Frequently Asked Questions

When should I cruise to Europe?

May through September is ideal for most European cruises. Norwegian Fjords and Baltic cruises are best June-August, while the Atlantic coast can be enjoyed April-October.

Do I need visas for a European cruise?

U.S. citizens typically don't need visas for short stays in European Union countries. However, requirements vary by nationality and some ports (like St. Petersburg) may require tour-arranged visas.

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—except we give you back the maximum onboard credit on top.

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.
