Princess Offering Wave Season Fares For Europe/Alaska

Princess Offering Wave Season For Europe and Alaska

Princess Cruises is offering special fares on cruises to Europe and Alaska – with a Balcony Bonus Sale through January 31. Clients who book during the event can save up to $1,000 per couple off Launch Fares, plus receive a free balcony upgrade.

These special cruise deals give you the chance to book a balcony stateroom at the same price as an unobstructed oceanview stateroom. The sale also includes Europe and Alaska cruisetours.

So cruisers can combine their Alaska cruise with a land adventure that might include Denali. Or, clients might plan to see Europe or the Middle East in more depth with Classic Italy, Ancient Petra or Swiss Alps land tours.


Examples of the sale fares (all are per person, double occupancy) include:

12-day Mediterranean/Greek Isles cruises from $1,490 ($2,540 balcony)

11-day Scandinavia and Russia cruises from $1,049 ($2,540 balcony)

Crystal Itineraries to See the Midnight Sun

In 2011, Crystal Cruises will double its summer North Cape cruises with two departures cruising Norway's western coast, to the Polar Ice Cap and across the Arctic Circle.

The June 13th Wine & Food-themed cruise celebrates the summer solstice on June 21, officially the longest day of the year, when the sun stays above the horizon. Crystal Serenity's balconies, decks, and 360-degree promenade provide ideal locations to view the varying vistas.

From Copenhagen to Stockholm, calls in Hellysylt/Geiranger, Honningsvag, North Cape, Longyearbyen/Svalbard, Ålesund and Bergen take guests off any beaten path, including a trek across Longyearbyen Glacier, helicopter flight over "Queen of the Fjords" Hardangerfjord, and hike to Plateau Mountain (followed by refreshments at the 23-degree Artico Ice Bar).

A second North Cape cruise departing July 8 also makes a maiden call to Skjolden, Norway, en route to London. Voted World's Best more than any other cruise line, hotel or resort in history, special values for Crystal's 14-day North Cape cruises include:

Per person promotional Two-for-One fares beginning at $9,230

• Up to $2,000 per couple Verandah and Penthouse savings

• Free round-trip air transportation from many U.S./Canadian cities
