Tips for Round-Trip Cruises
- Drive-to ports save big: If you live within driving distance of a cruise port, round-trip sailings eliminate flights entirely. Park at the port or a nearby off-site lot and your total trip cost drops dramatically.
- Short cruises = lowest entry point: 3-4 night round-trip cruises from ports like Miami, Port Canaveral, and Long Beach are the cheapest way to cruise. Perfect for first-timers or quick getaways.
- Same port, many destinations: Major homeports like Miami offer round-trip sailings to Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico, and even Europe. You can cruise to completely different destinations from the same parking spot.
- Easier to compare prices: Round-trip sailings are the easiest to compare apples-to-apples since you don't need to factor in one-way flights. The cruise fare is closer to your true total cost.
Set up a price alert on any sailing you're watching. You'll get notified when the price changes.
Prices shown are per person, per night. Round-trip cruises depart and return to the same port. Last checked: June 13, 2026.
