Tough Economy makes luxury cruising more affordable – {Travel Daily News}

“Cut-backs” and “budgeting” might be the buzz words for this summer, but the rough economy does have its advantages, luxury is now available for much less, according to cruise reviews and news Web site, CruiseCritic.co.uk.

Cruise travellers are finding that luxury packages and the best cabins are much more affordable, and they can get much more for their money than in previous years. Anticipating a tough year for luxury sales, cruise lines are offering significant discounts on their best cabins, suites and members-only facilities. It is a tactic that appears to be working — many luxury agents have reported record sales inquiries in the past few months, likely stimulated by the generous discounts being offered.
