Advertising for cruise lines
Ocean, river and expedition lines can reach readers by the regions they sail, the rivers they cruise and the kind of trip they offer.
Why cruise lines advertise with us
- The audience is already shopping for a cruise. Our 388 cruise sites are about cruising and nothing else. Readers arrive from searches for cruise destinations, ships, rivers and deals.
- Targeting by itinerary. Put Alaska sailings on the Alaska sites, Nile sailings on the Nile sites, and expedition ships on the polar and Galapagos sites.
- Room to explain the product. Sponsored ship and itinerary features give you more than a banner can, and they keep working after the campaign ends.
- A seller’s point of view. Mister Cruise has sold cruises since 1974. We help shape the message the way we would pitch your ships to a client.
What we suggest by type of line
Ocean lines
Region packages for the Caribbean, Alaska and Hawaii, Europe and the rest of the world. Add leaderboards on our deal sites around a sale, a sponsored ship feature for a new ship, and Wave Season placements from January.
River lines
119 river sites, covering the Danube, Rhine, Seine and other European rivers, the Nile, Mekong, Irrawaddy and the Mississippi. Buy the rivers you sail, or all of them, and add featured deals on the Official River Cruise Directory.
Expedition and small-ship lines
Polar, Galapagos and expedition sites, plus our luxury and small-ship sites. These are smaller audiences with a high trip value, and they suit long-form sponsored features.
Before and after the cruise
Your passengers also book flights, pre-cruise hotels and land tours. Our 216 travel websites let you follow them there, for example with a cruise-and-stay offer on our Caribbean, Hawaii and Europe destination planners.
