It’s no secret that many people are cutting back on vacations right now but cruising remains a good value for travelers who still want (and need) to get away. Now that gas prices have fallen, cruisers can get less expensive airfare and cruise lines including Regent Seven Seas, Oceania, NCL, Carnival, Royal Caribbean and more have recently discontinued their fuel surcharges (and if you have already booked and paid a fuel surcharge you may be able to get it refunded).

More good news - European cruises are a good value again now that the dollar is stronger and if you still like to take a holiday cruise - don't give up.  There are still some excellent savings to be had the week between Christmas and New Years - shop around and be prepared to book! Read on and you’ll find more reasons to book your next cruise - some incredibly good deals - but act fast because some of these offers expire soon. 

Yachts of Seabourn – This luxury cruise line has cut prices on Northern Europe and Mediterranean cruises by as much as 50% on spring sailings. These offers expire on Monday, December 15th so act quickly!
