Springtime in Alaska for only $299
Here’s a tip in from Don Pitcher, our on-the-ground author of Moon Alaska: a 7-night cruise in May through Southeast Alaska for a only $299.
Don wrote us this morning wanting to share this deal with Moon readers, and pointed out that while the rest of Alaska can still be a bit chilly in the spring, Southeast Alaska is usually lush and green, just begging to be explored.
The itinerary includes Vancouver, Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Whittier, and cruising around Glacier Bay and College Fjord.
Sailing dates on Princess Cruises are May 18th and 25th, but the deal expires on April 23rd, so there’s only two days left to jump on this. And when you do, make sure to grab a copy of Moon Southeast Alaska, our lean and mean guide that covers all the spots on your upcoming cruise to Alaska.
Happy Sailing!
