Crusie search engine?

**BevS97** · 1 Sep 16, 07:41 PM

I'm looking for a cruise for next summer, I can only go during the six weeks, preferably from Barcelona or Greece as easy to fly from Newcastle.

Is there a search engine where you can put it specific dates (not just July as half of July is no good), and get a list of possiblities.

As a starting point we use Vacationstogo to get a rough idea of itineraries available - but you can only search by month. Once we have an idea we then trawl the usual UK websites plus the cruise line direct and do a more detailed search with specific cruise line/ship, etc, to get a feel for prices.
Then ring around and play off one against the other to get the best deal - on board credit, free speciality dining, free parking (in UK), etc.
Our favourite cruise lines don't allow UK residents to book with US agents - regional pricing they call it

Our target is around �80pppn or less for a midships inside cabin - not school hols! Our upcoming Asia cruise is �73pppn in an outside cabin.

We usually book with viva voyage and I am sure you can select dates on there to search between.

Cruise.co.uk lets you click on a specific date to start the search from. You can also select specific (eg Barcelona) or general ( ie Mediterranean ) ports of departure, and specific cruise lines

We've just booked our second cruise, a Caribbean next year. We booked at a travel agent, I'm guessing this isn't the best way to go looking at your comments! I'm a novice at the cruise business! X

I always use seascanner.com as a starting point. It's a German travel agent website but really quick and easy to search for all cruises. After the initial search you and can narrow down to specific dates, ports, ships etc if needed. I am on there at the moment looking at the Med for next summer. Urgh, so little choice and everything is soooooo expensive ...

We always say we'll wait for last minute bargains but we're too impatient! We are watching the price of a 20 day Caribbean cruise on Princess in Nov 2017. It was �1980pp for an inside but dropped �350pp yesterday. Still think it will come down further but the good cabins are selling fast - this booking a cruise lark is just too stressful!

Seascanner is exactly what I was looking for, haven't found the perfect cruise yet, but I like the way I can filter on everything!
