are discovering the all-inclusive pleasures of a cruise
tour

second honeymooners and groups of friends are sailing
away on the cruise and land vacations of their lives. When you add it
all up, it's easy to see why.

some of the most exciting and exotic places in the
world. All of your meals onboard ship as well as all
your onboard daytime activities and fun, nighttime
parties and entertainment. Plus,
a multi-night motorcoach
and/or train land tour to exciting inland destinations that the ship
can't reach.You'll find a cruise ship is a floating resort, with all
the things a fine resort has to offer and more. You'll
meet new friends, people like yourself who share the
same tastes and interests. And, you can spend your days
and nights being as lively or leisurely as you like.
At sea, the hassles of an ordinary vacation are completely
eliminated in one convenient package. You don't have to
worry about making dinner or nightclub reservations,
running to make connections, packing and unpacking, or
expensive charges at restaurants and nightclubs. |

 "
Our trip was excellent. The room, with the upgrades, was
amazing! We saw many eagles (bald and golden), one bear,
many whales, including one breach, seals, one bear, one
wolf, moose and carribou, and many smaller animals.. If
we travelled during salmon run, we probably would have
seen more bear and eagles. The scenery is to die for,
the vistas spectacular. The ship was great; service,
food, etc were all great. Thanks for everything. " Larry

Cruise Secrets
Revealed...
Did you Know?
Most cruise lines do not allow travel agents to
advertise prices lower than the cruise lines offer to
those who book
directly with the cruise line. However, some do allow
travel agencies to discount by rebating part of the
commissions, when dealing directly with a potential
customer. If you are shopping the Internet for cruise
prices, you're most likely going to find many travel
sites quoting the same price. But, the price you're seeing on a travel agent's web
site is not necessarily the best price that travel
agency is able to offer you. To find out a travel
agency's best price on a particular cruise, you should
call them, or e-mail them a request for a price quote.
Most travel agencies have toll-free phone numbers. Don't
hesitate to call or email them-- you could save a lot! |

Form a Group. Save BIG!
Did you know the most overlooked way to stretch your
 dollar
is to form your own cruise group. Traveling with family
or friends, or both, can lower costs enough so you can
travel even when the economies not that good. Of course,
most of us don't have the time - or inclination - to
make the calls and do the research for an entire group.
It's a big job. On the other hand, booking a group
cruise is easy for a professional travel agent. Your
agent can create a package that works for you, while
your group will realize across-the-board savings from
group discounts that your agent discovers.
