A cruise ship guru has revealed his top six tips for bagging a bargain on your next sea voyage, amidst soaring prices. Gary Bembridge, who runs the popular YouTube channel Tips for Travellers, has shared some insider knowledge on how to outsmart the system despite 'scarily fast' rising cruise costs and bag the best deals.

His first piece of advice is to book as soon as new itineraries are launched by cruise lines. According to travel expert Gary, this guarantees you nab the best price before fares increase due to dynamic pricing strategies.Secondly, he suggests travellers make the most of various promotions.

He said: "While this might sound obvious, there's some important things I've discovered you must focus on with promotions. First, I ensure I am ready to take advantage of promotions as I keep a list of all the places, cruise lines and ships I'm interested in.

But I hold off booking until any of those go on offer."Another tip from Gary is to book your next cruise while you're still on board your current one.
