Marty Trencher of Cruise
Traveler Magazine says the
industry is trying to fill as
many cabins as possible for May
and September of 2009 now. As
early indications show a
possible slow down in cruise
travel, cruise lines are getting
very aggressive in the Alaska
market to avoid a weak summer.
He says the cruise lines don't
want to take a major hit next
summer so they're offering
lower-than-normal prices to
create excitement about the
destination by offering great
early booking incentives for
next year.
"All the cruiselines
are offering specials to try and
get bookings, as their advanced
bookings may not be what they
want them to be."
He says the Alaska cruisetour
market remains pricey, but good
deals can be found if you know
where to look. Alaska Cruise
tours range from 10-17 nights
and include your 7-night Alaska
cruise. Most cruisetours feature
an inclusive tour into Denali
National Park, a 6.3 million
acre park, home to Mt.
McKinley and one of the largest
wildlife habitats in the world.
Alaska Cruise Tours accommodate
every lifestyle, from mild to
wild.
One hotspot to find good
deals is
www.alaskacruisetoursonline.com
"Alaska cruise tours
online is offering a 7 night
Alaska cruise, for as low as
$569 per person." He says there
is a catch. "You will have to
pay a fuel surcharge of $126.00,
plus government taxes but that's
still a good deal."
Trencher says don't expect
low prices for very long though,
once the new year around you may
have to spend a few hundred's
dollars more than what you would
pay right now.
