Deal collection
Rare & Affordable
A one-of-a-kind itinerary at a great price — One-of-a-kind itinerary.
Most cruises are variations on a handful of busy routes. A few itineraries stand nearly alone — uncommon port mixes, rare crossings, routes only one ship runs this season. Rarity usually raises price; not always.
Rare & Affordable flags one-of-a-kind (or near-unique) itineraries that still land at strong per-day prices, with Deal and Line grades on every card.
If you want the reasoning underneath this collection, read how itinerary rarity is scored — the collection is the worked example, the concept is why it matters.

- Often, but not always. This collection exists for the cases where rarity and ordinary (or better) per-day pricing show up together.
