Holland America http://www.hollandamerica.com is offering some unusually good deals on cruises this summer and fall. One such is a 15-day North Pacific crossing from Vancouver to Yokohama, Japan with stops in Alaska and two other Japanese ports. The price for an interior cabin starts at just $2461 Canadian per person, which works out to about $1856 U.S. including port taxes, or not much over $100 U.S. per day.
They also have an interesting option for Alaska cruising, a 7-day round trip sailing from Vancouver that starts at $1349 Canadian including tax, or about $1000 U.S. In addition to the low price, the round trip aspect means you don't need to pay extra for air fare from or to Alaska. In addition, they provide some interesting itineraries in Pacific cruises such as Japan, Taiwan, the Phillipines and China.
Of course, port excursions and tips are extra, but some of these prices still seem amazingly good. I sailed with Holland America just once, in the Caribbean, and liked the ship, an earlier version of today's Nieuw Amsterdam.
