Welcome to summer, when travel bargains can seem to dry up like grass under a parching mid-day sun. If the standard Caribbean cruise holds little appeal to you, don't despair.
New ships offering new itineraries offer something for just about everyone.
The Enchanted Capri offers a holiday cruise on December 24. The entertainment featured during each of the specialty cruises is in addition to the cabaret-style entertainment offered each sailing. The Enchanted Isle seven-night cruise departs the Port of New Orleans on Saturdays and returns the following Saturday with stops at Montego Bay, Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Grand Cayman. The Enchanted Capri five-night cruise departs New Orleans on Sundays heading to Playa del Carmen, Cozumel and Progreso, at the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. Gauguin Summer specials are available to passengers on Radisson Seven Seas Cruises which bases its luxury ship Paul Gauguin in French Polynesia for seven-day sailings.
