After roughly 13 years of cruising, we think one of the biggest benefits of cruising is that a cruise vacation can combine lodging, meals, transportation between destinations, entertainment, activities, housekeeping, and much of the planning into one system. That doesnât mean cruises are always cheaper or automatically better than land travel. The real advantage is how many travel problems they can solve at the same time. We compare cruise travel with multi-city land vacations, including our own experience spending weeks traveling around Italy, and look at the planning, transportation, budgeting, group travel, and destination logistics that can make cruising surprisingly efficient. We also explain why comparing a cruise fare directly with a hotel room can be misleading. A better comparison is the total vacation cost: lodging, meals, transportation, entertainment, activities, and everything else you would otherwise purchase separately. Cruises still have optional upgrades, but many of the core costs can be known before you ever leave home.
