CruiseIndex How it works →

Cruise shopping is needlessly complicated.

CruiseIndex is the independent research engine built to score every ship, fare, and review, so you know what a sailing is actually worth before you book.

The three scores

What's beneath the surface

Every sailing is judged three ways: how good the ship is, what passengers make of her, and whether today's fare is a deal. Together, they tell you what a cruise is actually worth.

Vessel Class

graded out of six

The physical ship itself: space per guest, food, service, condition, health inspections and incident history.

top 2% → 6★123456stars

Every ship lands on one curve. The sixth star belongs to the top 2%, so no ship starts with it.

Every input is a measurement or a public record. See the full fleet ranking →

Review Score

out of five

Actual passenger ratings from the major review sites, pooled into one comparable number.

123453,100820240pooled 4.8rating

One site's 4.2 isn't another's, so we align the scales first. Then volume decides: 3,100 reviews pull hard, 240 barely register.

Shown as-is. We compute from the ratings and never republish anyone's review.

Value Score

0 to 10

Today's fare against what this class of ship normally costs at this length and season.

Scored inside its own class, so a six-star ship can still be a bargain. Reviews nudge it by at most ±6%.

5.0 fairly priced · 7.5+ a good deal · 9+ a great one.

Same math for every line: no sponsored placements, no pay-to-rank.
