Terrorist attacks and insecurity because of the elections in the United States forced many American tourists to refuse to travel abroad. But with the start of 2017, the election situation has cleared up, Europe has recovered from the terrorist attacks, and the Americans are ready to rest again. Many of them showed interest in cruises, which made cruise companies actively compete for customers by offering additional discounts and opportunities.

Edition Miami Herald gathered a few tips on how to choose the most profitable cruise from a variety of offers on the market.

Best Price Deals - in the Caribbean

Cruise companies organizing cruises to the Caribbean in 2016 added a few new liners in this region. More ships means more competition in the fight for the customer, lower prices and the search for other ways to interest the buyer.

Prices here start from $ 179 per person, moreover, when booking early, vacationers will be offered up to 20% discounts. In addition, some companies offer guests additional privileges: unlimited free access to the bar during the cruise, free lunches, discounts on excursions, free Wi-Fi or a free trip for the third and fourth guest.

Go to Europe

After a tourist lull in 2016, associated with terrorist attacks in Paris, Europe is once again returning to the fight for tourists, laying out very good deals that, combined with cheap air tickets, can provide Americans with an inexpensive vacation in the British Isles, the Baltic, Mediterranean and river cruises .

For example, Viking River Cruises offers the Grand European Tour with stops at 14 ports for 15 days, with airfare included and free drinks on board for $ 400.

Alaska prices up

The cost of cruises near Alaska is now 4% higher than it was in the previous few years. But here you can find great deals, weekly tours will cost $ 799, but passengers will get discounts on drinks, free meals and other privileges.

Choose additional features that are important to you.

As you look through offers of additional features and privileges, prioritize which ones are truly important to you and which ones are not necessary. The most popular packages in the last few years have been packages with free drinks and internet, as well as those whose price already includes excursions - each tourist should choose for himself what is more important to him, and not blindly buy all available packages with discounts.

Look for options on expensive cruise lines.

Tourists who rested several times on the mass lines, are increasingly choosing expensive cruise lines. In order to attract customers, these lines in turn offer package tours, with the purchase of which the tourist gets on the ship access to everything for free, as well as free flights. Such packages may end up being cheaper than mass cruises, where you have to pay extra for food, drinks and air tickets. Therefore, you should pay attention to the proposals of expensive cruise lines.

Don't underestimate the value of a travel agent

In addition to helping travelers find publicly available discounts, travel agents also know about additional savings opportunities that companies often don't make public. In addition, agents know what price historically and statistically may be considered a good deal for a particular cruise and what price may not be, so their services can be very helpful.
