Is $399 per person the world's lowest price for a seven-night sailing of a large ship? Seems so.
Eager to draw attention to every record-breaking travel bargain, I can't fail to mention the December 6, 13 and 20 sailings from Charleston, S.C., of the Norwegian Majesty of Norwegian Cruise Line, on which inside cabins are currently being sold for $399 per person, double occupancy, by a cruise discounter called America's Vacation Center (tel. 888/420-1035; www.americasvacationcenter.com). These are seven-night sailings on a standard cruise ship, going from that South Carolina port to Freeport, Nassau, and a private island in The Bahamas; and Port Canaveral; and spending two days simply at sea en route, before returning to South Carolina. If price is your sole criterion, and you're looking for the single most relaxing week of your life, this could be the way to do it.
