LouisCruiseLines.org is an independent travel resource. To keep this site free and running, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This page explains what that means for you as a reader.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you. In fact, in many cases you’ll still receive the same price, deal, or discount you would have found elsewhere.
Which Programs Do We Participate In?
We work with (or intend to work with) affiliate networks and travel programs including, but not limited to:
- Cruise booking platforms and travel agencies
- Hotel and accommodation booking sites
- Travel insurance providers
- Shore excursion and tour operators
- Travel gear and accessories retailers
Specific partner programs will be updated here as they are added.
Our Editorial Commitment
Affiliate relationships never influence our content. We only recommend products, services, and cruise experiences that we genuinely believe will be useful to our readers. Our reviews, comparisons, and recommendations are based on honest research and, where possible, personal experience.
We will never recommend something solely because it pays a higher commission.
Advertiser Disclosure
In addition to affiliate links, this site may display third-party advertisements. These are clearly separate from our editorial content and do not influence our recommendations.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 CFR Part 255) and applicable international regulations including EU consumer protection laws, we are required to disclose any material connection between ourselves and the products or services we recommend. This page, along with in-content disclosures where applicable, fulfils that requirement.
GDPR & Privacy
Affiliate links may use cookies to track referrals. For more information on how data is collected and used, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
