What is onboard credit (OBC)?

Onboard credit is ship money you can use during your cruise—like a prepaid gift card. Spend it on drinks, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, spa treatments, excursions, or onboard shopping.

How does Zipsea give me more onboard credit than others?

Travel agents earn commission on every booking, and most keep it. We don't—we pass back the maximum onboard credit the cruise line allows, every time.

Do I pay more to book with Zipsea?

No. You pay the same published fare you'd see on the cruise line's website.

How much onboard credit will I actually get?

It depends on your fare and the cruise line's rules. As a ballpark, shorter cruises usually allow $50–$100 and longer cruises $150–$500+. When you search a sailing, we show you the exact amount.
