Among the most popular requests for choosing a cruise on our website, New Year's cruises are certainly in the lead. Of course, because you don’t want to waste so many days of rest. In this article, we have prepared a selection of the cheapest New Year's cruises that you can buy right now. Prices are correct at the time of publication (July 3, 2016), but of course may change over time. So, let's begin.

New Year's Eve Cruises

Let's immediately make a reservation that New Year's Eve cruises almost always cost 2-3 times more expensive than similar cruises that start a week earlier or later. This section is for those who fundamentally need to be on board exactly on December 31st. If you just need a cruise that fits in with the New Year's holidays, scroll further to the "Cruises for the New Year's holidays" section, the prices there will be much nicer.

So, a guaranteed way to book a cheap cruise with capture on December 31 only one thing - book much in advance, that is, 1.5-2 years in advance.

Unfortunately, there are no such prices for this New Year. What is there? Minimum prices start from 699 euros per person per week. For example, on the Dutch MSC website you can buy a cruise on MSC Splendida leaving Barcelona on December 30th. A week-long cruise from Savona to Costa Luminosa from December 30 will also cost 699 euros. Costa's UK website has an 8-night cruise on Costa's flagship Diadema for €868. Departure December 31st from Barcelona.

Don't want to freeze in the Mediterranean? I want more warm countries? A two-week cruise on MSC Fantasia from Dubai departs exactly on December 31 and covers the entire New Year holidays. It is currently on sale for €1,419 per person.

Another good option is a cruise on MSC Magnifica from December 28 from Genoa to the Canaries. This is a compromise option: it’s warm in the Canaries at this time of year, but you don’t have to fly far. The cost is 1144 euros for 11 days. This cruise is sold on the MSC Australian website and prices are for Australians only, but can be booked for the same price.

Exotic options

Are long-distance flights intimidating? Then why not celebrate the New Year in the Maldives? A two-week cruise on the Costa neoClassica departs on December 23 from Mumbai and costs €1,199 per person. On December 31, the liner will dock in the Maldives. By the way, there is a shortened version starting in Male on December 30 and ending in Mumbai for 658 euros per person.

Another exotic option for celebrating the New Year in Madagascar. A cruise to Costa neoRomantica will help with this from December 23, departing from Port Louis (Mauritius). The cost of a 2-week trip is 1384 euros per person (on the Brazilian website).

Caribbean New Year's Eve cruises start from €1,199 on the Costa Magica, departing Guadeloupe on December 30

What about premium companies?

For the same money you can take cruises from higher class companies. For example:

Cruise by South-East Asia on Diamond Princess from December 27th. 12 days for 1214 euros.
Look out for a TUI cruise on Mein Schff1 from Singapore from 28 December. The cost is rather high - 1795 euros per person for 2 weeks, but it includes high quality alcoholic drinks.
The German company AIDA cannot be classified as premium, but the price of 1129 euros for a 2-week New Year's cruise from Dubai from December 28 is worthy of attention. Plus the price includes gratuity and wine/beer for lunch and dinner.

Cruises for New Year's holidays

Agree, the above options cannot be called cheap. But we warned that cruises with New Year's Eve on board are always unreasonably expensive. What to do if you don’t have enough money, but you want to go on a cruise? The solution is to buy a cruise departing in early January. New Year holidays are considered peak time only in Russia. Europeans are working at this time and the cost of cruises starting in early January is no different from usual ones.

If you want to celebrate the New Year away from the snow and frost, but really don’t want to spend time by the seashore, consider going on a New Year’s cruise - a sea voyage on a comfortable liner. Currently, there are a lot of resort destinations.

If desired, it is also possible to visit Singapore, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. New Year's tourist cruises offer vacationers a trip almost all over the world.

More information about sea travel

A cruise by sea depends on the chosen destination and can last from several days to a couple of weeks. During this period it will be possible to visit several countries, see their sights, enjoy the trip and return to the place of departure. The longest cruises during the New Year holidays are usually Asian - visiting places such as Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and traveling to the shores of always sunny Australia.

If you want to go on a New Year's sea cruise, then you need to keep in mind that you need to travel to the ship's departure station at your own expense. For example, if your departure route is the Caribbean, then you will need to fly at your own expense to Miami airport and then return to your homeland from the same city.

Rules for living on a New Year's cruise

There is no need to worry about the comfort and conditions on the ship that serve New Year's travel. All liners are floating hotels, which also have well-deserved stars.

On board five-star ships, in addition to many cabins, there are indoor and outdoor pools, spa centers with their own body care services, water parks and a large number of sports buildings, such as surfing pools, gyms with exercise equipment, tennis courts, glades with artificial turf for golf, basketball and volleyball courts.

During New Year's cruises, for the entertainment of tourists there are theater venues, casinos, cinemas, concert halls and nightclubs. For a more relaxing holiday, the ships also have cafes with internet and libraries.

Even families with children can travel by sea this way. For little travelers, the ships have special facilities, ranging from entertainment with the participation of animators, to a special children's menu, playgrounds and halls.

Before you pay for a tourist package, you need to find out which cabin you want to stay in.

Absolutely all cabins have beds and other furniture (special children's beds are provided for children), as well as air conditioning, TVs, safes, telephones, minibars and showers.

Cost of pleasure

Any holiday travel, even during the seasonal rush, will be expensive and it will be impossible to find last-minute tours. Cruises to the islands of the Bahamas, Caribbean, and UAE cost about 30-40 thousand rubles during the New Year. for 1 person (when staying in internal cabins). Traveling around the Mediterranean will be a little more expensive, but traveling along Pacific Ocean and the Australian continent - from 65 thousand rubles. The price usually includes not only accommodation on the ship and meals, but also an excursion to all of the above activities, except the spa, casino and shore excursions.

You will also need to pay for visas yourself. In addition, the cost of travel for New Year holidays Tips for housekeeping are not included (they are daily and amount to about $10).

There is another very important point related to the money issue of traveling to New Year. If for some reason the train has to be canceled (before the deadline set by the tour operator), you may receive a fine. Otherwise, the travel company has the right not to pay the entire cost of the previously paid trip. Thus, if you cancel your trip 2 months (75 days before the cruise or earlier), the cost of the tour will be refunded in full. And if you refuse to travel for new year holidays will be made in a shorter period, for example 40 days, then half the cost of the trip will be returned. If you cancel your trip 14 days or less in advance, you can lose all the money spent on purchasing vouchers.
In any case, a New Year's cruise is a non-trivial way to spend the winter holidays for those who want to make them unforgettable.
