About this site
Compiled and maintained by Andrew Budai, webmaster. Schedule last updated .
PhiladelphiaCruiseSchedule is an independent schedule of cruises leaving the Port of Philadelphia. It lists 82 sailings on 3 ships from 1 cruise lines, from November 2026 to October 2028.
We don't sell cruises. There is no booking engine, account or newsletter here. When you find a sailing you like, we send you to Cruisebound, which sells that exact sailing, or to the cruise line, to check the price and book.
Who runs this site
Andrew Budai compiles and maintains PhiladelphiaCruiseSchedule. He is an experienced webmaster with more than 10 years in SEO and digital advertising, and he has been building his own websites for the past year. He wants this site to be genuinely helpful and also profitable. He is not a travel agent, and the schedule comes from the sources listed below, not from personal experience.
How the schedule is put together
Each sailing is built from two sources, each used for what it does best:
- Cruisebound, a cruise retailer, publishes every sailing it sells from Philadelphia, with today's fare. Each sailing's own page gives the day-by-day itinerary, and that is where our ports of call come from.
- CruiseTimetables is the independent check. It lists which ships leave Philadelphia on which day, years ahead, and we check every sailing against it. We are not connected to it.
- If we can't confirm the ports of call, the sailing is left out. We would rather show fewer cruises than show one with gaps. If only one of the two sources lists a sailing, it stays on the site and is marked, so you can check it with the line.
PhilaPort, which runs the port, publishes embarkation, parking and pickup details for its cruise terminal, but no sailing calendar, so there is no official schedule to check against. PhilaPort lists one cruise terminal, the PhilaPort Cruise Terminal beside the airport, and our guide to the terminal covers getting there. We don't print a terminal on each sailing, because no source we can read ties a sailing to one. Your cruise documents are the final word.
Ships that only call in Philadelphia partway through a voyage are not departures, and lines Cruisebound doesn't sell from here have no confirmed ports for us to publish.
How sure we are
As of 2026-11-03:
| Status | Sailings | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmed | 82 | Cruisebound sells it, and CruiseTimetables lists the same ship leaving Philadelphia that day. |
| Single source | 0 | Cruisebound sells it, but CruiseTimetables doesn't list it yet. Marked in the tables. Check these with the line. |
We record which ports a sailing visits. The order and the times in port can change, so check the line's day-by-day itinerary if that matters to you.
About the fares
A fare here is a starting price per person, for the cheapest cabin listed, with taxes and port fees included. 82 of the 82 sailings have one. Each fare shows the date we checked it.
Cruisebound publishes a daily catalog and a page for each sailing, and neither is always right on its own, so we compare them. We use the sailing's page when it shows the cheapest cabin. Otherwise the page is usually missing cabins, so we use the catalog. In a sailing's last three weeks cabins really do sell out, so if the two disagree there we show no fare and ask you to check the price. The price you see at Cruisebound can still be different, especially close to sailing.
These are not live quotes. Cruise prices move every day, so treat a fare as a way to compare one sailing with another, then get the real price from the line. Where we have no fare, the table says "check prices" instead of guessing.
Keeping it current
Fares are re-checked on a schedule and the site is rebuilt afterwards. Sailings drop off automatically once they have left. The date of the last update is at the top of every listing and in the footer.
Download the schedule
The whole schedule is available as a file, one row per sailing, rebuilt every morning with the site: CSV for a spreadsheet, or JSON. Each row gives the departure and return dates, nights, ship, line, itinerary, region, ports of call, the starting fare and the date it was read, whether our second source lists it, and the page that covers it. You are welcome to use and quote it, with a link back to this site. You can also put a live list of sailings on your own site with our schedule widget.
Sources
- Cruisebound: which sailings are on sale, their ports of call and fares.
- CruiseTimetables, cruises from Philadelphia: an independent check of which ship leaves on which day.
The planning guides list their own sources, mostly PhilaPort, Norwegian Cruise Line, Philadelphia International Airport and the operators each guide covers.
Independence
This site is not affiliated with PhilaPort, the PhilaPort Cruise Terminal, Cruisebound, CruiseTimetables or any cruise line. Most fare buttons go to Cruisebound, a cruise booking site, and the hotel buttons go to Booking.com. We may earn a commission if you book through them. The affiliate disclosure explains how that works. The commission does not change which sailings we list or the order they appear in.
When something is wrong
Cruise lines change schedules often, and a list like this can fall behind between updates. The cruise line is always the final word on dates, ports and prices.
