FAQs for 2-Night Cruises

A two-night cruise costs around $500* per person. To get accurate pricing information, it is recommended to check with different cruise lines or travel agencies.

The benefits of taking a 2-night cruise are a quick getaway, cost-effectiveness, a sample cruise experience, and access to onboard amenities such as entertainment and recreational facilities.

To enjoy a 2-night cruise with a family plan, pack wisely, make reservations in advance, participate in family-friendly activities, and take advantage of childcare services.

Some popular cruise lines known for shorter itineraries and weekend getaways include Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, and MSC Cruises. Each cruise line offers different onboard experiences, amenities, and destinations, so it's recommended to research their offerings and read reviews to find the one that aligns with your preferences and budget.

It depends on your departure port and destination.
  • For closed-loop cruises (e.g., departing and returning to the same U.S. port with stops in nearby destinations like the Bahamas or Mexico), a passport is not always required, but a government-issued photo ID and birth certificate are needed.
  • A passport is strongly recommended for international sailings or from non-U.S. ports. Always check with your cruise line for the documents necessary before booking.

For a 2-night cruise, pack light and smart. Essentials include:
  • Casual daywear (shorts, tees, swimwear)
  • One evening outfit (some ships have dress codes for dinner)
  • Toiletries and medications
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat
  • Travel documents (passport or ID)
Tip: You likely won't need checked luggage—carry-ons are ideal.

Not always. Most standard fares include water, tea, coffee, and juice during meals, but alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are typically extra. Some cruise lines offer drink packages (daily or full-cruise) that can be added at booking. Be sure to check what's included before you sail.

Yes, many 2-day cruises include a short stop at one port where you can explore on your own or book an optional shore excursion. However, shore time is limited, so plan accordingly.

While not mandatory, it’s highly recommended that you get basic cruise travel insurance that covers trip delays, medical emergencies, or cancellations—even for short cruises.

Most cruise lines automatically add gratuities to your bill (about $14*–$20* per person per day). You can prepay this or settle it at the end of the cruise. Check with your cruise line’s policy before sailing.

Cruise lines generally do not allow outside food, and policies on alcohol vary:
  • Most allow a bottle of wine per adult
  • No outside liquor or beer is typically allowed
Always review your cruise line’s guidelines before packing.
