Costco River Cruises
To compliment their thousands of regular cruises by sea, Costco also offers an impressive selection of river cruises thanks to their partnership with Viking River Cruises and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises. Costco river cruises are primarily in Europe, but rivers in other parts of the world can also be navigated on a cruise vacation booked via Costco. Below is a guide to Costco river cruises, which outlines some of the options available and explains the best way to go about booking a river cruise Read more […] -
Costco Luxury Cruises
Costco and luxury make strange bedfellows. Costco isn’t a purveyor of luxury goods, and in fact it is essentially associated with the opposite – massive amounts of discounted products. Just the same, Costco offers luxury cruises through their travel division (Costco Travel), which is nice because you can get a price break on what would otherwise be (and in fact still is) an expensive cruise. Below is a guide to Costco’s luxury cruises, as well as some advice on how to book a luxury cruise via Costco Read more […] -
Costco Cruise Getaways
Although seemingly a generic term to refer to any given Costco cruise vacation, Costco’s “getaways” are actually a specific type of cruise. In the parlance of Costco, a getaway is a short cruise vacation that lasts less than seven days. The Costco getaway cruises are the types of sailings you could take without having to coordinate a full week off of work, or that you might be able to fit into a larger vacation without too much trouble. They are transient escapes, not full-blown vacations, that are essentially like extended weekends, even though they don’t exclusively take place over a weekend. Below is a brief overview of Costco cruise getaways, which explains what they are and what is available (and also makes a few geographical points along the way). Read more […] -
Last-Minute Costco Cruises
Last-minute Costco cruises, as you can probably guess, are cruises offered by Costco that can be purchased at the last minute, often at a discounted rate. You can book last-minute cruises with essentially any cruise line or travel company – all you have to do is, well, book at the last-minute – but Costco specifically advertises their last-minute offerings and dedicates a section of their website to them. They are therefore something of a focus for Costco. All Costco’s last-minute cruises are also classified as “featured deals,” which means that the trips will be discounted in one way or another – you’ll get a special rate for being a Costco member or you’ll get shipboard credit. Below we assess Costco’s last-minute cruises, providing you with a guide to the various offerings as you contemplate your next vacation. Read more […] -
Costco Cruises with the Grand Princess
A couple of months or so ago, the Grand Princess offered one of Costco’s top-selling cruises. At the moment, this is no longer the case, but the Grand Princess is still a very popular ship that Costco members have rated highly. Because of its once (and perhaps future) top-selling status, we decided the Grand Princess needs its own article. Below we supply an overview of the cruises you can take with the Grand Princess, as well as explain how to book Grand Princess cruises through Costco Travel. Read more […] -
Costco Cruises in Hawaii with Pride of America
The Pride of America, the Norwegian Cruise Line ship that sails among the Hawaiian Islands, is used for one of Costco’s top-selling cruises. Like other top-selling cruises, the Pride of America’s itinerary is seven days long, but rather than being offered periodically or every other week, the Norwegian cruise ship offers the same cruise week after week. For the foreseeable future and probably beyond, the Pride of America sails the same route among the Hawaiian Islands. Indeed, the Pride of America Read more […]
