Cruise travel agents ranked on five printed criteria from each advisor's own site, with sources and the date we checked.
Checked on 9 Oct 2026
Every score comes from the advisor's own page, read on 9 October 2026. Five criteria, weights that add to 100, and the same arithmetic for everyone.
Ties break alphabetically. Nobody paid to be on this list and nobody can. We do not rank on price, because we do not publish prices.

Free. Tell us the trip and we watch the offers, deadlines and storms around it.
No, you can book direct with any cruise line. An advisor helps with comparing lines, choosing a stateroom and pairing a sailing with a land trip. Ask what they handle after you book, and ask about fees before you start.
Each advisor states their own fees. Where an advisor says planning is free, we print that as stated by the advisor. Where a page says nothing, we say not stated.
It is a status an advisor says they hold. We print it as stated by the advisor and did not verify it with the cruise line or the association. It is one of five things in the score.
