Sailing Soon

Departures from Australian ports in the coming weeks, with the lowest fare still open on each. When a sailing is this close, the cruise line wants it full, and that is when prices move.

How last minute cruise deals work

Why prices drop

An empty cabin earns nothing once the ship sails. Inside the last two or three months, cruise lines would rather discount than sail with gaps, so fares on remaining cabins can fall well below the launch price.

What to expect

Less choice. The cheapest cabins and the best suites usually go first, and the line may assign your cabin location rather than let you pick. You also need passports, and any visas, ready to go.

How to be ready

Tell us the dates you can travel and the cabin you would accept. We watch the fares and call you the moment something fits, so you can book before it is gone.

Can travel at short notice?

Tell us your window and budget. We will send you the best fares as they land, before they reach the website.
