During the most recent Costco earnings call, Gary Millerchip, the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, revealed that the most expensive cruise package the warehouse club sold over the past year cost $293,000 — here’s what’s included in that price.

Costco’s Most Expensive Cruise of 2024

It’s long been reported that many wealthy people enjoy shopping at Costco, and this cruise booking is clearly evidence of that. The $293,000 price tag was for a 150-day around-the-world cruise starting from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, that made stops in places like the Galapagos Islands and Easter Island. The cost was for two people to stay in the luxurious Owner’s Suite cabin.

Costco often throws in extra incentives when you book through the company, and even at this price point, this booking was no exception. Millerchip said that the price included a shipboard credit of $13,000 and a Costco shop card worth $25,000.
