Exclusive interline cruise rates for airline employees, retirees, FedEx, UPS, and aviation professionals.
Interline cruise rates are discounted fares negotiated directly between cruise lines and aviation or logistics employers. They are not available to the general public, not advertised, and not bookable through standard cruise line websites. Savings typically range from 20% to 50% below published fares — and on some sailings, even more.
These rates are extended to active and retired employees of airlines, FedEx, UPS, air traffic control, and other eligible aviation professionals. Major participating lines include Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, MSC, Holland America, Princess, Carnival, Seabourn, Silversea, Regent Seven Seas, Oceania, HX, Windstar, and Virgin Voyages.
I am an interline travel specialist with over six years of experience verifying eligibility, locating available inventory, and booking these rates correctly. If you're an airline or logistics employee who has never booked an interline cruise, you may be sitting on travel discounts you've earned and never used.
If you're currently employed by a major US carrier, regional airline, or international airline, you're almost certainly eligible for interline cruise rates across multiple cruise lines. Verification typically requires a current employee ID and a recent pay stub or HR letter. Common savings range from 25–45% off published fares, with some sailings reaching 50% or more.
Most retired airline employees retain interline eligibility, though rules vary by former employer and cruise line. Documentation usually includes a retirement letter, a former employee ID, or a verification letter from your former HR department. I work regularly with retired pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, and operations staff from major US and international carriers.
FedEx and UPS employees qualify for interline cruise rates on many — but not all — major cruise lines. Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, and several others extend interline pricing to logistics-company employees. The good news is that the participating lines include some of the most popular cruise brands and itineraries.
Interline eligibility extends beyond traditional airline staff to include air traffic controllers, aviation maintenance professionals, ground handling employees, and other aviation industry workers — though eligibility varies by cruise line. If you work in any aviation-adjacent role, it's worth a conversation. I'll verify what's available, with no obligation.

An interline cruise rate is a discounted fare negotiated between cruise lines and airlines or logistics companies for their employees and retirees. These rates — typically 20–50% below published fares — are not available to the general public and require eligibility verification.

Yes — FedEx and UPS employees qualify for interline cruise rates on many major cruise lines. Eligibility and available rates vary by cruise line and sailing.
Verification methods vary by cruise line and employer. Most commonly, you'll need a current employee ID, a recent pay stub, a retirement letter, or an official letter from your HR department. Scott handles the verification logistics so you don't have to navigate each cruise line's process.
Some sailings — particularly peak holiday weeks and very popular itineraries — have limited or no interline availability. Scott monitors interline release schedules across multiple cruise lines and can advise on the best windows to book.
Most cruise lines allow eligible employees and retirees to bring family members in the same stateroom under the interline rate, with rules varying by line. Some lines permit non-employee travelers in adjacent staterooms at interline pricing as well.
Interline rates are often released 60–90 days before sailing, but inventory moves fast. Flag your interest early — Scott can put you on alert for sailings you're targeting and book the moment interline space opens.
