We get it, holidays cost a lot of money, especially when kids are involved. The cost of travel, accommodation, and experiences when you’re there can soon add up, sometimes costing a small fortune.
Well, it might do if you didn’t book through Cruise Nation and use our top tips for securing the best Orlando holiday on a budget.
We’ve been cruising around Florida for years, so we know a thing or two about the area, and with just a few small tips, you can have the time of your life for a fraction of the price you might expect to pay.
Let’s take a look at how you can secure a cheap Orlando holiday and create magic memories.
Why Orlando is worth it (Even on a budget)
Orlando is an incredible area to go on holiday. There are countless golden beaches, weather that is absolutely world-class and who could forget the theme parks?
All of these things make it a great location to visit. Regardless of your budget, you can have a great time and enjoy all that Orlando has to offer with just a few top tips from our team of holiday experts at Cruise Nation.
Orlando is a place offering things that no other destination in the world can offer, which is why it’s more than worth travelling to, even if you’re on a budget.
Cheap Orlando holidays: How to do it
One of the smartest ways to save some money during your trip to Orlando is to use it as a starting point for a cruise to further afield.
Booking a Smart Package with Cruise Nation means you get flights, a free Orlando hotel stay and a cruise departing from Port Canaveral to the likes of the Caribbean all in one. Essentially, you’re getting two holidays for the price of one.
Plus, the price of these holidays can be the same as just booking a land holiday to Orlando. With the cruise, you’re getting to see more parts of that side of the world, too.
When you book through Cruise Nation, you can also access discounted park tickets as part of our Universal Orlando Cruise Holidays Deals, helping you experience the thrills of Universal Orlando without stretching your budget too far.
Maximising value with a Smart Package
If you want even more value from a cruise holiday to Orlando, you can book via a Cruise Nation Smart Package.
Our Orlando Smart Packages take care of absolutely everything for you, including your cruise fare, comfortable accommodation and discounted Universal Orlando tickets.
At Cruise Nation, we’re all about delivering savings and convenience, so you can focus on having fun rather than spending your holiday stressing about the details. Let us take care of the planning—you just concentrate on having the time of your lives.
How to find the best Orlando package deals
There are two main ways to secure the best price for an Orlando holiday. The first method is to book nice and early. Travel companies reward the early bookers with the best prices, and it gives you something to look forward to, budget for, and properly prepare for.
On the other hand, if you’re a bit of a risk taker, you can secure your holiday last minute. You’ll usually secure a nice discount on a holiday booked last minute because a discounted trip is better than empty rooms for cruise lines.
Using either of those methods, and combining it with an off-peak travel time, you’ll be sure to bag a bargain, giving you more money to spend on enjoying the beaches, restaurants, and theme parks in Orlando.
Of course, Cruise Nation’s Smart Package deals are ideal for helping you get the most bang for your buck on cruise docking in Orlando.
Insider tips for a magical yet affordable trip
The bulk of your savings will probably come from saving on travel and accommodation, but that doesn’t mean you can’t also cut costs by adjusting your trip slightly.
Use hotel shuttle services
Many Orlando hotels offer round-trip transfers directly to all the Orlando parks, skipping the car rental fees. Check whether your cruise and stay hotel offers this to help cut costs on your trip.
Free & low-cost Orlando fun
You can explore Disney Springs or Universal CityWalk completely free. These areas feature shops, restaurants, and entertainment, and they’re open late, so you can spend all day there.
Pack smart for kids
Bring refillable water bottles, snacks for the ship and parks, and a lightweight stroller to reduce food and rental expenses.
Use money‑saving apps & coupons
Download apps like ShopDisney to access deals and local coupon sheets you get onboard the cruise.
A cruise around Orlando gives you one-stop convenience, package savings, and family memories to cherish. Ready to get the most from your Orlando adventure? Check out our range of Orlando Cruise and Stay Holidays, and let those magical memories begin, on a budget that works for you.
