How much does a cruise cost?

Cruise tourism has now become a very hot topic. Many friends hope that they can get a good travel experience, so that you can get a perfect visual impact and sensory impact during your trip. So is the cruise expensive? Let's discuss it in detail.

Modern cruise tourism is frugal for people, and different cruise ships have different positioning. Even for the same cruise ship, the price is different because of different cabins.

Seeking truth from facts, the consumption starting point of Volkswagen luxury cruise ships is very low, which is completely affordable for ordinary wage-earning consumers, while the consumption of high-end luxury cruise ships has no upper limit, far exceeding that of ordinary people. This is really a game for the rich.

China's cruise market is still in an emerging growth stage. At present, the cruise brands stationed in China's home port mainly include Royal Caribbean Cruises, Costa Cruises, Novozymes Cruises, Mediterranean Cruises, Princess Cruises and Star Cruises. No matter in terms of tonnage or age, it is a popular luxury cruise ship, and its positioning itself is relatively close to the people.

In recent years, because cruise giants are optimistic about the China market, they have invested in large ships and new ships in China, and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Major cruise companies have to fight price wars. Coupled with China's characteristic travel agency's sales mode of chartering or booking cabins, all kinds of cruise ships are flying all over the sky, and the prices are getting lower and lower, especially in some off-season cruise cabins.

It's September, which is the off-season after the summer vacation. The starting price of many voyages (four people in the inner cabin) is even around 65438 yuan+0,000 yuan per person. Free accommodation and entertainment are provided on board, which is very cost-effective. Someone calculated that the three meals a day and entertainment on board were basically worth the fare.

Of course, the low price has also led to some disadvantages, such as the decline in service quality, the high proportion of "aunt" tourists on board, resulting in poor experience of other tourists and so on. From next year, major cruise companies have plans to reduce the number of ships and voyage arrangements in China's home port to avoid price wars.

Although the price of luxury cruise ships that are popular now is relatively close to the people, there is still a gap in the prices of different cabins because of the grade problem. Generally, the price of the inner cabin is the lowest, the sea view room is slightly higher, the balcony room is more expensive and the suite is the most expensive. The price of a superior suite may be several times higher than that of the inner cabin.

Of course, passengers in the superior suite can enjoy certain special treatment on the cruise ship, so-called one point for one price. Therefore, as long as you are willing to spend more money, you can still get a better experience.

However, even the superior suites of Volkswagen luxury cruise ships can't meet the requirements of real rich people. What they really like is high-end luxury cruise ships. These high-end luxury cruise ships are not necessarily large, with medium tonnage or even mini, and pay more attention to intimate service, exquisite catering and high privacy.

Because of their small tonnage, these luxury cruise ships can call at ports that large cruise ships can't. The niche deep routes and meticulous butler service make high-end luxury cruise ships the first choice for high-end people.

The names of these high-end luxury cruise companies are almost unheard of by most people in China, such as Seabourn, Silversea, Crystal and Regent Seven Seas (

Seas) and so on.

Although not well-known in China, these cruise ships are indeed the world's top cruise brands. High-end luxury services and deep niche routes make every cruise very expensive, and the per capita cost of each voyage exceeds 6,543,800 yuan.

Passengers on these cruise ships are either rich or expensive, and they must have considerable quality. At present, there are not many passengers in China who can really accept this kind of cruise price and have supporting quality.

As a cruise lover who often takes a cruise, you don't have to have money to take a cruise. I want to ask this question because you have never been on a cruise. In fact, in many cases, cruise ships are very cheap.

September is coming, which is the off-season of tourism. The cheapest room on this cruise is six or seven hundred and one people, and the cruise tip is one thousand yuan. Is it not as expensive as the subject imagined?

I randomly searched a website that sells cruise ships, and there is a room with a sea view of 2798. I counted 1399, plus the tip 1700. If the price of the inner cabin is cheaper, I don't think the inner cabin here can be sold.

So cruise ships are not expensive. Of course, if you travel in the summer vacation in July and August, you have no choice, because that is the peak season, the most expensive time of the year, and the Spring Festival. Avoiding these two periods, you can always buy cheap tickets.

The cheapest room on the cruise ship is the inner cabin, the slightly more expensive is the sea view, then the balcony, and the most expensive is the VIP suite. As long as you don't choose the most expensive room, ordinary people can afford other rooms. Even the most expensive suite costs more than 3,000 when it comes to activities. Now any domestic tour costs two or three thousand yuan. In contrast, the price of cruise ships is relatively close to the people.

The vast majority of cruise tourists in China should be working-class people. In fact, the cost of a cruise ship is not very large, and the price per person ranges from 1 thousand to tens of thousands.

The tonnage of cruise ships in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in China is basically several thousand tons to more than 10,000 tons, and the price of the shortest voyage is basically 1000 to more than 2,000 according to the cabin price.

Let's talk about the luxury cruise ships in China's home port. At present, there are cruise companies in the home port, such as Tianhang Cruise, Costa Cruise, Royal Caribbean Cruise, Star Cruise, Mediterranean Cruise, Meng Xing Cruise, Novozymes Cruise, etc. Except Tianhai Cruise, all of them are overseas cruise companies, and these cruise ships are really luxurious, with tonnage ranging from more than 60,000 tons to168,000 tons.

At present, the largest cruise ship in the world is 220,000 tons. Of course, the prices of these cruise ships are also different, which is not only related to the cruise ship itself, but also related to the type of cabin you live in on the cruise ship. The price basically ranges from 1000 (in the case of swinging the tail) to 20,000-30,000 one person (basically all good suites on board).

However, the average price of most cruise ships is about 4-5 thousand yuan, so eating well, playing well and staying well on the cruise ship are very low. Some people wait for the price of the tail cabin because they have more free time.

When it's cheaper, their price will be around 2000-3000, so you say cruise tourists are rich. We thought most of them were ordinary people, but now people's consumption concept is changing.
