That figure—and most fares below—was for an interior cabin before taxes and fees, so it was not the full amount a traveler would pay. These are past fare snapshots, not prices available to book now.
No source verifies a definitive, industrywide top ten for 2024. The table is a transparent editorial compilation of ten low-price examples for 2024 departures, ordered by the advertised per-person fare. Nine examples come from Cruzely’s 2024 fare list; the additional Carnival example is from a separate, Carnival-focused comparison. The fare basis is not stated for that tenth-source example, so it should not be treated as directly comparable.
Ten low advertised fares for 2024 departures
Prices are per person as reported in the cited sources. Unless a row says otherwise, Cruzely’s June 2023 list describes interior-cabin prices before taxes and fees and warns that fares could change before booking. The fare-per-night column divides the listed fare by the stated number of nights; it is a simple comparison, not an all-in trip cost.
| Rank | Advertised fare | Cruise and departure | Listed itinerary | Approx. fare per night | Fare basis and caveats |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $169 | MSC Magnifica; Miami, March 29, 2024 | Key West and Ocean Cay | $56.33 if three nights | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. Cruzely’s page heading says four nights, while its body says three; verify the sailing duration against the itinerary record before relying on a per-night comparison. |
| 2 | $179 | Carnival Conquest; Miami, September 30, 2024; four nights | Half Moon Cay and Nassau | $44.75 | A separate Cruzely Carnival comparison reports an interior-cabin fare. Its available description does not establish whether taxes and fees are included, so the figure is not fully comparable with the other before-fee fares. |
| 3 | $189 | Carnival Conquest; Miami, December 2, 2024; four nights | Princess Cays and Nassau | $47.25 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. |
| 4 | $227 | Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas; Vancouver to Los Angeles, September 22, 2024; six nights, one way | Victoria, San Francisco and Catalina Island | $37.83 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. As a one-way repositioning voyage, it may require separate transportation planning at the destination. |
| 5 | $290 | Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas; Galveston, September 26, 2024; four nights | Cozumel | $72.50 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. |
| 6 | $294 | Carnival Freedom; Port Canaveral, December 2, 2024; five nights | Grand Turk and Amber Cove | $58.80 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. |
| 7 | $309 | Caribbean Princess; Fort Lauderdale, April 14, 2024; six nights | Princess Cays, Grand Turk and Nassau | $51.50 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. |
| 8 | $448 | Royal Caribbean Quantum of the Seas; Seattle, May 13, 2024; seven nights | Sitka, Skagway, Endicott Arm, Juneau and Victoria | $64.00 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. |
| 9 | $491 | Royal Caribbean Harmony of the Seas; Galveston, September 8, 2024; six nights | Costa Maya, Roatan and Cozumel | $81.83 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. |
| 10 | $499 | Carnival Magic; Miami, October 5, 2024; eight nights | Amber Cove, San Juan, St. Maarten and St. Thomas | $62.38 | Interior cabin, before taxes and fees. |

What these prices do—and do not—tell you
A cruise fare is not the whole vacation budget
Most fares in this list exclude taxes and fees. They also do not represent a complete trip budget: getting to the departure port, lodging before embarkation, transportation home, onboard spending and other trip expenses can change the amount a traveler needs. The source figures do not establish those additional costs.
Fare per night is only a rough comparison
The per-night figures above use the advertised fare divided by the listed voyage length. They do not account for the unresolved MSC duration discrepancy, taxes and fees, the separate fare-basis uncertainty for the $179 example, or the very different itineraries. A one-way six-night voyage is not interchangeable with a short round-trip-style getaway simply because its divided fare looks lower.

The advertised fare reflects a particular cabin and date
The main Cruzely list reports interior-cabin prices for particular departure dates, not a general price for every cabin, sailing or passenger configuration. Its advice is that shorter voyages, dates when school is in session, inside cabins and older ships can be ways to find lower fares; those are possible search angles, not guarantees. The fare snapshot was published in 2023 and could change before booking.
Other 2024-era fares that should not be mixed into this ranking
Several other published prices look relevant but answer a different question, so they are not included in the ten rows.

- Future sailings advertised in 2024: Cruzely’s July 30, 2024 selection included interior-cabin fares with taxes and fees included for sailings in 2025 and 2026—not 2024 departures. Examples were $439 for Carnival Radiance’s six-night Los Angeles–Mexico cruise departing January 6, 2025; $509 for Carnival Paradise’s five-night Tampa–Bahamas cruise departing February 7, 2026; $529 for MSC Divina’s seven-night Miami Caribbean cruise departing November 30, 2025; and $501 for Royal Caribbean Wonder of the Seas’ three-night Miami–Bahamas cruise departing January 23, 2026. Those are historical advertised prices, not current offers. Cruzely’s selected under-$550 fares were a curated group, not necessarily the cheapest available cruises.
- Expired Princess promotion: Princess Cruises advertised fares as low as $399 per person for a seven-day Western Caribbean voyage in 2024. The official sale was available through September 5, 2023, subject to availability. Its press release does not establish the cabin and fee treatment needed to compare that floor with the interior-cabin examples above. It is not a current price. Princess Cruises’ July 10, 2023 announcement describes the promotion.
How to compare a cruise price responsibly
When reviewing a fare today, compare like with like before deciding that one sailing is cheaper. Check:
- The total price for the party, and whether taxes and fees are included.
- Cabin category and occupancy assumptions.
- Number of nights, sailing date and itinerary.
- Whether the ship returns to its departure port or ends elsewhere.
- Departure-port access and any separate transport or overnight stay needed.
- What is excluded from the fare and what you expect to spend onboard.
Because every departure in the ranking has passed, use the figures as historical examples of advertised fares only. Compare current cruise fares directly with current offers and their stated inclusions rather than using these 2024 snapshots as a booking benchmark.
