The slow economy is continuing to take its toll on the Alaska cruise lines, but the good news is that they are really pulling out the stops to offer some incredible Alaska cruise deals. I just stumbled across a particularly good Alaska cruise package offered by Holland America Line. How does a seven-night trip between Vancouver and Seward for $349 strike you? If you can travel in May, you should jump on this offer immediately as I can’t imagine this special discount will last very long. Even if you can only travel in June, the price only goes up to $399 per person.
What’s the reason behind these fares, some of the lowest that have been seen in over 30 years? Low bookings, plain and simple. Even though other cruise markets such as the Caribbean are down just slightly, the Alaska cruise market has been down about 40 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Just like an airplane, these cruise ships are committed to their departures and will do almost anything within reason to avoid leaving port with empty cabins. Their misfortune is great news for anyone in the market for an Alaska cruise deal.
As always, if you run across any other Alaska cruise deals, please be sure to forward them to me!
