Military & Veteran Cruise Discounts — Guaranteed Lowest Rates Since 2001
Then you’ve come to the right place!
Here’s why you should book with us:
TRUST
We’ve been in business since 2001! Thousands of military families trust us and you can too.
REAL Military Discounts
Our veteran and military discounts are guaranteed to be below the cruise lines’ lowest rate — always. We are experts in providing active duty, retired, and veteran cruise travel.
Our Service Is Free
We have no fees: no booking fee, no change fee, no cancellation fee — nothing. Our service is completely free to you.
We Monitor Your Rates
We always check to see if the rate and promotions are better for you at the time of your final payment. No one else does that.
Travel Insurance Discounts
We offer a military discount on travel insurance, with free insurance for kids. Limit: one free kid under 17 for each adult in the cabin.
Dependents Qualify
All U.S. and Canadian active and retired military, veterans, and their families qualify for our discounts.
When you book with us, you are not helping a corporate CEO buy a 3rd vacation home.
You are helping real families put food on the table, send their kids to school and care for aging parents. Thank you for helping us help you!

How to Book a Cruise with All Military Discounts Applied
You may book directly here on our website. Our cruise search engine is configured to reveal the cruises with the best military discounts, plus our extra discount is built right in. Need to book more than one cabin? Just book the first one and then start again to book the next one.
If you want to confirm that the rate shown online was the lowest rate available to you and to get our additional discount applied, you can call us at 1-866-9-MILITARY (866-964-5482) to book over the phone.
Be sure to tell the agent that you or a family member is part of the Armed Forces. We will then help you find the very best price.
If the cruise line is offering its own military rate, you will get that rate for as many cabins as they allow. Even if no military discounts are offered by the cruise line, we will apply our discount to your cabins. If you already booked with the cruise line directly before you found us and have not yet paid in full, call us anyway — we may be able to get a discount applied for you.
More reasons to book your cruise with Military Cruise Deals
Here are even more reasons why veterans and military families book their cruises with us.
We apply our discount to all cabins that contain friends and family of military personnel — so your whole group gets our discount.
If the price of your cruise comes down, we’ll get you the new lower rate or the difference in the form of onboard credits or upgrades. This applies only until the final payment date.
After the final payment date, cruise lines will not adjust rates or provide onboard credit but may offer an upgrade at their discretion.
When you book with us, you pay the lowest possible rate — lower than if you’d booked with the cruise line directly, on-base agencies, or other online cruise websites.
We help you save even more money on travel insurance and shore excursions. We never charge booking or cancellation fees of any kind.
We’re always available by phone — excellent customer service from a cruise expert every day of the week. We aren’t just order-takers. We are experienced cruise travel agents!
This is how we save you money even after your cruise is booked and paid for:
Between the time you book your cruise and your final payment date, we encourage you to check the rates offered by the cruise line. If it is less than what you paid, we will contact the cruise line and request that they re-fare your cruise to the new lower rate, upgrade you to a higher category, or provide an onboard credit for the difference.
Cruise lines do NOT always honor the request but we always try! Please note that cruise lines will NOT re-fare after the final payment date, and many of the new non-refundable deposit fares restrict making fare changes after booking. After the final payment date, cruise lines will not adjust rates or provide onboard credit but may offer an upgrade at their discretion.
The lower rate will NOT qualify for our online discount.
Who qualifies for our military cruise discounts?
Our cruise discounts apply to all U.S. and Canadian active duty, retired, and honorably discharged military personnel (veterans) — and their friends and family. Even military members from other countries are able to book most cruises with us. Email us to inquire!
Seniors who are veterans may qualify for all senior and military discounts available. See how to indicate senior and veteran status on our site.
While all spouses, dependents, family, and friends DO QUALIFY for the Military Cruise Deals discount, most cruise lines will often only allow their own veteran and military discounts to be applied to the cabin that contains the member of the military.
Getting the maximum military discounts and benefits applied correctly is sometimes not straightforward. We are experts on all cruise line military and veteran discount policies — we know exactly when special rates and benefits pop up, who qualifies, and how to get them applied.
Transferring your booking to Military Cruise Deals
At Military Cruise Deals we often hear "Your offer is better than what I booked directly with the cruise line — how can I get your offer?"
The answer is quite simple as long as you booked directly with the cruise line and not with another agency.
If you transfer the booking to us, you get to keep the same cabin, the same booking number, and the same rate. You will also get to take advantage of our offer.
You lose NOTHING when you transfer to us. Any past guest promotions or perks you had will remain on the booking.
Plus, we automatically check rates for reductions at the final payment date for you!
Even your non-military friends and family can take advantage of this opportunity. We will add our extra discount to ALL CABINS traveling with you, regardless of military affiliation.
The cruise lines have made the process to transfer your booking to a travel agency very easy. Transferring your booking to Military Cruise Deals is a simple way to save money.
Contact us today and see what special offer your cruise booking may be eligible to receive.
If you are past your final payment date or booked more than 30 days ago, the cruise line will not allow a transfer to us.
