With food, entertainment, accommodation and transport usually included in the cost of a cruise, holidays at sea already offer excellent value for money.
However, for those looking to make their cash stretch even further this year, travel resort Cruise Critic has compiled a list of top tips for passengers.
Instead of taking a shore excursion and paying for a guided tour of a destination, those on
cruise holidays can save money by requesting free maps and touring independently, the website noted.
Meanwhile, holidaymakers hoping to indulge in some luxury spa treatments when onboard can often make savings by booking appointments on port days and looking out for special offers on ship notice boards.
In related news, Cruise Critic claimed last week that a break at sea is the perfect option for Brits who want to take a eurozone holiday without having to worry about currency fluctuations.
