About
CruiseChampion helps you choose and book a cruise. It’s for people who want to know whether a cruise suits them before they pay: which line fits the way they like to travel, which ship and cabin meet their needs, whether an itinerary gives them the time ashore they want, and what to check in a fare.
What we cover
- Cruise lines: who each line may suit, who may prefer another, and what can differ from ship to ship.
- Ships and cabins: what a specific ship and cabin category offer, including layouts and beds.
- Itineraries and onboard life: port time, days at sea, dining and facilities.
- Loyalty programs: what you earn and can use, and whether it should change a choice you’d otherwise make.
- Booking and fares: comparing quotes and booking channels, and what to check if a fare changes after you book.
That’s the full remit, and it will take time to build. We’re a new publication. We check factual claims against sources and label invented examples clearly. Our first guide covers checking a cabin’s bed layout. We don’t track fares or send price alerts.
Specifications, examples, judgments and reviews
We keep different kinds of information separate:
- Researched details. Taken from an official source, named with the ship, category, sailing or fare they apply to and the date we checked.
- Illustrative examples. Invented listings or numbers used to show a method. They’re labeled, and they don’t describe any real ship, cruise line or price.
- Editorial judgments. When we say a line or ship may suit some travelers better than others, we’ll label it as our judgment and show what it’s based on.
- Personal reviews. We don’t publish these yet. If we do in future, we’ll say whose experience it is and when it happened, and we won’t present an example as one.
What we don’t do
- We don’t publish star ratings or “best cruise line” rankings without a stated method, or review every cabin.
- We don’t take bookings, sell cruises or show live prices.
- We don’t promise that a cabin, fare, refund or itinerary will be available.
