Yes, it is still hot, Yes it is still Summer, but before long it will be Winter and you will be asking me where can you go to get warm at a good price.

I can honestly say that if you are looking for warm and good price, than you need to be making plans now. Cruise fares for the coming year are about 20% higher across the board. Those who plan early are the ones who are findng some good prices.

I work for Cruise Brothers and we have what is called group fares. These fares are agreed upon by the cruise companies at a very discounted price. We are able to sell these cabins for a great savings compared to someone who books them online. But here is the secret, once our category inventory is sold out and we have no more availability, then you end up paying a higher prices. Now if you don't mind a higher price, I can easily book for you. Planning is so important!

Here is where I am seeing some very nice values. Asia in January has some good pricing.

Jan 27, 2024 Celebrity - 12 Nights Hong Kong to Singapore - 2 people All Included - $5192 This is a special Distinctive Voyages sailing which you have an onboard host, a welcome cocktail party and a free shore excursion! Very nice program!

Jan 16 2024 Celebrity- 12 nights Singapore to Bali -which takes in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. 2 people Verandah All Included - $4695.02 This is a beautiful itinerary.

There are other good values in Asia this Winter - but don't wait too long to make a deposit and get your space saved. Remember we only have a limited number of cabins and when they are sold, then the price goes higher.

It is also not too late to think about next Summer! I know, this Summer is not over and yet it seems odd to be planning next year already. There are 3 big ships coming into service this coming year, and now is the time to get your deposits on these ships before the prices go up.

Should you know of anyone who might want to take advantage of these great Far East Destinations, please send them my way. I love helping people save money on a vacation!

Cheers,
