If you're hoping to spend Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Eve at
sea and haven't already made your reservations, it's time to start
planning. Sandwiched between the value-priced fall season and the peak
winter season,
year-end holiday cruises are the most popular of
them all.
Among the staterooms that sell out first are triples and quads,
adjoining cabins and family suites that accommodate more than four
people.
Click here
for a complete list of ships with adjoining cabins, and
click here
to see a list of ships with family suites. Keep in mind that two
staterooms may cost less than a family suite.
Below are examples of some of the best holiday bargains currently
available. Call right away if you see a deal that interests you. Our
featured specials almost always sell out quickly.

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 the 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, 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.
