# track.cruises — Cruise Pricing API

> B2B REST API providing normalized cruise pricing data across 9 cruise lines,
> with daily price history. For travel OTAs, affiliate sites, agencies, and
> financial analysts tracking cruise operators (CCL, RCL, NCLH).

## What it is

A single REST API that unifies pricing data from Princess Cruises, Norwegian
Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Costa Cruises, Carnival Cruise
Line, Holland America Line, MSC Cruises, and Disney Cruise Line into one JSON
schema. Every cruise has the same shape regardless of source line — no per-line
integration work for the customer.

| Basic | $0 | 100 | 7-day-stale data, evaluation only |
| Pro | $49/mo | 10,000 (then $0.002/req) | Real-time, full price history, webhooks |
