Norwegian Cruise Line continues to offer the most and deepest bargains at sea
Amid a torrent of discounted cruise offers, hardly any cruise lines offer sharper reductions than Norwegian Cruise Lines. Most of these are funneled through an internet discounter called Online Vacation Center (tel. 800/329-9002; www.onlinevacationcenter.com), and increasingly the offers are not limited to inside cabins without portholes, but apply to ocean view, balcony-equipped staterooms of high quality.
Currently, Online Vacation Center is offering seven-night sailings in outside, balcony-equipped cabins on board the Norwegian Dawn from Miami, and on board the Norwegian Star from Los Angeles, for $699 per person, a remarkable value.
From Miami, the sailings on the Norwegian Dawn for that price leave on November 29, December 6, and December 13 of this year and on January 3, January 10, and January 17 of 2009. The itinerary: to Samana, St. Thomas, Tortola, and Great Stirrup Cay (the latter being a private island). $699 per person for a balcony cabin.
From Los Angeles on the Norwegian Star, the departures are on October 4, 11, 18, 25, November 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and December 6 and 13 of this year. The itinerary: Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. $699 per person for a balcony cabin.
For a higher $749 per person (in an outside balcony), Online Vacation Center will send you on a seven-night sailing of the Norwegian Pearl to Roatan, Belize City, Cozumel, and Great Stirrup Cay, leaving round-trip from Miami on October 12, 19, 26, November 9, 16, 30, and December 7 and 14 of this year.
And finally, for $899 per person in an outside balcony cabin, Online Vacation Center will send you on a seven-night sailing of the Norwegian Gem round-trip from New York on December 6 and 13 of this year, visiting Port Canaveral, Great Stirrup Cay, Nassau, and Grand Bahama Island.
