Press & research

StealTrips is a free site that publishes only travel deals that cost far less than normal: priced for the whole party, compared with what similar trips cost, with the catch shown up front. No accounts, no paid placements. Software watches hotel, cruise, owner-rental, relocation and airfare prices around the clock, and almost everything it finds is turned away.

Writing about travel prices or deals? Every number below comes from our own price checks. Quote it with a link to the source page, or email hello@stealtrips.com for the data, a custom cut, or a comment.

Findings you can quote

  • Hotel "% off" labels: when Google Hotels showed a 4–5 star hotel as 30% or more "less than usual," the typical hotel was only 16% cheaper than similar hotels for the same nights, and about 1 in 3 cost the same or more. The size of the label barely predicted the real saving (correlation 0.04). 18,903 prices, 20 destinations.
  • Cruise vs all-inclusive: we priced 16 real trips both ways (four home airports, couples and families of four, flights and every extra included). At the cruise deal fares on sale when we checked (October 19, 2026), the cruise was cheaper in 16 of 16, and families saved about $2,686. With a drinks package, the cruise stayed cheaper for couples in 0 of 8. Full comparison.
  • Real steals are rare: in the last 30 days we screened 14,610 travel offers and published 189 as steals, about 1 in 77. How we decide.
  • Last-minute cruise going rates: what a mainstream last-minute sailing costs per person per night this week, by region, updated daily. Last-minute cruise deals.
  • Hotel deal checks: every hotel price flagged in the last week, with Google's label, the similar-hotels median, the best major seller and the hotel's own site. Hotel deals.
