Hello Everyone, and Happy Friday!

We hope you’re all enjoying that extra hour of daylight now that Daylight Savings Time has kicked in, we know we are! That fact, and the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations that will occur tomorrow, signal the start of spring and also that school will soon be out!

So, it’s time to plan the family vacation for summer!

Why not take the whole family to Alaska???

We’ve got great deals on the Norwegian Pearl, one of Norwegian Cruise Line’s great “Freestyle” ships!

If you’re on a budget, but still want to treat the kids to something special this summer, consider this great itinerary starting on June 10th in Seattle, Washington:

There are so many great things to see and do on this itinerary, and the ship also provides lots of entertainment and activities for all ages.

Norwegian typically offers great discounted fares for 3rd and 4th passengers sharing a room with two full-fare guests and if you have a family, this is a great way to go!

Consider these great fares:

A family of four sharing an interior stateroom will pay $3400.28, or an average fare of only $850.07 per person! And that includes port fees and tax for all four passengers!
Book a room with an ocean view for only $3900.28, or upgrade to a balcony for four for only $5140.28. And, if you’d like to have a bit more room, you can book a mini-suite for just $5640.98 for the entire family of four!

And remember, that’s not just a room for 7 nights…it’s a room, meals, transportation, entertainment, and resort style amenities, all included in your fare!

That’s not all! If you book the Pearl sailing on June 10th, each stateroom booked will receive a $50 shipboard credit!

There’s no better time to book your summer vacation! Call us now at 1-800-267-7613. If Alaska isn’t where your family wants to go, just tell us what your dream vacation looks like, and we’ll help you tailor a trip that just fits!

What are you waiting for? We’re here to help, and we look forward to your call!

Mike and Darlene’s Weekly DEAL! 3/9/12

Hello Everyone, and Happy Friday!

We’ve been getting a lot of calls from those of you who have yet to visit our 49th State, and also from folks who’ve been there and can’t wait to go back. We took a 12-night Alaska cruise/tour with some friends several years ago, and that trip still ranks among our top 5 (and we’ve put several trips on our log since then!)

You can’t get there from here…

Anyway, that’s what we usually say when someone asks for an Alaska cruise starting from California. But, one of the great things about the cruise business is that, from time to time, the cruise lines have to move ships around to accommodate seasonal demand. This week’s DEAL highlights just one of those times.

It’s the Princess Cruise Line’s Sea Princess, sailing a unique 10-night cruise, round-trip from San Francisco on May 13, 2012. And the really cool thing about this cruise itinerary? If the May 13 date won’t work for you, you have practically the whole summer season to choose from! The Sea Princess will be sailing this 10-night round-trip from May until the end of August, 2012!

The Sea Princess will have just made a crossing from Sydney, Australia, where she’s spent our winter season in the South Pacific. She’s one of Princess Cruise Line’s “small ships”, at just under 2000 passengers, a great size for an Alaska Inside Passage cruise.

(If you’d like more information on Princess Cruise LIne’s beautiful South Pacific itineraries, call us at 1-800-267-7613!)

As is the case with most Alaska itineraries, the earlier or later in the year you go, the lower the fares. For May 13 interiors start at $1099 per person.

Ocean Views start at $1499 per person (non-refundable deposit)

Balconies start at $1999 per person (non-refundable deposit)

The non-refundable fares are Princess “Flash Fares” and are time-sensitive, so if you’re interested in the May 13 sail date, don’t wait, call us now at 1-800-267-7613! And since the Flash Fare requires a non-refundable deposit, we highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance at time of deposit.

This is a great itinerary! You get the best of Alaska, including a visit to Glacier Bay, a stop in Victoria, BC, AND one of the best embarkation ports in America, San Francisco! Call us now at 1-800-267-7613, or simply reply to this email, and we’ll help you plan your very own unique Alaska vacation.

In the meantime, if you’d like to receive the DEAL in your inbox on Fridays, send us an email at djordan@cruiseone.com. And consider planning a group, and you could cruise for a very reduced price! And if you have a favorite non-profit, we can put together a fund-raising cruise for you…have a great time cruising with like-minded people, and raise money for charity at the same time!

Have a great weekend!
