Open Book Journeys

Cruise budget calculator

Gratuities and port taxes are charged whatever the fare says, and they are charged per person, which is why party size moves your total more than cabin class does.

Every guest at the full rate. A few lines exempt infants under two.
Port fees and taxes
If you have the booking page open, your figure beats our range. Check whether it quotes taxes per guest or once for the whole reservation, because lines differ.
What does your fare include?

Enter a budget to see what fare you can afford on each line.

Every ceiling has the mandatory fees taken out already, and uses the top of the port fee range, so it is never optimistic.

5 lines, every rate read off the line's own page, oldest check 2026-08-23. See every source.
