While airfares are going up, it seems that cruise prices are falling. Every day we receive a new email touting cruise deals, some as low as $599 for a 7-night vacation! While the prices are certainly attractive, you must pay attention to the fine print. Does the advertised price include taxes and fees? This can add up to a few hundred dollars per person on top of that low cruise fare.

We always quote our fares including taxes and fees, so you know exactly what you are paying for. One of our preferred cruise lines, Silversea, is offering a special 5-night sailing in the Mediterranean this Fall. If you're short on vacation time, this cruise from Barcelona to Rome would make a perfect getaway. With all-inclusive pricing from $1599 per person, you can museum-hop in Barcelona one day and bask on beaches in St. Tropez the next! Departure date is October 5, 2012. Pricing is capacity controlled and subject to change, so early booking is always recommended.

There are also some excellent values on summer sailings with Seabourn cruises. I recently returned from a one week cruise on the Seabourn Sojourn, visiting the ports of Barcelona, Mallorca, Monte Carlo, and Portofino. This all-inclusive luxury cruise line believes that "clairvoyance is a job requirement". I found this to be true of my experience onboard. The staff works hard to make sure that the guests are happy and well taken care of. The all-inclusive aspect is wonderful - gratuities, specialty restaurants, wine and liquor are all included in your cruise fare. It's nice not having to pay more for all of these little extras. My companion's cappuccino consumption alone could have added up to $100 on a mass-market cruise line!

Crystal Cruise Sale - Book Now!

Crystal Cruises offers a choice of two luxury ships, the Crystal Symphony and the Crystal Serenity. They hold up to 900 passengers each and both ships have beautifully redesigned staterooms and suites. Crystal offers the perfect combination of luxury and value with their new all inclusive concept. For sailings after March 2012, your cruise fare will now include gratuities, complimentary fine wines and premium spirits throughout the voyage.   Enjoy spectacular dining experiences at the specialty restaurants Prego and Silk Road. They feature the cuisines of renowned chefs Piero Selvaggio and Nobu Matsuhisa (and you can get a reservation easier here than on Nobu's land restaurants!)

Another new addition this year are complimentary "voluntourism" excursions in certain ports of call.

Wherever you'd like to be, Crystal can take you there: from Montreal to Moorea to Mykonos, their itineraries span the globe.

Book any European sailing for 2012 from now through October 21, and receive an additional $200 per person shore excursion credit! When booking with us, you will also sail as a member of Virtuoso Voyager Club, with additional complimentary amenities (depending on itinerary), a private cocktail reception and an onboard host.
