How the tracker works

Last Minute Cruise Tracker lists every cruise that Cruisebound, a cruise booking site, sells and that leaves in the next 90 days, from any port in the world. Today that is 3,103 ocean sailings and 241 river sailings on 22 cruise lines, leaving from 135 ports. Everything is sorted by price, and every fare shows the day it was checked.

We do not sell cruises. There is no booking engine, account or newsletter here. The "Check live price" buttons open the sailing on Cruisebound.

Where the sailings come from

1. Cruisebound's product catalog. Cruisebound publishes its whole inventory to its affiliate partners every morning (33,602 sailings on November 7, 2026), each with its line, ship, departure port, date and lowest fare. The tracker reads it once a day and keeps the ones leaving in the next 90 days.
2. Each sailing's own page. The catalog does not list ports of call, so the tracker reads each sailing's page on Cruisebound for its day-by-day itinerary. A sailing without a confirmed list of ports is left out rather than shown with gaps.

A sailing appears 90 days before it leaves and drops off the day before it leaves. A sailing that vanishes from the catalog stays for up to three of Cruisebound's daily updates, because the catalog sometimes comes back short for a day and the cruises are still on sale.

How fares are checked

A fare here is the lowest Cruisebound lists for the sailing, per person for two people sharing a cabin, with taxes and fees included. It comes from one of two places, and each fails in its own way: the sailing's page is a cached copy that sometimes misses cabins, and the catalog is complete but can lag the page by days. So the page's fare is used when it shows the cheapest cabin, and the catalog's fills the gaps.

In a sailing's last 21 days the tracker reads its page every day and prints a fare only when the two sources agree within 25%. When they do not, the card says "Check price" instead of showing a number that may already be gone. Today: 2,747 fares from the sailing page, 503 fares from the catalog, and 92 sailings held back this way. 3,250 sailings carry a fare in all.

These are not live quotes. Fares move through the day, so check the live price before you book.

What the badges mean

• Leaves in N days. The days from today to departure.
• Down $X this week. The fare is lower than the one recorded seven days earlier, for the same cabin from the same source. A fall of more than half is not shown, because that almost always means a cheaper cabin type reopened rather than a real cut.
• Lowest price seen. Today's fare is the lowest the tracker has recorded for the sailing, after at least three readings, one of them higher.
• New. The sailing came within the 90-day window, or went on sale, in the last three days.

The price log started on November 8, 2026, so the drop badges need a week of readings before they can appear.

Destinations and audiences

A sailing is filed under a destination by the ports it calls at and by the region Cruisebound gives it, so a cruise that calls in Greece and Italy is on both pages. Each destination page says its own rule. The solo, all-inclusive, luxury and family pages use only what each cruise line says on its own website, with a link to the page it says it on.

Independence

This site is not affiliated with Cruisebound or any cruise line. The price buttons are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book through them, at no cost to you. The commission does not change which sailings are listed or the order they appear in. The affiliate disclosure has the details.

When something is wrong

If a sailing or a fare looks wrong, tell us. The cruise line is always the final word on dates, ports and prices.
