7-Night Greece Adriatic Cruise from $2,564

Enjoy a mix of major ports (Mykonos and Athens, Greece) and lesser-known ports (Sibenik, Croatia; Gythion, Greece) on a seven-night Eastern Mediterranean cruise on Seabourn Odyssey. The first luxury new-build to debut in six years will also be Seabourn’s largest ship, carrying 450 passengers and featuring a two-deck, 11,400 square foot spa and course-by-course balcony dining on real verandahs (rather than French balconies). Fares for the ship’s maiden European season are not even outrageously expensive, with prices starting at $2,564 per person for a spacious 277-square-foot window suite. You’ll also receive free drinks throughout the ship and included gratuities, and enjoy a high level of service and cuisine.

Six-Night Westbound Transatlantic Cruise From $895

It used to be that an inside cabin on one of Queen Mary 2’s transatlantic voyages was a steal at $999 during the shoulder season months of April and November. But prices have been dropping, and now you can book this iconic itinerary for $895 for peak summer sailings. That’s $150 a night for a small inside stateroom — you can pay more to upgrade to a bigger cabin, or keep the cash in your pocket and spend most of your onboard time outside your room, exploring QM2’s multiple restaurants, Canyon Ranch Spa, planetarium, Royal Court Theatre, library and many lounges.

7-Night Northern Europe Cruise on QM2 from $939

Sail in classic cruise style this summer for a tour of Northern Europe’s wondrous fjords on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2. Starting from $939 per person, or just $134 per night, this cruise begins and ends in Southampton and travels to scenic ports like Stavanger, Flam, Hellesylt, Geiranger and Bergen. Be sure to bring your camera and plenty of memory cards, because the breathtaking sights of steep cliffs dipping down into deep blue bodies of water will leave you mesmerized. This is a great price, considering you’re sailing with a deluxe line, and by booking with Cruise.com you could be eligible to receive delicious canapes in your cabin — free of charge!

3-Night Bahamas Cruise from $239

One of MSC Poesia’s short cruises for its inaugural season in North America is the three-night Tropical Getaway cruise, which starts at only $239 per person — or $80 per night. By this time next year, you could be in need of some sunshine after a cold winter. Sail roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale, and visit the nearby island ports of Nassau and Key West. Refresh with a slice of famous key lime pie in Key West and soak up the sun on Nassau’s beaches. This is the perfect mini-break for those who need to getaway.

7-Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise from $3,497

For a last summer fling, consider a seven-night Eastern Mediterranean cruise to Greece and Turkey on luxury cruise ship Silver Whisper. Itinerary highlights include an overnight in Istanbul and calls at less visited ports (by cruise ships, anyway) such as Symi and Volos. Fares start at $3,497 per person and include $500 onboard credit per person. As Silversea is already a very inclusive line — with no extra fees for gratuities or beverages — you can feel free to splurge on shore excursions and spa treatments with your credit.
