10 Best Value Cruises

Getting value for money is about minimising how much you spend per day on a cruise. To demonstrate this, we've ordered cruises by how much they cost for every night at sea, to show you which give you the most bang for your buck. The cheapest cruises are the longest cruises - Italy to Cape Town on the MSC Opera and Cape Town to Italy on the MSC Sinfonia, followed by the cruises between Cape Town and Durban.
