Folks are always asking me for some real good travel bargains, some tips on some inexpensive places to go. Well, I'll explain one that beats just about any bargain I have ever heard of, for sure the best one I've ever sold. The Rudy Cruise out of Galveston has always been a real good cruise bargain, but this one will almost top that one!!
We reserved some space on a Viking River Cruise ship for November 25, 2017 going down the Rhine River from Amsterdam to Basel, Switzerland. It's a 7-day Christmas market cruise where we visit several excellent ports in Germany like Cologne, Heidelburg, the French port of Strasbourg, and a day it the Black Forest. The price starts as low as $1,874 a person for a first floor room, based on availability at time of booking. A French Balcony starts at $2,624 a person; a Veranda on the Second Floor will put you back only $2,874.
Those prices include all your meals, and they are really good, take it from me. Also, beer, wine, and soft drinks are complimentary at lunch and dinner. They have coffee, tea, and cappuccino available at all times of the day, and if like the last ones we were on, cookies and muffins were available just about all day.
Included also is an excursion in every port. The good thing about that is that the local guides all speak English very well, and they are easy to hear. Each person is furnished with ear buds and a receiver and you can hear the guide clear as a bell 40 feet away.
Entertainment is not like on the major cruise ships, but it is quite good and entertaining with local musicians, lectures, cooking demonstrations, and usually with a piano playing entertainer on call each evening for listening and dancing pleasure.
What makes this proposal such a good deal I've saved for last. The airfare round-trip from DFW to Amsterdam and return from Basel or Zurich is only $100 a person, including tax and transfers.!!! You read it right....$100 round-trip.
Okay, sounds too good to be true. So yes, there is a catch. It is an attempt to get the ship close to sold out way before it sails. The catch is that the deposit of $1000 per room has to be paid within 72 hours of booking, and before April 30, 2016....the end of this month. The further catch is that the entire cruise and air has to be paid in full by June 30, 2016....a full year and 6 months before it sails.
I call it a travel vacation investment. For sure you couldn't put that money up in a savings account and have made more in interest if you waited to purchase this vacation at a later date. Of course by then it would probably have already been sold out and for sure increased in price.
Give us a call for more details and a brochure and join 9 other couples who have already committed to take this exciting trip down the Rhine River. You've no doubt seen the scenery on television with one of their ships sailing in view of the castles and old churches. You could be on it!!
