Costco Transatlantic Cruises
Transatlantic ocean liners once played an essential role in global travel, ferrying people from Europe to North America, or vice versa, only for transportation purposes. People needed to get from one continent to the other, and the only way to do this was via ship. While few ships currently serve such a pragmatic transport role, sailings across the Atlantic live on in the form of transatlantic cruises, of which Costco Travel offers several. However, Costco transatlantic cruises are difficult to find, Read more [...]
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 Bermuda
Although a popular cruise destination, there are comparatively few Costco cruises to Bermuda. Costco's Bermuda cruise offerings are also not particularly diverse - the vast majority last about a week, leave from a port in a northern East Coast city, and follow similar itineraries. A cruise to Bermuda is therefore a perfect week-long vacation for a resident of an Eastern city looking to enjoy tropical weather and some time on the beach. Below we outline what Costco cruises to Bermuda are available, as well as explain how to book a Bermudan cruise via Costco Travel. Read more [...]
Costco Cruises to Alaska
Alaska is one of the most popular cruise destinations in the world, so basically all enterprises associated with the industry (cruise lines, travel agencies, deal-aggregation websites, etc.) offer or promote Alaskan cruises, including Costco cruises. (Costco cruises aren't really an "enterprise" in themselves, but are more like a division of Costco Travel, which provides travel-related service to Costco members.) There are a number of Costco cruises to Alaska on seven different cruise lines - Celebrity, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Disney, Norwegian, and Regent Seven Seas - and below we sort what is available through, and how you can book with, Costco directly.

Costco Cruises: A Guide and Overview
Most people think of Costco as a place to buy cheap food items and other merchandise in bulk, and while this is undoubtedly the company's primary function, Costco also offers cruises, which we will call - what else? - Costco cruises. There is no Costco cruise line or Costco cruise ship, so the company doesn't exactly "offer" cruises, at least not directly. Rather, the company facilitates the purchasing of, and makes arrangements for, the cruise vacations of members who book directly with Costco. Thus, Costco, or technically the subsidiary Costco Travel (wholly owned by Costco Wholesale Corporation), is a travel agency that Costco members can take advantage of. Below we provide a brief overview and guide to Costco cruises, which is really fairly simple.
