Costco Cruises to North America
North America is generally a cruise departure point, not a destination, and even when a cruise destination is in North America, like Alaska or Hawaii, the cruise is generally marketed as a cruise to that particular destination. Thus, you hear of plenty of cruises to Alaska, but not many “cruises to North America.” However, Costco Travel does market North America as a cruise destination – that is, there are a number of Costco cruises to North America – and below we have outlined what these cruises are (often cruises to New England and Canada). We have also included a couple of notes related to booking Costco cruises to North America because of the way Costco organizes their listings. Read more […] -
Costco Cruises to Mexico
To many Americans, “Mexico” is practically synonymous with “vacation destination,” and while this is obviously a problematically narrow view of large and culturally rich nation, this doesn’t change the fact that millions of tourist from the U.S. funnel into Mexico every year. Given the volume of tourism, it makes sense that there are lots of cruises to Mexico, and also that Costco Travel offers plenty of these cruises. (Costco Travel, at least at this point, only caters to their U.S. members, so obviously Mexico is a focus of their operations.) To give you an idea of what Costco cruises to Mexico are available, we’ve compiled a guide that spells out the range of possibilities, as well as touch on booking Mexican cruises with Costco as we conclude.

Costco Cruises to Hawaii
As we explained in a previous article about Hawaii cruises, Hawaii, despite being a major tourist destination, isn’t necessarily known for its cruises, at least compared to some of the major cruise destinations. Hawaii’s relatively small role in the cruise industry is also reflected by the number of cruises that sail there. This can be seen when looking at the total number of cruises that sail to and from Hawaii every year, and it can also be seen when looking at the Costco cruises to Hawaii, which is the focus of the present article. Since there aren’t an overwhelming number of Costco cruises to Hawaii, which can’t be said about Costco’s Caribbean or Mediterranean offerings, for example, it is actually possible to provide a fairly thorough overview of what exactly is available. Below we do exactly this, outlining Costco’s Hawaiian cruises and explaining how you can go about booking one, which Costco makes slightly more complicated than you might hope. Read more […] -
Costco Cruises to Europe and the Mediterranean
Along with the Caribbean, the Mediterranean is probably the most popular cruising territory in the world. The Caribbean is to the Americas what the Mediterranean is to Europe, and given that Costco Travel is pretty deeply integrated into the global cruise industry, it stands to reason that there are many Costco cruises to Europe and the Mediterranean. (Of course, these aren’t necessarily separate destinations, as a cruise to Europe often involves some time on the Mediterranean, and a cruise on the Mediterranean almost always has a few stops at European ports.) To help you make sense of all the options, we’ve composed a guide to Costco cruises to Europe and the Mediterranean, which addresses not only the cruises themselves, but also how to book them through Costco Travel.

How to Find Costco Cruises to Australia and New Zealand
Costco cruises to Australia and/or New Zealand are difficult to find. They aren’t as hard to find as Costco cruises to Antarctica, which despite indications to the contrary do not seem to exist, but they are essentially hidden on the Costco Travel website. This would make a degree of sense if Australia and New Zealand only ever served as incidental stops along a much longer cruise (e.g., a world cruise), but this isn’t the case. Indeed, Costco explicitly advertises Australia and New Zealand as cruise destinations, but then makes these cruises hard to unearth (which presumably isn’t intentional). For this reason, we have composed a guide to Costco’s cruises to Australia and New Zealand. If you follow this guide when booking your cruise through Costco, you’ll avoid a lot of frustration.

Costco Cruises to the Caribbean
It is hard to think of a cruise without thinking of the Caribbean, and it is hard to think of the Caribbean without thinking of cruises. The Caribbean is deeply integrated into the cruise industry and therefore deeply integrated into Costco Travel, which offers (often discounted) cruises to destinations all over the world to Costco members. For a significant portion of the year, there are hundreds of Costco cruises to the Caribbean per month, and almost every cruise line Costco partners with offers Caribbean cruises. To guide you through the plethora of possibilities, we have compiled a guide to Costco cruises to the Caribbean, and also explained how to book them through Costco Travel. Read more […]
