Cruises and Event Trips
Several of the cities with the most events on StubOrder are also cruise ports. If you are sailing from one of them, a game, a concert or a show the night before turns the trip to the port into part of the holiday. Cruises are booked on Expedia; the event tickets and the hotel for the night before can be booked here.
How we earn: StubOrder may earn a commission when you book through the Expedia links on this page. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes which events, venues or places we show you.

Frequently asked questions
Can I book a cruise on StubOrder?
No. Cruises are booked on Expedia through the links on this page. StubOrder sells the event tickets and books hotels for the night before you sail.
Should I arrive the day before a cruise?
Most travellers do. Ships leave on time whether or not every passenger has arrived, so a night in the port city takes the risk out of a delayed flight, and it leaves an evening free for a game or a show.
