Why book through
SailMatch?
Cruise pricing is complicated. Certified travel agents can reach fares and perks you can't get on your own, and SailMatch makes them compete to win your booking.
Better prices
Several agents compete for the same cruise at once, so each one leads with their best price. You compare the offers side by side and take the strongest, no haggling required.
Exclusive perks
Onboard credit, cabin upgrades, and group rates that cruise lines offer only through certified agents, not to travelers booking direct.
Save time
One request instead of a dozen phone calls. Tell us the exact cruise you want once, and competing offers come back to you within 24 hours.
How SailMatch works
Step 1
Tell us what you're after.
Pick the exact cruise you want to book: cruise line, ship, sailing date, and cabin, plus who's traveling and the perks that matter most. Because every agent quotes that very same cruise, the offers come back truly comparable. Most people finish in under two minutes, and we never ask for a card.
Step 2
Agents respond, privately.
Verified travel agents see your request, but never each other's offers, so every quote is their honest best. Each one is a single, clear offer: a price for the cabin you asked for, plus any perks they add, like onboard credit, an upgrade, or a few extras. They all arrive within 24 hours.
Step 3
Pick the one that earned it.
Compare the offers side by side, price against perks. Ask any quote up to three questions before you decide, all while staying anonymous. Accept the one that fits, and that agent's full details unlock so they can handle the booking. That's where SailMatch steps aside.
About 2 minutes. We never charge travelers.
Are you a travel agent?
Quote requests from travelers who are ready to book, with no advertising spend and no monthly fees. SailMatch charges a small fee on the base fare, and only when your quote converts to a booking.
Frequently asked questions
You describe your cruise once. Verified agents then compete to send you their best offer for it. You compare the quotes side by side and accept the one you want. It is free, and you are never obligated to book.
Nothing. Travelers never pay SailMatch a cent. Agents pay a small platform fee, and only after you place a deposit on a cruise. If you never book, no one pays anything.
Agents have 24 hours to submit their offers on your request. You then have 48 hours to compare them and accept one. If your request closes without any quotes, you can republish it for a fresh round with one tap.
It is the agent’s real, bookable offer for your exact cabin at the time they quote it. Cruise pricing moves with availability, so if something changes before you book, the agent updates or withdraws the quote on SailMatch and the change is flagged on your request. Your agent confirms the final fare with you when you book.
Not until you accept a quote. Beforehand, agents see your sailing request but not who you are. Your name, email, and phone are shared only with the agent whose quote you accept, so no one can contact you before you choose.
Yes. You can ask up to three questions on any quote before accepting it. The conversation stays inside SailMatch, and since you are anonymous until you accept, any phone numbers or email addresses get filtered out of these messages on both sides. So you can do your due diligence without giving away who you are.
Every agent holds a valid IATA or CLIA credential and is reviewed by our team before they are allowed to quote. Each quote you receive is labeled Verified Agent, so you know it came from someone who cleared that check, even though their name stays hidden until you accept.
You receive the agent’s full details (name, agency, email, and phone) and work with them directly to book. The booking, payment, cabin choices, and any later changes happen between you, the agent, and the cruise line. SailMatch’s job is done once you are matched.
Your agent and the cruise line handle that, not SailMatch. The agent you chose is your point of contact for changes, cancellations, deposits, and documents.
Of course. It is an easy way to see how your current agent’s offer compares to others, and they are welcome to quote on SailMatch too.
Yes. SailMatch is open to certified agents and agencies with a valid IATA or CLIA credential. You verify once, compete for real quote requests, and pay a platform fee only when a match actually books. Open the For travel agents link in the menu for the fee details and to apply.
