Cruises aren't just for luxury travelers anymore. They're one of the smartest ways to travel on a budget while seeing the world. A daily cruise fare often covers lodging, meals, and country-to-country transport for less than a single hotel night. For variety without the hassle of flights, trains, and hotels, cruising is hard to beat.
Here are five incredible cruises where you can explore multiple countries for less than $100 a day.
