Winter is Bargain Time for Cruises

If you are a first-time cruise shopper, consider the benefits of finding inexpensive cruises during the winter months. Many cruise lines have packages available for you to purchase over the winter holiday season. These deals are specifically designed for the traveler who wants to leave the cold and vacation in the warmer waters.

If this is your first time booking a winter cruise, some destinations like the Bahamas and the Caribbean are perfect getaway locations. Many vacationers want to leave the ice and snow behind and enjoy the tropical waters. There are low prices available from most cruise lines, but some have more offers than others do.

Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) is offering a new type of cruising, called “Freestyle cruising”. Freestyle cruising gives passengers the flexibility to select what time and what theme they want for dinner, whether they want to dress up or select casual venues, and when they want to have free time to play. Now, travelers are able to do more of the activities they like, and less of the activities they do not like.

It is important to plan early to find the best prices and options. In January, the Caribbean is warm and comfortable, while most locations in the northern hemisphere are in the depths of winter. It is possible to find five night cruises for $300 or less per passenger and nine-day trips starting at under $700. With these prices, it is difficult to resist the temptation of leaving the cold behind and enjoying a relaxing cruise. Even if you have a last-minute vacation opportunity this winter, do not forget to check for price breaks. Some cruise lines have last minute deals that require you leave very quickly. If your travel schedule is flexible enough, these opportunities may be perfect for you.
