In plain English: Some links on Cruises.to earn us a small commission if you book through them. It costs you nothing extra, and it helps keep the site running.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), Cruises.to discloses that this site participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means we may earn a commission when you click certain links and make a purchase or booking.
We participate in the Viator affiliate programme. Viator is a TripAdvisor company offering shore excursions, tours, and activities worldwide. When you book a Viator experience through a link on Cruises.to, we earn a commission. Viator's prices and availability are set entirely by Viator and its tour operators — our commission does not affect the price you pay.
We participate in the CruiseDirect affiliate programme through Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate). CruiseDirect is an online cruise booking platform. When you book a cruise through a CruiseDirect link on this site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We do not accept payment to write about specific products or services, and our port guides are written to be genuinely useful to cruise passengers — not to drive affiliate clicks. We only link to services we believe are relevant and useful to our readers.
Clicking an affiliate link never increases the price you pay. Commissions are paid by the merchant from their own margin. In many cases, booking through an affiliate link may give you access to the same deals and guarantees (such as CruiseDirect's best price guarantee) that you would receive booking directly.
Affiliate links on Cruises.to typically lead to Viator (viator.com) or CruiseDirect (cruisedirect.com). Links to these services on port guide pages and cruise line hub pages are affiliate links. We do not use deceptive link practices — links go where they say they go.
