The currency used on board a cruise ship depends on where the ship is based and the itinerary it is sailing.
How Onboard Currency Works
Cruise ships typically use one main currency onboard for purchases such as drinks, dining, spa services, and onboard shopping. This currency may vary from one cruise to another.
Because this can differ by cruise line and itinerary, the exact onboard currency will be confirmed when you book.
How CruisePilot Helps
Your CruisePilot consultant will let you know:
- What currency is used on board your cruise
- How onboard payments are handled
- What payment methods are accepted
This ensures you know what to expect before you travel.
Key Takeaway
The onboard currency varies by cruise and itinerary. To avoid surprises, simply check with your CruisePilot consultant at the time of booking—they’ll provide the details specific to your cruise
