Off Peak Europe & Alaska Cruises

MISSED YOUR CHANCE TO CRUISE IN EUROPE OR ALASKA THIS YEAR? Perhaps not.
While Europe and Alaska cruises fill fast for the summer months, you can often find space available during the spring and fall (or in the case of Alaska, late summer). There are a number of reasons to cruise these popular destinations during the off-peak season. For starters, you’ll likely pay less for your cruise in the spring and fall when kids are in school than you’ll pay for cruising during the peak summer months when everyone is vying for the same itineraries and guestrooms. With fewer families cruising outside the summer months, there is generally less competition for berths. Plus, by cruising at the “bookends” of the cruise season, you’ll avoid the crowds.
For Europe cruises, off-peak runs from September to November and again from March until May. In Alaska, off-peak runs for only about a month at each end of summer, during May before the peak cruise season and during September after the cruise season.
Weather for off-peak cruises typically is not an issue in either Alaska or Europe. May, in fact, tends to be one of the sunniest and driest months in Alaska. In Europe, the weather varies by region, but the Mediterranean climate is usually warm and dry during the off-peak months.

Get ship-shape with hip-hop on Royal Caribbean

Author: Ralph Grizzle / Avid Cruiser
Brought to you by Cruises International
1-800-ALLSHIPS / www.cruisesinternational.com

Even if your demographic profile is not a perfect match with the hip-hop generation, Royal Caribbean International wants to help you learn how to bust a few moves this summer. Fleetwide starting in July, Royal Caribbean ships will be showing the Gotta Dance documentary that tells the story of a senior hip-hop troupe that performs at New Jersey Nets basketball games, as the NETsational Seniors, and the cruise line is inviting guests to use that inspirational movie as a springboard toward learning some new dance moves, including the kinetic, high-energy hip-hop style.

Gotta Dance participants will be divided into teams, and over the course of their vacation, they will learn and practice their steps and moves with a member of the Royal Caribbean dance team in rehearsals during sea days. The program will culminate with a farewell show on the last evening of the cruise in the main theater, with each group performing a different routine choreographed by Kimberlee Garris, the New Jersey Nets’ dance coach who also appears in the Gotta Dance film.
