New Year…Is it time to book you cruise??

Happy New Year to everyone! I really hope you’ve all enjoyed Christmas and are now looking forward to 2017! I’ve had a lovely time off with my family, especially lovely to spend the holidays with my little girl with all the magic of Christmas around. I’m always sad when it’s all over now but I am looking forward to the new year and all that it will bring…..and with the new year comes holidays!! or more specifically in our cruises! It’s the time of year where everyone starts to think of their next break away,  something to look forward to…sunshine perhaps and a time to get a great deal!!

I came back to work yesterday and already have been asked numerous times…..”Abbi is this the time to book our cruise for the summer?” or “will we get a good deal booking now?” Always a hard one to answer as there are always lots of deals around at different times of the year, some customers booking as brochures are released for a good deal, others hold on to the very last minute and hope to snatch a bargain. All I can say that is if you are looking for a deal now there are lots to be had, if you are a family and thinking of cruising in the summer holidays my advice is to get your cruise booked! If you leave it much longer you may miss out!

So just what’s on offer if you book at the start of the new year…..well there will be drinks packages, on board credit, extra discounts from your cabin, free car parking, reduced child places and lots more.

Here are some of the best deals out there…

Royal Caribbean have their very popular buy one get one half price offer plus you will also get the deluxe drinks package and half price kids on Southampton and European sailings. This is a fantastic offer…one I may book myself very soon! It’s a hard one to beat and of course with Royal Caribbean being such a great family cruise there is no better time to book with them for families.

Celebrity are offering Free Drinks for all the family….another great offer and this is available on selected sailings. Let me know if you are thinking about a Celebrity cruise and I can check if your chosen cruise is on offer.

NCL are offering what I think has been one of the best offers out there….on all sailing 3 nights or longer ( excluding Pride of America and NCL Sky) you can choose from 4 offers…free drinks, free speciality dining package, free Wi-fi or free on board credit. If you book an inside cabin you can choose one of the offers, an outside or balcony cabin or mini suite you can choose two of the offers and for suites you can select all four! A great time to book with NCL.

Princess are offering low deposits, handy at this time of year after all that Christmas spending, on all their 2017 European cruises and also on selected sailings they have children ‘s fares from £99! Excellent for those families out there again with fantastic savings to be had.

As you can see from above there’s plenty of offers out there and I haven’t mentioned lots of other lines such as P&O, Cunard, Cruise & Maritime, Fred Olsen all of which have some amazing new year offers!

Interested….is it time to book your cruise?…..then let me know and I can look at the best deals for you. You can email me direct [email protected] and I look forward to hearing from you as always.

Until next time Abbi x
