Discount Cruise Bound for Alaska

       January 1, 0000    1553

 

Consumer reports show that the price for an Alaskan cruise is still more expensive than traveling to the Bahamas or the Caribbean. This is perhaps because of the sights that attract more visitors each year and as people continue to follow the law of supply and demand, this will continue to do so.

Should the person join the bandwagon then? Yes but a smart traveler does not have to go there during the peak season. The individual can get a discount by booking during the lean months that occurs in winter from December to January.

If the normal rate per day is $750 per head, the passenger can save $250 and only pay $500.

Tourists who would rather spend the holidays with families at home can still get a discount during the peak months. This can be done by booking sometimes 6 months in advance.

Another way, which is a bit risky, is buying a ticket in the last minute. There are some passengers that cancel the reservation and the shipping company will offer it at a lower rate to be able to make some money. The person will just have to inquire regularly to be able to take advantage of this opportunity.

Shipping companies also offer discounts if the person is booking for a group. This already includes food and lodging so the tourists don’t have to shell out any more money during the trip except perhaps to buy some souvenirs on the way home.

The individual can also check with the shipping company if it honors any credit cards. Some companies have a tie up which will entitle the passenger to a 5 or even 10% discount when making a reservation.

The person can ask the shipping company about the discounts being offered by speaking to a representative on the phone or making an inquiry online. The customer will notice later on that the discounts are very similar to one another so this should be compared before choosing the right one.

The travel agent may also help especially in the negotiations but this does not happen very often because at the end of the day, it still has to make a certain amount of money when closing the deal.

When everything is ready, all the person has to do is pack the bags with warm clothing then get ready for an interesting vacation. It is not everyday that the tourist will be able to see humpback whales and other marine creatures in the wild or come face to face with a glacier just a few feet away.

Of course, there are other activities and things to do inland like dog sledding, interacting with the locals, hiking and seeing other animals in its natural environment.

Alaska is a vast place to see and discover. Some of the things mentioned just shows that there are a lot of things to do here even before the ship makes it to port.

Those who have a lot of money may not have to worry about the cost however those who have a limited budget do. The only way to make that dream vacation still happen is by looking in the right places or asking the right people since such promotions are usually advertised.

It may take some time to figure out and finalize which is normal for those who love to travel.
