Cruise Newsletter Dated
December 10, 2018
Dear Vacations To Go Customer,
For today's newsletter, I'm pleased to present money-saving offers that
we've arranged with Royal Caribbean, MSC, Seabourn and Oceania.
In addition to deep discounts, these offers may include free amenities
or shipboard credits, which are as good as cash on the ship and can be
used toward onboard purchases not covered in the cruise fare, like shore
excursions and Internet packages. Please note that some rates on our
site may not be eligible for free amenities or shipboard credits.
Royal Caribbean is offering Vacations To Go customers huge
discounts -- save up to 76% -- plus exclusive shipboard credits of up to
$300 per cabin on most sailings. Book by December 17.See dates and prices.
MSC has slashed rates by up to 81% on a variety of departures. On
select Caribbean cruises, receive exclusive pricing, free drinks and a
free Wi-Fi package for up to two devices.
See dates and prices.
Seabourn is offering our customers savings of up to 85%, with
free upgrades, free Internet and shipboard credits of up to $2,000 per
cabin on select sailings. The upfront price of a Seabourn vacation
includes open bars, fine wines at lunch and dinner and gratuities.

Oceania has provided newly reduced, exclusive pricing for
Vacations To Go customers -- save up to 81% -- with free upgrades on
select cruises. Plus, receive shipboard credits of up to $900 on select
departures. Book by December 20.See dates and prices.
As always, these offers are for new bookings only and subject to
availability. Restrictions may apply, and some free amenities and
shipboard credits may apply only to eligible rates. Past guests of some
cruise lines may see better rates on select sailings.
Save on cruises of 10 nights or more: For those of you who are
cruise addicts (like me) and love to spend time at sea, I've compiled a
list of our best deals on longer sailings. To see our fantastic
discounts on cruises of 10 nights or more departing in 2019,

Hurtigruten, known for its expedition cruises to intriguing and
remote destinations, has released its 2020-2021 itineraries. Highlights
include the company's biggest selection of Antarctica adventures and
multiple voyages in Alaska. With the release of the new departures,
Hurtigruten now travels to more than 250 destinations worldwide.
Hurtigruten has these fantastic discounts for our customers.
Save up to 81%
off sailings in Canada and New England or Central and South America.
Save up to 44%
off cruises to Antarctica, the Arctic or Alaska.
In 2020, Hurtigruten will take passengers deep into the pristine Alaska
wilderness on small-ship cruises, traveling the Inside Passage and Gulf
of Alaska and calling at less-visited places like the fishing village of
Petersburg, called "Little Norway" because it attracted Norwegian
settlers and still maintains Scandinavian traditions. Sailings take
place aboard the 530-passenger MS Roald Amundsen, Hurtigruten's first
hybrid electric-powered ship.
Other highlights of the 2020-2021 collection include the inaugural
season of the line's second hybrid-powered ship, the MS Fridtjof Nansen,
and an extensive refurbishment of the popular polar vessel MS Fram.
Among new onboard spaces will be a Science Center that uses high-tech,
interactive equipment.
Hurtigruten is famous for its Norwegian coastal voyages, with daily
departures of ships that carry local residents and cargo and
international passengers eager to photograph the fjords and explore
picturesque towns.
Holland America took delivery of its 15th ocean liner, the
Nieuw Statendam,
on November 29, and on December 5 the ship started its inaugural voyage
from Rome to Fort Lauderdale. It features staterooms designed for
families and solo travelers, cooking classes in America's Test Kitchen
and wine-making sessions at Blend. The Music Walk is home to B.B. King's
Blues Club, the Rolling Stone Rock Room for classic rock hits, Lincoln
Center Stage for classical numbers and Billboard Onboard for an
interactive music experience with trivia.
The Nieuw Statendam will sail to the Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale on
trips of seven to 14 nights through April, then move to Amsterdam for
Northern Europe itineraries.

Celebrity welcomed the
Celebrity Edge,
its first new ship in six years, to the fleet in a naming ceremony on
December 4. The Edge will alternate seven-night Eastern and Western
Caribbean itineraries from Fort Lauderdale, and the line organized two
official maiden voyages: the first departed December 9, and the second
departs December 16.
Among the innovations aboard the Celebrity Edge is the Magic Carpet, a
floating platform that can be positioned outside the ship's hull at
different decks (serving as an open-air restaurant on Deck 5, for
example, or an extension of the pool area on Deck 14). A sister ship,
Celebrity Apex, will join the fleet in 2020.
When its inaugural Caribbean season wraps up in April, the ship will
reposition to the Mediterranean. To view discounted departures and
sailing dates for the Edge,

To protect from financial loss in the event of an emergency, Vacations
To Go strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance with every
cruise. Cruise lines impose penalties for canceling or changing a
reservation, up to and including loss of the entire cruise price. Cruise
lines are very strict about their cancellation policies and do not make
exceptions, even under extreme
circumstances.
It also is possible for illness or injury to occur during a cruise,
resulting in medical bills from the ship's infirmary and/or the early
termination of the trip. Most traditional health insurance policies do
not cover cruise passengers traveling abroad.
The Go Plan offered by our preferred independent insurance provider,
Generali Global Assistance (formerly CSA Travel Protection),
covers you for trip cancellation and trip interruption due to a variety
of reasons, such as a covered illness, an injury, the death of you or a
family member or a traveling companion, delayed flights due to inclement
weather and the documented theft of passports or visas.
When you are ready to book a cruise, our cruise counselors will explain
the insurance options that are available for your trip and answer any
questions you may have.
