Interline Cruises

Many cruise lines offer special interline fares to qualifying airline employees, retirees and eligible family members. We book interline sailings across the lines we work with, check your eligibility before you book and compare interline pricing against the public promotions, so you get the better deal.

When you browse sailings in our booking engine, eligible cruises show an interline fare alongside the regular fares. Found one you like? Send us the sailing and we will take it from there.

Good to Know

A few things that apply to most interline programs.

Interline fares are capacity-controlled and offered on select sailings only. They are never guaranteed.
Most lines ask for a current employee ID, retiree ID or employment letter, sometimes within a set number of hours after booking.
Rules for retirees, family members and the number of staterooms differ by cruise line.
If eligibility cannot be verified, the cruise line may reprice the booking at the standard fare.
Interline fares appear on individual sailings in our booking engine. Not every sailing has one, so browse a few dates or ask us to search for you.
Whether an interline fare can be combined with other offers depends on the cruise line. We will check which option saves you more.

See our interline eligibility directory for each cruise line’s rules. Rules change without notice, so we confirm them with the line before you book.

Who Interline Cruises Are For

Interline fares are a travel benefit for people who work, or have worked, in the airline industry. Eligibility depends on the cruise line, so we check your situation before you book.

Active airline staff. Pilots, flight attendants, gate and ramp agents, mechanics, reservations and other employees of commercial passenger airlines. Some lines also include cargo carriers.
Airline retirees. Many lines accept retired airline employees with a retiree ID or a letter from the former employer.
Family members. Some lines extend interline fares to a spouse or partner, parents or dependent children, with or without the employee on board.
Aviation and travel-industry employees. Where a cruise line allows it, this can include air traffic controllers and reservation-system staff.

Interline Cruise Questions

What is an interline cruise rate?

It is a special fare some cruise lines offer to airline employees, retirees and eligible family members. Interline rates are capacity-controlled, so they are offered on select sailings only and are never guaranteed.

Is the interline fare always the cheapest option?

Not always. Public promotions are sometimes the better value, so we price both the interline fare and the public offers for your sailing and tell you which saves more.

Can retired airline employees book interline cruises?

Many cruise lines accept retirees, usually with a retiree ID or a letter from the former employer. Conditions differ by line, including for retirees of airlines that no longer operate.

Can my spouse or parents book without me?

It depends on the cruise line. Some require the eligible employee to sail, while others allow a qualifying family member to book a stateroom on their own.

What documents will I need?

Most lines ask for a current employee ID, retiree ID or employment letter, sometimes within a set number of hours after booking. If eligibility cannot be verified, the line may reprice the booking at the standard fare, so we tell you exactly what to send and when.

Do you charge a booking fee for interline cruises?

No. We don’t charge booking fees, for interline or any other cruise.
