The amount of the down payment required for a cruise varies depending on factors such as the cruise line, itinerary, cabin category, and booking terms.
Typically, cruise lines require passengers to pay a deposit at the time of booking to secure their reservation, with the remaining balance due by the final payment date. Down payment amounts can range from a small percentage of the total cruise fare to a fixed dollar amount per person, with some cruise lines offering promotional incentives or discounts for early bookings or larger down payments.
