Forever Birthday: Think about chartering the right-size ship for you and your family and friends to celebrate a special birthday. The galley will certainly whip up a delicious cake; but the savings can be even sweeter. In general, chartering a ship saves guests 10 percent to 30 percent off the standard per-person cabin rate. AdventureSmith’s most popular charter ships range from 8 to 22 guests. Or one can opt to just book as a small group to take advantage of savings. Feel free to request extra personalized touches on the 8-guest Westward thanks to the yacht’s remarkable Chef Tracie, who maintains a seasonal herb garden on the ship’s upper deck and is famous for her elaborate homemade desserts. Alaska’s Western Passages and Westward Voyages in the Sea of Cortez are two great birthday cruise choices.
Just Gotta Go: When the savings are so substantial, the Antarctic Peninsula becomes more than a dream. March 2, 2020, is the deadline to save up to $1700 per person on select cabin categories on the Antarctic Latitudes cruise aboard the 112-guest Island Sky and 114-guest Hebridean Sky expedition ships. Think penguin rookeries, seal wallows and whale feeding areas, as well as sites of historic and scientific interest on the White Continent.
