How is the MSC Cruise Line Price Index calculated?+

Gangwaze collects fares for every future MSC Cruise Line sailing. For each sailing we take its latest price from the last 30 days, divide by the number of nights, and average across sailings for each cabin type. Every sailing counts once, and fares outside $30 to $25,000 a night are left out as errors. The all-lines figures are the same calculation across every major line we track.

// Methodology

Every MSC Cruise Line sailing departing after today with a live published fare. Fares are divided by nights to give a per-night, per-person figure. The all-lines figures beside it use every major line Gangwaze tracks.

The index is the average of each sailing's latest fare in the selected cabin category. Every sailing counts once. Fares outside $30 to $25,000 a night are left out as errors.

History points are the same calculation as of each month's end. Prices are in USD and are not adjusted for inflation.
