Real cruise discounts.No agency markup.
We work exclusively with six premium lines — Virgin Voyages, Princess, Royal Caribbean, NCL, MSC and Celebrity. You pay your cruise fare directly to the line. We charge one service fee and pass every dollar of negotiated discount straight back to you.
Greek Island Glow · 7 nights
Six lines. Curated, not random.
We don't book Carnival weekend party ships or budget riverboats. Just the six lines that consistently deliver.
Four steps. No phone tree.
We're built for travellers who already know what cruising is, want a real discount, and don't want to be 'sold to' by a 1990s agency.
Tell us your sailing
Pick a line, region and date window — or browse our live quote board. Six lines only, so the choice is sane.
We negotiate & hold
We pull the actual best rate from the line (often 50–75% under published fare) and place a 24-hour courtesy hold on your cabin.
You pay for our service
One service fee, before you commit. Non-refundable — but if life changes, it converts to a credit towards another sailing.
Fare goes to the line
You pay the cruise line yourself, in their system, under your name. No agency in the middle, no commission baked into your fare.
Why we can actually be cheaper
The honest version, in plain English. No fake countdown timers.
We're not an agency.
Agencies earn a commission baked into your fare — typically 10–16%. We don't take any of that. You pay us nothing extra. The discount stays with you.
One flat fee, shown upfront.
Most cabins fall in a $249–$499 service fee range, depending on length and category. The fee is locked before you commit — no surprise upsells, no resort credit gimmicks, no 'taxes & fees' that quietly double the total.
Fare paid direct to the line.
Your card is charged by Virgin / Princess / Royal / NCL / MSC / Celebrity — not us. Loyalty points, captain's club status, on-board credit promotions: all stay with you, exactly as if you booked direct.
Book up to 12 months ahead.
Lock today's price — and today's cabin location — for a sailing as far as a year out. Cruise lines reprice as ships fill; early holds protect you from the inventory squeeze.
Non-refundable, but never lost.
Our service fee is non-refundable once we've done the concierge work. But if you need to reschedule for any reason, the fee converts to a credit toward other sailings, valid for 12 months.
No hidden requirements.
No membership, no annual subscription, no minimum spend, no 'preferred partner' steering. Browse, hold, decide. Our rate is always cheaper, but you can always walk away free.
Plan your cruise. We'll do the digging.
Drop your details and a quick note — we'll come back with real options on the lines you actually want, with our discount baked in.
Live discounts across the six

Concierge, not commission
A side-by-side honest comparison. Nothing here is illegal for agencies to do — it's just how the model works. We picked a different model.

|---|---|---|---|
| Real discount off published fare | 50–75% | 0% — list price | Hidden in markup |

| Cruise fare paid direct to line | Always | Yes | Through agency |
| Lock today's price up to 12 mo out | Yes | Sometimes | Varies |
| Reschedule credit if life changes | Full fee → credit, 12 mo | Line policy only | Penalty fees |
| Pressure to add upsells | Never | — | Commission-led |
Booked calm, not chaos
"We saved 62% versus the price Celebrity quoted us directly the night before — over $2,000 per person. The fare went straight onto our Celebrity account, our Captain's Club points posted normally, and the only thing Too Much Travel charged us was $500 upfront. That's it."
"I'd been pricing Princess for weeks. Too Much Travel came back 58% under what I'd seen — and they held the mini-suite while my wife and I talked it over. No 'call me back today' pressure."
"Genuinely the easiest booking I've ever done. They only work with six lines, I knew Virgin was the vibe I wanted, and the price was the price — no resort credit shell games."
"When my mother got sick we had to push the sailing back six months. Our fee converted to credit on the spot and we re-booked for the following spring. Try getting that out of a discount agency."

Questions, answered straight
No — and that's the whole point. Travel agencies earn commission from the cruise line, which is funded out of the fare you pay. We don't take commission. We charge you a flat service fee included in the total price, and the line gives us a better rate to pass on. That's why our prices are genuinely lower.
Six only: Virgin Voyages, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian (NCL), MSC Cruises and Celebrity Cruises. We don't book any other line — that focus is what lets us know inventory, cabins and pricing patterns inside and out.
Most sailings come in 50–75% under the published fare on the cruise line's own website on the day you quote. Some short Bahamas runs and bucket-list itineraries land at the high end. Every quote shows the line's published rate and our Service Fee, you will not find better.
You pay the cruise line directly, in their booking system, under your name. Your card is charged by Royal Caribbean / Princess / Virgin / NCL / MSC / Celebrity — not by us. Loyalty points, on-board credits and any line-specific promotions stay with you.
The service fee is non-refundable once we've placed your hold and locked the discounted rate — that's when the concierge work actually happens. But it is never lost. If life changes, the full fee converts into credit toward another sailing on any of the six lines, valid for 12 months.
Up to 12 months ahead. That's typically the sweet spot — cruise lines load inventory roughly a year out at their best rates, then reprice upward as ships fill. Locking your cabin early on a discounted rate is the most reliable way we know to save real money.
No. No membership, no annual subscription, no booking fee on top, no 'resort credit' bundles you have to opt out of. The flat service fee is the entire amount you pay us. Port fees, taxes, gratuities and on-board spend all sit on the cruise line's side — exactly as they would booking direct.
You can receive the booking details within a few hours to 24 hours from the moment the payment is completed. You will also receive an invoice and receipt from us, we take credit card, e-transfer in person or online. Safe and Secure.
