You probably already know this, but as a heads-up to others browsing that site, quoted prices for cruise ships are per-person based on double occupancy, so you'll only get a rate as low as $50/day/person if you're traveling as a pair sharing a room. If you're traveling single, you pay anywhere from a 50-100% supplement. Picking a few of the ones from that site at random, it looks like most are charging the full double price if you want to book a room as a single, so ~$80-100/day. Add in the ~$10-15/day quasi-mandatory gratuities and you end up not saving much vs. the $120/day container ship, though certainly for a much different kind of trip.
- manyhats 11y agoThe least costly line I know of is Pullmantur. Their repositioning cruises across the Atlantic are frequently under $50/day for a solo passenger. US$37 / day at current exchange rates and including taxes and semi-obligatory gratuities: http://www.pullmantur.com.br/pt/cruzeiros/-/cruzeiros/posicionales/salvador-brazil/sovereign/13-noites.html http://www.pullmantur.com.br/pt/cruzeiros/-/cruzeiros/posici... US$39 / day: http://www.pullmantur.com.br/pt/cruzeiros/-/cruzeiros/transat-st-marteen-barcelona/philipsburg/horizon/12-noites.html http://www.pullmantur.com.br/pt/cruzeiros/-/cruzeiros/transa... Heads-up: English is not the primary language of most passengers, but from what I've read, the crew can accommodate it. Norwegian also has some that are under $100/day including taxes and gratuities. The one below is $968.95 for 13 days ($75/day), assuming you take the promo where the cruise line pays for the gratuities. http://www.ncl.com/cruises/STAR13DVRPDLMIATPA?itineraryCode=STAR13DVRPDLMIATPA http://www.ncl.com/cruises/STAR13DVRPDLMIATPA?itineraryCode=...
