Here's a 14-day, $1,859 re-positioning cruise leaving November 29, not only for a top cabin on a classy ship, but also airfare to the embarkation port
A great many Americans are intrigued by the low cost of 14-day re-positioning cruises between the Caribbean and Europe (or vice-versa), but are then turned off by the realization that they need to buy a one-way, trans-Atlantic airfare in order to get to, or come back from, Europe; the re-positioning cruises are one-way only.
That's why it was smart of Online Vacation Center (tel. 800/329-9002; www.onlinevacationcenter.com) to include a one-way trans-Atlantic airfare in the price of a re-positioning cruise in late autumn on the Celebrity Summit, a very classy, upscale ship. Starting from $1,859 per person, Online Vacation Center will first fly you to Barcelona from Miami, New York, Newark or Washington, D.C., and then place you aboard the Celebrity Summit in an outside, balcony-equipped cabin for a 14-night cruise from Barcelona to San Juan, Puerto Rico, leaving Barcelona on November 29, 2008. Considering the very high quality of the ship, the 14-day length of the voyage, and the one-way airfare to Spain, this is quite a value and a trip you might consider.
What's more, Online Vacation Center will charge you only $100 more if you fly out of Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Montreal, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, St. Louis, San Francisco, Tampa or Toronto. And sailing from Barcelona to San Juan, the ship will stop en route in Malaga, Madeira, the Canary Islands, Philipsburg, and St. Maarten.
You won't see a better cruise bargain than this. Keep in mind that the price isn't for the usual inside cabin, but for one with a big window opening onto an ocean-facing balcony. As for the Celebrity Summit, it's a 2,000-passenger giant launched in 2001, with every amenity.
