Another option is to use a specialist online comparison site like CruiseCompare.com. You can fill in your details and view the prices from the companies you choose. Once you find one that suits your needs, you can book it directly.
Other options are available if you don't mind doing a little research. An example is to search for an online company that offers a package deal which allows you to combine accommodation and flights. These packages are offered by many websites.
You can also ask your friends and family about their experiences with different lines of cruise ships. They might be able to give you advice about how well-suited a particular cruise is for you.
