Affiliate Disclosure

The Short Version

CruiseProdigy is an independent cruise research and planning resource. Some links on the site may be affiliate links. If you click one of those links and then make a qualifying purchase or booking with a third-party partner, CruiseProdigy may earn a commission.

This generally does not increase the price you pay.

Not every outbound link on CruiseProdigy is necessarily an affiliate link, but when affiliate links are used, they help support research, development, hosting, and ongoing site expansion.

How Disclosures Appear on CruiseProdigy

This page explains CruiseProdigy’s general affiliate policy. In addition, pages that contain affiliate links or monetized recommendations may also include shorter disclosures near relevant buttons, product recommendations, booking links, section headers, or call-to-action areas.

We do this so the commercial relationship is clear in the places where it matters most.

Editorial Independence

CruiseProdigy’s content is shaped by research, editorial judgment, and practical usefulness to cruisers. Affiliate relationships do not determine what information we include, how we describe a ship or port, or whether we note tradeoffs, logistical issues, limitations, or other details that matter to travelers.

Our goal is to build a resource that is useful first. Affiliate revenue helps support that work, but it does not control the substance of the content.

Current Participating Programs May Include

CruiseProdigy’s affiliate relationships may evolve as site features go live and expand. Current participating programs may include relationships with cruise booking providers, affiliate networks, retail platforms, excursion partners, and other travel-related merchants.

• Commission Junction / CruiseDirect: outbound booking links for cruise shopping and itinerary booking.
• Amazon Associates: retail product links for cruise gear and travel products, where applicable.
• Excursion partners such as Viator: outbound links for shore excursion research or booking, where applicable.

Specific partners, networks, and monetized sections may change over time as CruiseProdigy continues to launch and refine new features.

What This Means for You

• CruiseProdigy may earn a commission if you use an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase or booking.
• The price you pay is generally not increased because of that link.
• Third parties, not CruiseProdigy, control pricing, availability, booking terms, refund policies, cancellations, shipping, fulfillment, and customer service.
• Any transaction you complete through a third-party site is governed by that third party’s own terms, policies, and practices.
