2020 was not a good year for the cruise industry. Most cruise ships have been sitting docked and collecting dust, while cruise companies have scrambled to gain access to capital and emergency loans to stay afloat. With the sun on the horizon, the cruise industry is relaunching, and its offering some very attractive pricing to lure customers back to the Tropics and the Mediterranean. Check out some of these killer deals being offered.
Overnight MSC Cruises Mediterranean
This cruise from Genoa to Barcelona is advertised to start at just $69 per person plus taxes and fees. It is an overnight cruise, for basically the same price as the train, and far more scenic to boot. It includes flexible changes up to 48 hours in advance, and mineral water and coffee in the dining room (at the price point, we’ll take it). With new health & safety protocols for your peace of mind and elevated standards of sanitation and cleanliness, you can rest easy on your cruise.
4-Night MSC Cruises Bahamas
Another screaming deal from MSC Cruises is this 4-night Bahamas & Caribbean from just $149 a per person plus taxes and fees. The cruise leaves from Florida, and goes to two islands in the Bahamas. There are also all inclusive drink and wifi options (which cost more than the $149 a night), so plan your trip and drinking schedule accordingly — paying more initially might help you to save in the long run vs. buying drinks at the cash bar.
3-Day Pacific Coastal Princess Cruise
This 3-day cruise goes from either San Francisco or Los Angeles to Vancouver, or vice versa, and starts at $329 plus taxes and fees for the cruises leaving out of the Bay Area. You will travel aboard the Ruby Princess, a “luminous jewel on the seas and a romantic destination in itself” (says the official Princess Cruises website).
Princess 2-Day Australia Cruise
This 2-day Australian cruise goes between Sydney and Brisbane. It starts at just $99 per person plus fees, and is the cheapest cruise offered by Princess. Travel aboard the Coral Princess, and enjoy views of Australia’s Eastern seaboard, the Pacific Ocean, and koalas.
Royal Caribbean 2-Night Bintan Island Cruise
Travel from Singapore to Bintan Island in Indonesia and back for just $234 per person plus fees. Check out white sand beaches, Buddhist temples, local cuisine, and shopping. Keep an eye out for Dutch colonial architecture as well.
Royal Caribbean 4-Night Caribbean Cruise
This 4-night cruise goes from Texas to Cozumel and back to Texas. From just $269 plus fees per person, you will get to enjoy Quintana Roo’s finest seafood and beautiful beaches. Be sure to check out snorkeling excursions as well as horseback riding on the beach.
Norwegian 7-Day Alaska Cruise
This cruise from Seattle to Alaska includes free open bar and free wifi. This cruise makes its way across Alaska, the Pacific, and you’ll even get to check out Vancouver in Canada. From $552 per person for one week, it’s quite an attractive deal, especially considering the drinks are included.
In Conclusion
With such attractive pricing on cruises for 2021, you really can’t go wrong. All of the major cruise operators have pretty generous policies on rescheduling and cancellation (be sure to check their fine print) in order to assuage would-be anxious customers from booking. With the end in sight, book a cruise before prices head back to normal, and get your 2021 summer off to a right start.
