Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Cruising has always offered the biggest bang for your travel buck because your stateroom, meals, entertainment and transportation are all included in one low price. Today, the value of a cruise vacation compared to a resort or all-inclusive vacation in any international destination is better than ever, especially if you are able to avoid flying and drive to a U.S. or Canadian port of departure.

With that in mind, I've compiled a list of deeply discounted cruise deals up to 87% off from U.S. and Canadian ports. Simply click the name of the departure port below to see those deals now.

Make the most of your time in each port of call by booking excursions with Shore Excursions Group, our preferred provider. They offer exceptional shore excursions at prices up to 40% lower than the cost of excursions offered through the cruise line.

Shore Excursions Group delivers a high-quality experience with fewer participants per guide. You'll see some of the world's most beautiful places, and you won't feel rushed. All excursions are backed by around-the-clock support and a guarantee that you'll return to the ship well before the final embarkation time.

After you book your cruise, your Vacations To Go cruise counselor will send you a link to a list of excursions that are available for your trip. You can book online at your convenience. Remember, many excursions sell out quickly so it's best to reserve yours early.
