The Alaska cruise deals keep coming! Just announced are two new promotions that should help you stretch your vacation dollars this season.
Carnival Cruise Lines, one of the major lines cruising Alaska, is offering 30% discounts on select departures. These deals aren’t as compelling as some others I’ve seen lately, but if you have your heart set on the fun ship or are a younger traveler or traveling with kids, then you’ll want to check them out. The catch is you have to book fairly far in advance–three to five months depending on the length of your trip.
Going a bit upmarket, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines is still offering some decent discounts to sell its Alaskan cruises. Announced recently are $200 in onboard credits for all of their Alaska cruise tours. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that onboard credits are a favorite strategy of the luxury lines. By not discounting their prices, they can still maintain their premium brand, but still offer an incentive to get you off the fence and onto their ships.
I’ll be honest, the deals the past few days haven’t blown my socks off. Knowing how the cruise market is right now, I’d be willing to bet that we’re going to see some additional promotions announced in the near future. Stay tuned, and keep coming back as I continue to search out the best deals and bargains in the Alaska cruise market!
