Creator's Key Takeaways
For the exact same luxury cruise, travelers can pay dramatically different prices.
The single most important strategy for saving money on these cruises is simple. Book early, typically 18 to 24 months before departure.
Placing a deposit early simply locks in your price and your cabin. It does not mean paying for the cruise early.
Waiting rarely gets you a better deal.
