- Repositioning Cruises. These are cruises that are sent to another destination to cover demand (for example a Alaska cruises that are sent to the Caribbean). Cruise lines will try to cover their expenses of doing that journey by charging low prices.

- Check large vacations suppliers. Large suppliers have low prices. Be sure to check with Travelocity or online suppliers like CruiseDirect.com since they can make customized packages.
