Warm up with a winter cruise: 2 cheap cruise deals
January is the perfect month to go on a cruise — and save big money on it, too.
By Aimee Heckel
The opposite of winter is not summer. It’s cruise ship vacation.
Instead of digging out your car from under a snow drift and bundling up in scarves and gloves, imagine lying on the deck of a cruise ship under the sparkling sun. Listening to live music with a drink in hand. Sailing from beach to beach, surrounded by the ocean.
Winter is the best time for a cruise.
Here are two of our favorite cruise deals to get you through the chilly month of January.
Orbitz’s 2014 Kick-Off Cruise Sale.
This is one of the best cruise promotions we’ve seen in a long time. Get discounted rates, free upgrades, free spending onboard and even a $500 hotel promotion. The deals include everything, from food to entertainment to activities to lodging.
Best of all, Orbitz guarantees the best prices.
For example, book a trip on the Royal Caribbean starting at just $65 per night. Plus get $400 of onboard spending, a free specialty dinner for two, 20 percent off for military personnel and reduced rates, airfare and free upgrades for some vacations.
Expedia.com’s Norwegian Cruise Line deal for just $50 per night.
You can’t even stay at a dive motel for this rate — and here, you get 12 nights from New York, leaving on Jan. 19, hitting all of the best ports, from St. Thomas to Saint Lucia. Enjoy live entertainment, various dining options, bars, casinos, water slides, youth programs, a fitness center, shops and more. Plus get a $100 onboard credit, a free coupon book and free upgrades.
Expedia’s selection of discounted cruises is not limited to this deal. You can find a handful of other options for less than $60 per night, and a long list of cruises under $75 per night.
Save money when you book through Expedia.com using these coupons, paired with a generous 7.5 percent Cash Back from ShopAtHome.com. (That adds up when you’re booking a vacation.)
