Our verdict
Liveaboards.com Partnership is a cruise-only booking site: cruise is the whole list, and No booking fee added on a booking. It suits families with a liveaboard in mind who want support on email and phone, and it rules out anyone who wants flights, hotels or transfers booked in the same place.

Pros and cons
Pros
- No booking fee added, so the quoted cabin price is not topped up by a separate booking charge.
- A single product focus, with cruise as the only category on offer.
- Support on email and phone, so a family can ask about a cabin before it pays.
- Cancellation is Operator-set; free where offered, so the term sits with the sailing rather than hidden.
Cons
- cruise is the whole range, so flights, hotels and transfers have to be booked elsewhere.
- Support runs on email and phone only, which leaves fewer routes to reach a person.
- Cancellation is Operator-set; free where offered, so a free option depends on the operator and cannot be assumed.

Who it suits
- Families with a liveaboard in mind who want a narrow, cruise-only search.
- Travellers who would rather ask a question by phone or email, since support runs on email and phone.
- Anyone happy to let the operator set the cancellation terms, which are Operator-set; free where offered.
Who should look elsewhere
- Not FlixBus, which sells bus for a trip planned around a coach rather than a ship.
- Not Hertz Bahamas WiFi, which covers car rental and transfers for an island arrival.
- Not Latam Travellers, which puts a wider fee statement on the table with 0 hidden fees, no contracts.
The company behind it
The booking service runs as Liveaboards.com Limited, based in Hong Kong. Support comes through email and phone, so a question about a cabin, a deck plan or a booking reference can go by email or by phone. The company named in the legal details is the one behind the partnership, and it is the same name a family would look for in the terms of a booking.
How Liveaboards.com partnership compares
Frequently asked questions
What does this site book?+
The product list holds a single category, cruise. That narrow focus suits a family that has already settled on a liveaboard, since the deals on show are operator sailings rather than a mixed spread of transport. You compare them without sorting through categories you were never going to book.
Is there a booking fee on top of the cruise fare?+
No booking fee added. The cabin price an operator quotes is what you compare here, with no separate booking charge stacked on it at checkout. The fare itself still moves with the sailing, the cabin and the operator, so compare like for like.
What are the cancellation terms?+
Cancellation is Operator-set; free where offered, so the term comes from the operator whose sailing you picked. A free option shows only where that operator offers one, which makes it worth reading the policy before a deposit goes out.
How do I reach the booking team?+
Support runs on email and phone. A question about a cabin, a deck plan or a booking reference can be sent by email or raised by phone, which matters when a sailing is close and details need checking quickly.
Who is behind the partnership?+
The service runs as Liveaboards.com Limited, based in Hong Kong. Knowing the company behind a cruise deal matters to a family booking a costly trip, because the terms, the support and the booking record all sit with that named entity.
How does it compare with a bus booking site?+
FlixBus covers bus, so it suits a road trip where a specific coach journey is the plan. This site suits a trip where the ship, its cabins and its ports are the holiday, and the booking you make is a sailing rather than a seat.
Is the fee position different elsewhere?+
Latam Travellers states 0 hidden fees, no contracts, a wider fee claim than the one made here. The promise on this site is No booking fee added for cruise bookings, so weigh the fee lines each site actually names rather than the headline wording.
