A Trio of Luxury Cruise Bargains to Snag Right Now

The economic crunch means that cruise bargains are easy to come by right now; even the luxury lines are looking to fill staterooms and suites. Here are three hot deals I'm following:

Springtime in the Mediterranean
$899 pp Aboard the Azamara Journey
This May 16, 2009 seven-night itinerary is a wonderful value for those 55 years of age or older. If you fall into that category, rates are available from $899 per person. You'll embark in Rome and call upon Florence and Portfino, Italy; Monte Carlo, Monaco; Bonifacio/Corsica, France; and Tunis, Tunisia before debarking in Barcelona, Spain. Seriously, can you pass up a Med cruise for less than $130 pp per night?

Are you free on April 12, 2009? If so, avail yourself of SeaDream's knock-out rate of $1,799 per person for a five-night Caribbean sailing aboard the SeaDream I. You'll sail from Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas to San Juan, Puerto Rico and will call upon Cruz Bay, St. John; Gustavia, St. Barthelemy; Anguilla; and Jost van Dyke, British Virgin Islands.
