If you want a good deal for Christmas or New Year… Book early for next year and get a better deal!

I have had lots of customers during the last couple of weeks phoning to ask me for a last-minute Christmas deal.  Now a couple of months ago I may have had a few fairly good deals (with limited availability) but now it looks like there really are slim pickings and due to this the prices of what is now available have increased a lot!  Holidays as with anything are all about supply and demand to control the prices.  Let me give you an example of what is available this year in comparison to next year:

Based on 2 sharing and a select fare

P&O Ventura 21 December 2017

14 nights Atlantic Islands cruise

Inside cabin – £2851pp including £50pp on-board credit

VS

P&O Ventura 21 December 2018

14 nights Atlantic islands cruise

Inside cabin – £1849pp including £50pp On-board credit

This is just one of many very favourable comparisons for booking further ahead.  When checking operators such as Marella cruises, MSC, Celebrity, Cruise and Maritime (to name just a few) availability for this year is even more scarce to non-existent.  It really does highlight the need to look further ahead for your festive break.  With the option of a low deposit to secure your cruise and the balance being paid off nearer to the time you will have the luxury of not only having choices, so you can find your perfect cruise but also the ability to spread the costs over next year.

Early booking is normally favourable in the school holiday periods too.  Especially if you are travelling with children (as some cruise-lines limit the number of children of each age group on-board) or looking for larger cabins.

Although there is very little available for this year I am always up for a challenge and to help each customer to the full.  To plan your cruise for this year or next please contact me on 03333002638 and I will be very happy to find you the perfect cruise!
