LAST MINUTE CRUISE DEALS

- Dave Frinton co-founder / President CruisePlus www.cruiseplus.ca

S ometimes we get some very sweet deals where we’re not allowed to advertise our prices. On April 1st there’s an 18 day cruise from Valparaiso, Chile to Fort Lauderdale (South America / Panama Canal) aboard the ms Zaandam and on April 27, the ms Volendam does a Kobe to Vancouver 17 night crossing. If either of these two sailings can work for you, we have the best value in high category ocean-view categories. I’d recommend that you consider a few days of exploring the embarkatio­n city before you board your lovely Holland America ship. We can help you arrange your air, transfers and hotel if you wish.

There is a bit of space still available on the 18 night ms Zaandam (April 29) and the 19 night ms Noordam (April 20) full Panama Canal sailings from Fort Lauderdale to Vancouver. Best deals are for inside and outside staterooms.

I also have 4 sailings for Alaska – including an extraordin­ary 14 night (roundtrip Seattle) on June 1st or 29th. You see much more on these sailings, including Homer, Kodiak & Sitka. If you’re looking for an easy 7 day itinerary, we have a terrific deal on the ms Oosterdam doing the popular roundtrip Vancouver itinerary on September 13th or 20th. There’s less supply this year and more demand for cruises and land & cruise combos, so finding the bargains is a harder thing to do but our CruisePlus Rewards program will save you some money on any date.

We have dozens of popular 2015 and 2016 sailings on our web site packaged with air and hotel. This week I had to be a bit more stealthy with pricing, but I promise you that if you do call us and compare, you will be pleasantly surprised about the value we are offering on the above and any Holland America cruise. Please call CruisePlus toll free at 1-800-854-9664 . We’ve got a great team of ethical, non-commission­ed travel consultant­s.
