.

At Cabo Pulmo National Marine Park, we snorkeled around coral reefs filled with colorful fish.

I've snorkeled in many parts of the world, but being in Cabo Pulmo made it clear to me why oceanographer Jacques Cousteau once referred to Baja as "the world's aquarium."

Of course, we saw many whales during the trip. After all, our itinerary was called Baja California: Among the Great Whales .

February is Baja's prime whale-watching season , so the calendar was in our favor.

In Puerto Lopez Mateos, we boarded small boats and observed gray whales, which travel from their Arctic feeding grounds to breed and raise their calves in these sheltered waters. I got so close to these majestic mammals that I nearly touched one.

Cultural experiences were also woven into the trip.

We spent an afternoon watching a folkloric dance performance, visited an organic cattle farm, and sampled authentic local cuisine at several Baja restaurants.

There was also plenty to do on the ship

We spent a lot of each day off of the ship, but we had fun on it.

While on board, life revolved around spotting humpback whales on deck, attending lectures with the naturalists, trying hands-on photography clinics, and partaking in a daily sunrise exercise class.

The onboard lounge was a guest magnet. Bartenders mixed cocktails, and the lounge steward made sure there was always plenty of hot coffee available — even for an early bird like me who craves caffeine at 6 a.m.

The scenery around us was stunning, and the ship offered great views every time of day.

Food was abundant and satisfying

The onboard meals were delicious. Breakfast was a buffet with made-to-order eggs. Lunch and dinner were multi-course, plated meals with five or six different main dishes featuring locally caught fish.

The daily cocktail hour and a morning snack for early risers kept us well-fed.

Above all, the all-inclusive pricing ensured there weren't any surprise expenses

I really appreciated Lindblad's all-inclusive pricing. Once I paid the $7,000 per person, I never opened my wallet again.

The cost of the trip included all activities, equipment (like wetsuits and loaner cameras), food, beverages, and airport transfers. I also got access to satellite internet, which allowed me to check my email and send text messages.

Service was attentive right up to the very end of the trip when the staff prepared boxed lunches for us to eat as we waited for our flights home.

It was an unforgettable experience that I'd book again in a heartbeat.

Watch: I went shark diving in the middle of Denver, Colorado. It was surreal to see the massive animals in my landlocked state.
