Combining Timeshare Weeks With Cruise Vacations
Updated: 13 hours ago
Why choose between a resort week and a cruise when you can have both? Timeshare owners can stay at a resort near a cruise port before or after sailing, or use their exchange company to put their week toward a cruise. Here's how owners blend land and sea.

Two Ways to Combine a Timeshare and a Cruise
Most owners use one of these simple approaches.
Pre- or post-cruise stay: book your week at a resort near the port, like Orlando or Daytona Beach for Port Canaveral
Exchange toward a cruise: many exchange companies let members use their week or points toward cruise bookings

Port-City Resorts Owners Love
These destinations make it easy to add a few days at sea.
Florida
Port Canaveral, Miami and Fort Lauderdale are close to resorts across the state. Browse Florida timeshares.
Cancun and Mexico
Many Caribbean cruises stop near Cancun, where resorts like Villa del Palmar Cancun offer beachfront suites. See Mexico timeshares.
Hawaii
Island cruises pair perfectly with a week at resorts like Hilton Kaanapali Beach Club. See Hawaii timeshares.
TN Tip
Book your resort week first, then pick a cruise that leaves near the end of your stay. You'll start the cruise rested and skip a night in a port hotel.

Timeshare Nation connects people with owners who want to pass their timeshare on. Why is it free? Owners who no longer use their timeshare pass it on to someone who will. You take over for $0, with no closing costs or transfer fees, and a title and transfer company handles the paperwork in about 60 to 90 days. Depending on timing, some listings even include a free week for the new owner, with the maintenance fee already paid.
