Real All-In Cruise Costs — by CruiseClarify

Current figures only. This repository holds the current snapshot and nothing else. Earlier quarterly snapshots are not published here. The permanent address for the current files is https://cruiseclarify.com/dataset/ (for example https://cruiseclarify.com/dataset/cruise-costs.csv), and it always serves the latest version. Older repositories under this account may hold earlier snapshots; they are no longer updated.

📅 This is a dated snapshot — refreshed September 2026

Cruise prices change constantly. Every figure here is a point-in-time value, not live data, accurate as of September 2026. The next quarterly refresh is due December 2026 — after that, treat this copy as historical.

If you are reading or reusing this a quarter or more after September 2026, the numbers will have drifted. Always pull the current version before quoting or republishing:

Live figures: https://cruiseclarify.com

Latest dataset (permanent address): https://cruiseclarify.com/dataset/

And confirm the current price with the cruise line before presenting any figure as today's price.

A clean, structured dataset of what cruise guests actually pay on board — gratuities, Wi-Fi, drinks packages, specialty dining and surcharges — across 37 cruise lines, normalized to a single comparable basis.

Most published cruise figures are list prices buried in marketing pages or locked inside calculators. This dataset is the opposite: one tidy table, every figure on the same footing, sourced and dated, free to reuse with credit.

Maintained by CruiseClarify — independent, affiliate-free cruise cost research. This dataset is the raw table behind the website, which also has:

a free all-in cost calculator that turns these figures into a trip total — https://cruiseclarify.com
a side-by-side comparison of two cruises on their real all-in cost — https://cruiseclarify.com/compare-all-in
plain-English guides to each major line's gratuities, drinks packages and Wi-Fi — https://cruiseclarify.com/research
a change log of every figure updated since July 2026 — https://cruiseclarify.com/what-changed

Every figure is reviewed on a fixed quarterly cycle. When a line changes a price in between, the website is corrected when the change is found and it is logged on the change log; this dataset follows, at the latest at the next quarterly refresh.

What's in it

37 cruise lines — mainstream, premium, premium-plus, luxury/all-inclusive, expedition, and UK/EU/Australian market variants.
Basis: every monetary figure is per person, per day, in the line's native currency (USD unless the currency field says otherwise) — and reflects what the guest actually pays, not the headline list price.
Fields per line: segment, currency, all-inclusive flag, how the drinks package works (package_treatment), gratuities, Wi-Fi (headline + range), whether drinking is covered by the fare (drinks_included), drinks-package price and service charge, specialty-dining range, onboard surcharge, and the verification date.

Files

File	Grain	What it is
`cruise-costs.csv`	one row per line, with one exception (see `row_note`)	Flattened headline figures — opens in Excel / Numbers / Google Sheets.
`cruise-packages.csv`	one row per package	Every drinks package, bundle, upgrade and credit, with `type` and `covers_*` flags so bundles are never confused with standalone drinks packages.
`cruise-gratuities-tiers.csv`	one row per cabin tier	Daily gratuities by cabin grade (standard, suite, Grills, Haven, Yacht Club…), with the `currency` each amount is stated in.
`cruise-costs.json`	nested	Full-fidelity structured data — keeps every tier, range, and source note.

cruise-costs.csv is the quick-look table; the package and tier tables hold the finer grain that doesn't fit one-row-per-line; cruise-costs.json is the complete record (everything above plus the provenance notes behind each figure).

All CSVs are UTF-8 (with a byte-order mark, so Excel renders € and £ correctly); the JSON is plain UTF-8.

