# Trip.com Cruises Search API Documentation

<p><strong>Trip.com Cruises Search API Documentation</strong> Search cruise sailings by destination keyword, departure month or date window and sort. Each sailing has the id, name, days and nights, departure and arrival port, region, ship and cruise line, the lowest price per person, up to 59 departure dates with prices, images and tags. Pass id and departure_date unchanged to cruise detail. Page N is really page N, 10 per page. Sailings outside the requested dates are never returned. The price is the lowest fare per person, not a quote. total_estimate is capped by Trip.com. No line, port or duration filter exists: those parameters return 422. Cost: 1 credit. An empty page costs nothing.</p>
