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.
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.
Every ship lands on one curve. The sixth star belongs to the top 2%, so no ship starts with it.
1,158 sailings scored on ship quality, passenger reviews and what the fare should cost.
How CruiseIndex works
Vessel Class (of six) evaluates the physical ship itself, factoring in space per guest, food quality, service, overall condition, health inspections, and incident history. The sixth star is reserved for the top ~2% of the fleet.
4.7
Review Score (of 5) pools actual passenger ratings from the major review sites, giving a collective snapshot of how past guests felt, without editing or reweighting. Shown as-is, so you don't have to go check them all yourself.
9.2
Value Score (of 10) compares a current fare against what a sailing of that specific ship class, length, and season normally costs, adjusting slightly for traveler reviews so ultra-luxury ships aren't unfairly penalized for high price tags. 5.0 = fairly priced, 7.5+ a good deal, 9+ a great one.
No games, no markup. Every price is the cruise line's own fare, linked straight out to where you book it. If you book through CruiseIndex, the line pays us a commission; you never pay a cent more. No “call us,” no paywall, no pay-to-rank. Oceania Cruises sailings are live now; every other line shows preview samples until its feed arrives.
Tags are earned from each ship's own data: food, service, newness, space and traveler reviews. Pick any to narrow the list; a sailing must carry all the tags you choose.
