Cruise to Alaska on an Alaskan Cruise Ship for a Low Cost Price
By CruiseDirector | March 10, 2010
Wouldn’t you love to see Alaska up close and personal? You have probably always thought you’d never make it there, because it is a long, pricey trip even if you take the land route. One of the best ways to get a look at the pretty countryside in America’s forty-ninth state is to take an Alaskan cruise ship. Though these may also be pricey, there are tips which can save you plenty of money and help you take the cruise you want for a discount price.
Plan on taking your cruise at either the very beginning or the very end of the Alaskan cruise season. This runs from late April to sometime in October. Most cruisers who head north wish to go in the summertime when the temperatures are more moderate. By traveling early or late in the season, you will get the most acceptable rates, because the cruise lines will be trying to fill the space on their ships. You may also save a large amount of money if you’re willing to take a cabin on the inside of the ship instead of one that looks out towards the ocean. As an example, a 14 day Alaskan cruise that departs in late April, 2010 costs $900 for an inside room, $1050 for an exterior room, $1500 for a room with a balcony, and $2700 for a suite.
You will frequently find the least expensive costs on Norwegian Cruise Lines trips. A7 day cruise starting in Seattle with an inside room in May, 2010 costs $650. If you wish to leave from Vancouver, you can take the same cruise for $450. The prices are per person based primarily on a2 person occupancy. Rooms are very tiny, so if you’re susceptible to cabin fever, this would possibly not be a good way for you to go. For these costs, though, don’t expect to get a lot of extras. Side trips you take from the ports of call, for example, will cost you extra. Onboard service charges will be added to your final bill.
If you’d really like to see Alaska, and you aren’t worried about space, service, and luxury, then a discount Alaskan cruise just could be for you.
