Cost of 2021 Europe Cruises

[Luca Mifsud]

Is it just me, or are the 2021 Eurpean cruises much more expensive than previous years? Harmony in June is starting at 1600 euro for interior room. I honestly think that won't be affordable, save for the select few.

It's not just you. European cruises have unfortunately been stupidly expensive for the last 3 or 4 years now. It's almost like Royal are trying to price themselves out of the market. We are actually able to cruise more cheaply by flying across the Atlantic to the Caribbean than we are to sail in our own backyard.

Definitely, but I found another issue too. I'm from Malta, and for some reason the same Harmony sailing is over 400 euro more on the Maltese site than the other EU sites, like Italy. Go figure.

I've always found newer ships priced higher than older ships.  I have noticed a few good prices in Europe off-peak, but I don't think one can expect much discounting.
