Output

Each record is a single sailing with:

• Cruise and itinerary identifiers (cruiseId, itineraryId)
• Ship name, departure and arrival ports, sailing dates, duration (nights)
• Lowest available per-person price with currency (price.amount, price.currency)
• Ports of call with day indicators (portsList[].portName, portsList[].dayIndicator)
• Dynamic per-cabin price fields: price_{CURRENCY}_{CABIN} (e.g. price_EUR_INSIDE, price_EUR_BALCONY)
• Additional fare tiers per cabin captured with a disambiguated suffix
• Service charges and port charges (where available)
• source_url — direct link to the sailing page for deep-linking / affiliate tracking (present only on detail-enriched runs, i.e. when enrichDetails is on)
• platform and region — for multi-market deduplication

Sample Output

The source_url field below appears only on detail-enriched runs (enrichDetails: true).

  "source_url": "https://www.ncl.com/it/it/..."
}

Runtime & Cost

• Typical run: a few minutes for the default 100 rows on a single market
• Larger sweeps: scale maxRows (up to 5000) and concurrency for a fuller catalog
• Detail enrichment: enabling enrichDetails adds one request per unique itinerary — richer ports/imagery, but slower
• Proxy: required on all markets (Apify RESIDENTIAL by default, or a geo-matched custom proxy)

Usage

{
  "region": "it_IT",
  "maxRows": 500,
  "destinations": ["MEDITERRANEAN", "CARIBBEAN"],
  "useApifyProxy": true
}

Notes

• NCL prices are per-person
• Each run pins the proxy country to the selected region and drops any sailing whose returned currency does not match the market
• Multiple fare tiers for the same cabin (e.g. standard vs. promotional) are kept side-by-side rather than overwritten
• For affiliate tracking, append your affiliate parameters to source_url on the consuming side
