What Is A Bargain?

Everyone likes a bargain. Maybe the pair of shoes you have been looking at for ages that suddenly drops in price, or maybe a holiday or cruise.

I spend most of my working week looking at different offers on different cruise lines and I have to say that there are some really good deals on at the moment, as long as you can make a decision by the end of October of course! The one cruise line who`s offers look really good are Princess. Here are a few suggestions for you to have a look at . All are sailing from Southampton on the lovely Sapphire Princess. Prices start at £ 699 pp.

The cruise visits Bergen, Geiranger, Helleysilt, Olden and Stavanger and, having just been there myself, Norway is a fabulous country so don`t dismiss it as boring, it is probably one of the most beautiful cruise destinations in the world. This cruise also sails in July when the weather should be perfect.

On destination I would love to go to is the Baltic. Sapphire Princess sails from Southampton on 4th May for a 14 night cruise to the Baltic taking in Zeebrugge ( for Brussels & Bruges ) , Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tallin, St Petersburg, Helsinki and Gdansk.

the stop in St. Petersburg is 2 days giving everyone a chance to have a look at this beautiful city. If you book an excursion the Russian visa will be included for you and this will definitely be the best way to explore the city. Prices for this one start at £ 1149 per person – a real bargain !

Fancy a spot of winter sunshine? Then set sail to the Canary Islands on 8th of October. Sapphire Princess has an 11 night trip with prices starting from £ 1099 per person. Visit Madeira, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote on this one.

These all have to be booked by 31st October and are selling fast already. Definitely a case of the early bird catches the worm !
