Are cruises expensive?

are cruises expensive?

we compare what how much does a cruise cost vs how much it would cost to each of the cruise stops on your own via plane, train and boat.

the result is surprisingly cheap.

If you are looking for a cheap cruise, this video is for you.

so maybe cruises are cheap. we recently went on the virgin voyages cruise ship sailing around the mediterranean sea stopping at 4 ports along the way

we set sail from barcelona spain, then we visited the city of marseille in france, followed by cannes in the south of france, then we sailed over to olbia in sardinia (an italian island) and then we finally stopped in ibiza (a balearic island near spain), before heading back to the beautiful city of barcelona.

The cruise experience was not what we expected, with parties, amazing restaurants (no buffets), and the most amazing amenities you could imagine.

the cruise ship had a gym, a swimming pool, hot tubs, 5 star restaurants a vinyl record shop, a spa, karaoke booths and loads more amazing amenities.

we were shocked by how many things you could do on the cruise ship, so we made a top 5 list of best things to do on a cruise ship.

this is probably the best cruise ship in the world, on the best cruise ship route in europe.

in this video we show your the exercise running track that goes around the top of the cruise ship. We show you the boxing ring which is on the top deck of the boat and is a hidden gem onboard (i also want to fight tommy fury), we also show you the private karaoke booths where you can sing one direction, we should you the tattoo parlour onboard the ship and the fact that there are lifejackets onboard and in every room.

You didnt account for, travel to and from accomodation to transport to change locations as well as you don't have to pack your bags constantly, cruises have endless free entertainment, you have someone come and make up you room everyday.

See a lot of people saying the cruise is better. Personally I would be more interested in controlling my destinations, and potentially side tracking where I want to. I think there are a lot of downsides to cruises other that the money, like set destinations on a finite schedule, the close quarters on the ship, etc. So really I think it just depends on what you want to do during your trip

[austinbrooks]

Not to forget the cruise can be even cheaper if you don't splurge on a nice room. You're not going to be in your room often other than sleeping so I'd definitely take one of the cheaper lower deck rooms.

Not to mention all the time waiting to board/take off with planes, and sitting around on transportation. On a cruise, you can do fun stuff while you travel!

[BiancaManiago]

It depends what you're looking for. If you just want to go to those countries, you can definitely fly there; if you want the cruise experience, it isn't much of a price difference - so it's just personal preference :)

[vidcove]

Cruise is full of entertainment options as well. Not to mention the other activities on the ship that are included in your fare.

[MyTv-]

It totally depends on want your looking for! If you want to independently explore a cruise ain’t no good.

[choreomaniac]

You wouldn’t do the same itinerary. Do Switzerland, Austria and Czechia and transport is suddenly much cheaper. Stay in hostels. Cabins are far smaller than hotel rooms.
Bottom line is if you want to do a cruise itinerary, do that but the majority of itineraries are uncruisable.

If you want to do as little as possible while travelling cruising is the way to go

[indiag]

We’re about to go on a cruise with our kids and we are so excited. One of these years, I’d love to go on adult only one and go to Europe with my husband. 😍

[lalifromcali]

Two very different experiences. Some like to travel with a little more convenience. Others like exploring and staying for dinner without a curfew.

[andygranttricky]

We did that cruise with Marella Cruises and all flights, food and drinks for 7 nights, £1, 600 for 2 people. Tip here, don’t go via Virgin Cruises.

[Karl-cgcv]

The difference is paid by all those whocare harmed by the existance of cruises. Instead of rushing through many cities, you could also enjoy exploring one or two more profoundly

[DFW_Spotter]

Well for the cruise your not really paying for the destinations your really paying for the cruise experience

[drewschumann]

The biggest downside to the cruise is that you are stuck with the cruise food. Traveling yourself, you'd get to experience local culture more, including local food

[dodgerx]

Cruises are bad for the towns they visit though….

They pollute as much as a million cars. Even at the harbor they still pollute alot for the local air quality.
The tourist are frown oppon as they come in huge bulk, take pictures throu the windows of peoples homes, walk in they front yard like it was a museum and they leaves next to no money behind cause they eat on the boat.
The boats are huge and is an eye thorn for the view.

[dealesun]

The only downside to going on your own is not knowing what to do in those destinations without prior research vs cruises that have set excursions and recommendations. Now the downside to a cruise is you have a time frame so imagine 7am to 4pm in that city vs being there the whole day and doings things at your own pace. I mean I rather do it solo if I pre-planned on everything and had extra for spontaneous adventures. If however the places I'm visiting are expensive destinations perhaps I would do the cruise.

[m.s.]

I don't like cruise ships a lot, because you have such less time... I'm rather be in a smaller area but can go every day in an other city/village as a day trip... I made 3x 2 weeks on the côte d'azur in my whole live, like every time 4 years a part... Staying at the same Appartment but visiting every day new places... It was always relaxing and much more beautiful than my 11-days west Europe cruise, where everyday was just to short to see the city... And this many totally different cities it was also stressful, mind boggling and not easy to remember what i done in every city... And just a few times to relax...

[chrism]

You can definitely get the cruise for half that price if you're willing to stay in an inside room in the bowels of the ship with no windows.
And you have the entire ship to stretch out and walk around in, so the room doesn't really matter.

[helenshack]

Those prices you quoted for your meals on your own are not even realistic anymore, unless you plan to eat fast food or from street food vendors
The meals on the cruise ship are far superior and unlimited.
The lugging your suitcases to all those five places and the waiting time to get on your transportation modes have not been considered. You would be spending your time hanging out at the airports or bus and train terminals without having a chance ti sight see anything.
What’s the point of doing it on your own like this to save 75$.
At least after you have looked around the the city the cruise ship has ported at you get to come back on for excellent meals, entertainment and a good sleep and you don’t have to pack and unpack every night like you will have to or live out of your suitcase