A few definitions

package_treatment — how a line's drinks package behaves: drinks_only (covers drinks alone), bundle (genuinely covers Wi-Fi / gratuities / dining too), premium_fare (near-inclusive fare; package is a drinks upgrade), prepaid_credit (Virgin's Bar Tab), no_package (Disney). Blank where a line isn't individually modeled in the calculator — its drinks story is still fully given by drinks_included, drinks_package_offered and drinks_package_per_day.
Blank cells mean not applicable / not separately tracked — never "unknown." Examples: no wifi_range when a line has a single Wi-Fi price; no drinks_package_* when no package is sold; no specialty-dining figures for a few expedition lines we don't track venue-by-venue.
gratuities_charge_basis — automatic means the gratuity is charged whether or not you act, and it is included in gratuities_per_day. discretionary means nothing is charged: gratuities_per_day is 0, because a voluntary guideline is not an unavoidable cost and must never be summed into a total as though it were. Blank means gratuities are in the fare, so the question does not arise.
gratuities_guidance_low / _high / _currency — where a line suggests an amount without charging it, the suggestion is published here for display only. Never add it to a total. It carries its own currency, which may differ from the row's currency — Ponant, for example, suggests €10–12 per passenger per day on a row denominated in USD. Blank means the line publishes no suggested amount, which is different from suggesting zero.
wifi_included — a deliberately narrow test: some internet access is included for every guest without a separate required purchase. A line passes even if the free tier is slow, metered, messaging-only or device-limited. Included Wi-Fi is not a promise of unrestricted service. What the free tier can actually do is recorded separately in wifi_baseline_access (browsing, messaging or metered) and wifi_free_hours_per_day.
Wi-Fi headline price — where Wi-Fi is sold, the quoted figure is the cheapest unlimited plan usable for general browsing; social-media-only tiers are excluded from the price. (This governs which price is quoted, not the included/not decision above.)
Service charge — drinks_service_pct is the % added to a drinks package; drinks_service_in_price says whether that's already inside the quoted price.
verified — the most recent verification date recorded for any published figure on that line. It is not a claim that every figure in the row was checked on that date: a line is a bundle of figures with their own vintages, and this column surfaces the newest. cruise-costs.json carries the per-figure dates and is the honest record if you need to know when a specific number was last confirmed. A month-only stamp (2026-06) means "sometime that month" and sorts before any dated day within it. A figure with no date of its own is no evidence of a recent check. A blank price on its own does not mean free or zero: check the *_included columns and the row_note; a figure held back because the line publishes no price we can trace is listed under figuresWithheld in the JSON and explained in the row_note.
gratuities_currency — blank on almost every row, meaning gratuities_per_day is in the row's currency. Filled where the line states its gratuity in a different currency and publishes no amount in the row's own: Princess Cruises (AU) states its crew appreciation in USD on an AUD row. We never convert it, so do not add it to the row's AUD figures without converting at your own rate. cruise-gratuities-tiers.csv carries the same information in its currency column.
row_note — every row ends with the same plain-language note on the verified date and on blank prices (the same wording is in the JSON header as verified_note). Beyond that, it is only used in two cases. Where a figure is withheld, it says why. Where a line's gratuities rule gives different answers to different bookings on the same sailing, the line is published as more than one row, and this column says who each row applies to. Today that is one line, Princess Cruises (AU): row princessAu covers every booking not made and paid in Australia or New Zealand, which is charged crew appreciation; row princessAu-anz-bookings covers bookings made and paid in Australia or New Zealand, where it is in the fare. Both rows share every other figure. cruise-costs.json keeps a single princessAu record; its line_count counts lines and row_count counts CSV rows.
drinks_price_confidence — verified = a sourced figure; approximate = a ballpark (vague/unsourced basis — treat as indicative, not exact); blank = no priced package (all-inclusive, no package, or a credit model). So a number is never mistaken for solid when it isn't.
drinks_included — is drinking covered by the fare itself? yes (all-inclusive lines), partial (some drinks included, e.g. wine/beer with meals), or no (you pay per drink or buy a package). This is separate from drinks_package_offered, which only says whether a paid add-on package is sold.
dining_included — are the ship's restaurants covered by the fare? yes (specialty cover then reads $0), partial (most dining included, some venues charge), or no (specialty restaurants carry the cover charge shown in specialty_dining_*).
specialty_dining_status — included means unconditionally covered, so the 0 in specialty_dining_low/_high is a true price. included_with_limits means covered only up to an allowance, or with named venues that always charge — and in that case no figure is published at all, because an unconditional 0 would be a claim the line does not make. charged means the range is a real cover charge.
Included items read $0. When an item is covered by the fare unconditionally, its *_included flag is yes and its per-day figure is 0 — meaning no extra cost, not missing data. All-inclusive lines therefore show 0 across the cost columns. Where an inclusion carries limits or exceptions, the figure is left blank rather than 0, and the status column says so — we do not represent a conditional or unknown price with an unconditional zero. A blank cell means not applicable (e.g. no Wi-Fi price range, or no named package), never "unknown."

Currency note

Figures are in each line's home-market currency (USD, GBP, EUR or AUD — see the currency field). They are not converted to a single currency, because the prices are set and charged in those currencies. Convert at your own rate if needed.

Accuracy & freshness

This release is a dated snapshot: refreshed September 2026, next refresh due December 2026.

Cruise pricing changes often, and every figure here is a point-in-time value, not live data. Each line carries its own verified date (and the JSON carries last_refreshed / next_refresh_due). Treat the numbers as accurate as of September 2026 only.

The September 2026 refresh re-read every line that had not been checked since June against the cruise line's own published pages. Twenty-one records were opened and thirteen corrected. Five of the corrections changed what a guest would pay, and they ran both ways: Aurora Expeditions, Ponant, Hapag-Lloyd and Celestyal were understated, while Royal Caribbean's Australian record was overstated. Per-figure evidence for each change is kept alongside the source data.

If you are using this after December 2026, do not present these figures as current — fetch the latest release first:
