How to Search for the Perfect Ocean & River Cruise

One of the frustrations our readers and clients experience is how to find the perfect ocean or river cruise.

There’s a lot to consider.  The destination, the cruise line, the stateroom on the ship, shore excursions; premium or luxury, and of course, the budget.

A person could spend weeks on end trying to sort through the myriad of websites and options.  Right?

Well, we want to be helpful to our readers and clients and so we’ve decided to invest in a fabulous tool that will allow you to search across every major cruise line and every possible destination.  In just a few clicks of your mouse, you can begin to drill down on the ocean or river cruise of your dreams.

And because this tool updates daily with 50 different cruise lines, it will also give you pricing, special offers, comparisons between various cruise lines, and much more.  We’re putting a powerful search tool in your hands. And best of all, it’s free for you to use 24/7.

Features of the Ocean and River Cruise Search Tool

Basic Search

Here, you can search across all cruise lines by destination, ports, cruise line, ships, date, and even some special prompts to help you find the best offers.

Advanced Search

In the lower left of the basic search, you’ll find the link for the advanced search.  Here, you can really drill down and find a very specific cruise offering.  You can search by destination, departure port, cruise line type, cruise line, ship, min/max days, and even specific dates.  Important note: if you don’t want to see all offerings in a particular field, use your mouse to highlight the desired queries.  As you can see below, I’ve highlighted three specific cruise lines in my example.

Cruise Port Search

Let’s say you want a cruise that sails out of a specific city.  With the cruise port search tool, you can see a visual of every port in the world and begin your search from there.

Search Results

When you’re presented with a search result, you can further narrow down the selection by checking up to seven specific cruises, hit the compare link, and you’ll be presented with this screen.  As you can see, we’re getting deeper and deeper into finding our desired cruise.

And the hits just keep on coming….

Don’t stop here.  Keep clicking links and you can drill down to deck plans, photographs of specific rooms, and even what rooms are currently available.  Pretty cool, right!

As I hope you can see, this is a valuable tool to help you identify ocean and river cruises, from over 50 cruises lines, and drill down all the way to a specific cabin.  But wait, there’s more!

How to get complimentary VIP Perks

We’ve got the “book in now” feature shut off because with our affiliation with the $15 billion/year Virtuoso Travel Network, we’re very likely to have additional complimentary perks to give you on top of what the cruise lines are offering.  And, these won’t show up in this search.  Therefore, when you find the perfect dream cruise, use the tool to email or call us and we can do a further search on our end to see what additional complimentary perks we might have for you.  Pretty cool.  Right?
