Captain of Cruise is an informational website focused on cruise travel. We publish articles, guides, deal roundups, and newsletters. We are not a travel agency or booking platform. We do not take reservations, process payments, or issue tickets. Any bookings you make are with third-party cruise lines or travel providers.
We are collaborating with select cruise lines to share discounts and promotional opportunities, including the possibility of a giveaway for one (1) complimentary cruise for two (2) (see Section 6 for important details and disclaimers).
By accessing or using the site, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you must not use the site. We may update these Terms from time to time, and your continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract to use the site and subscribe to our newsletter. Access to certain promotions may be restricted by jurisdiction, and additional eligibility criteria may apply as set out in the applicable Official Rules.
Content on the site is provided for general information and inspiration. While we strive for accuracy, cruise itineraries, prices, availability, amenities, health and safety policies, and entry/visa requirements change frequently. You must verify all details directly with the cruise line or travel provider before booking. We do not control or guarantee any third-party offerings.
We may display coupons, discount codes, promotions, and referral links to third-party cruise lines or travel providers. Availability, pricing, and terms are set by the third party and may change without notice. We do not guarantee the validity or continued availability of any deal or discount. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Third-party terms and privacy practices apply when you leave our site.
From time to time we may run sweepstakes, contests, or giveaways, including a planned opportunity to win one (1) free cruise for two (2).
