With airfares going sky high, taking a cruise might be a more affordable travel option, writes Alaska travel columnist Scott McMurren.
If you’re looking for a travel bargain these days, you might want to skip checking on airfares.If you’re headed to Seattle, there are a few dates with good prices. Fly between May 26 and June 26 for between $99 and $139 one-way on either Delta or Alaska.While prices are going through the roof on air tickets, cruise berths are selling at all-time lows.
There are several reasons cruises are priced so low right now. According to Chiron, the prime selling season for cruises was disrupted by COVID-19, as well as the CDC’s guidelines, which steered people away from cruises. “The ship I’m on now has a capacity of about 3,000 passengers,” said Chiron. “I’d say there are about 1,500 on board today.”These last-minute cruises to Alaska from Vancouver are deeply discounted. But Chiron encourages cruise travelers to look at other destinations, including the Mediterranean, Mexico and the Caribbean.has several sailings between Barcelona and Rome, with stops in Genoa, Naples and Marseille. On July 23, berths start at $499 per person, double occupancy.
