Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all services provided by CruiseClue, including our cruise search engine, stateroom selection tools (Interior, Oceanview, Balcony, Suite), personalized cruise quotes, customer concierge support, and telephone bookings.

By accessing or using our website, submitting booking requests, or speaking with our travel specialists, you acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our site and services.

We share traveler information strictly on a need-to-know basis with trusted entities required to complete your cruise vacation:

• •
  Cruise Line Operators: Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity, MSC, Princess, Holland America, and other cruise operators to secure your cabin and manifest.
• •
  Port & Government Authorities: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, port security, and international immigration officials as mandated by maritime safety laws.
• •
  Travel Insurance & Transfer Providers: Third-party travel protection underwriters and port transfer partners when you explicitly add these services.

We use standard browser cookies, web beacons, and local storage to optimize your browsing experience. Cookies remember your recent cruise destination searches, preserve selected cabin options, and provide aggregate metrics on website performance.

You have full control over your cookies. You can set your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is placed. Note that disabling essential cookies may impact interactive features such as the cruise quote generator or cabin filter.

CruiseClue employs robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration of your personal data:

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to complete your travel arrangements, provide active customer service, resolve disputes, and comply with statutory accounting and tax regulations. Once the retention period expires, your data is securely deleted or pseudonymized.

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as California under the CCPA/CPRA, or European Economic Area under the GDPR), you have specific legal rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of the specific personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate travel documents or contact details.
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your data, subject to legal cruise record retention mandates.
• Right to Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from promotional newsletters or quote updates at any time via the link in our emails.

To exercise any of these privacy rights, please contact our Data Protection Team at privacy@cruiseclue.com.

CruiseClue services are directed toward adults aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. When minors travel on a cruise, their information (such as name and date of birth) must be provided exclusively by a parent or legal guardian for booking manifest and emergency safety compliance.

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy to reflect enhancements in our cruise booking technology, industry standards, or legal requirements. When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. Continued use of our site signifies acceptance of any updated terms.
