# TripAdvisor Cruises API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/tripadvisor/cruises)

> Searches TripAdvisor cruise sailings for a destination, with filters for departure month, cabin type, and trip length. Returns a unified PlaceList: each sailing carries the ship name, its rating and review count, the departure port, and the `url_path` you pass to /v1/tripadvisor/cruise or /v1/tripadvisor/cruise/reviews.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/tripadvisor/cruises` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
