Best value per night

Every route by value

A 4-night sailing at $782 costs a lot more per night than a 10-night one at the same price. This table takes the cheapest date on every ship and route and ranks them by fare per night, which is the fairest way to compare trips of different lengths. The median across the whole calendar is $113 a night.

The port count is there so you can weigh a cheap trip with lots of sea days against a busier one. Fares change, so check the current price with the cruise line.
