If you're anything like us, you love a great deal. Especially when it comes to travel. Welcome to Travel Deals Thursday, where each week we dig through hundreds of emails, alerts, and travel sites to bring you a few of the best deals we found on cruises, flights, hotels, and all-inclusives. So welcome to Travel Deals Thursday.
So Scott, we hated it that we missed a couple of weeks of our travel deals, but we had family things to attend to and time to spend with family and the funeral and all that. So we are excited to jump back in, not only into the travel deals, but to some upcoming travel as well.
So today we have some amazing travel deals that make bucket list trips actually doable. whether you're dreaming of a luxury Caribbean cruise, an all inclusive romantic escape or a family friendly island hopping adventure, I've handpicked three of the best deals available right now. And yes, these are definitely deals that we would book ourselves. So Scott, let's get started.
All right, so this first one is for the adventurous traveler who wants something completely different. And honestly, I don't know how this is still available at this price. It's a 15 day North Pacific crossing with Holland America Line sailing from Tokyo, Japan to Vancouver, Canada aboard the Westerdam. Now, like we're about to do.
This is a repositioning cruise, which means you're getting some of the best value on the ocean. Especially if you've always wanted to experience both Japan and Alaska and maybe even do that on the same trip. It's going to depart April 13th of 2026. And here's the best part. You can get an inside cabin starting at just 1724 per person. Now I know inside cabin that's
probably not what you thought of when you were thinking about going to Alaska on a cruise, but it is a great value. And if you're really interested in experiencing all the amenities on board the ship, all the great food and the shows and entertainment, this is a really good deal. And that's 15 days at sea.
all of your meals, all of your entertainment and stops in multiple countries. Yeah, and not to mention it's going to be cold that time of year for sure. But of course, there are other cabins available. We just wanted to point out that that is an amazing deal. So you'll explore Kishiro in Japan, then cross the Pacific with relaxing sea days before stopping in places like Kodiak, Seward, Glacier Bay.
Sitka, Ketchikan, and then finally docking in Vancouver. So that's what's so crazy about this, right? You've got Japan, then Alaska, and then of course you end up in Canada, which is super cool. Like this is, this one is right up our alley. Yeah, this is definitely a bucket list worthy voyage. And if you've got the flexibility to fly to Tokyo
And you want a cruise that combines culture, nature, stunning coastal scenery. This one right here is a no brainer for you. Yeah. So we're going to link the full itinerary in the show notes, as well as the links to how to get these and other travel deals. So Scott, the cool thing about this is that you could do a trip in Japan, right? And go and see all the things and then do this on the way back. And that would be a great way to rest. Now, a lot of people are like, but wait,
You wouldn't have a round trip flights, but keep in mind round trip flights are not always the cheapest thing anyway. and even when we did our Alaska cruise, it wasn't round trip flights because we did a one way cruise. And if you only have to do that long leg once, how great is that? Because then on the way back, you're on the cruise, you're having all these luxury meals you're walking around the ship.
You've got live entertainment. This is the way to travel across seas Yeah, and not to mention if you're already on the West Coast no-brainer Yep Let's move on to our second one, which is an all-inclusive deal and we said we're waiting for these all-inclusive deals to start dropping because we hadn't seen a whole lot of them up to this point Yeah, so I picked out one specifically but Sandals is having a big sale
right now. So Sandals Regency LaToc in St. Lucia. And so if you are looking for relaxation, luxury, all included romance, this one is for you. And so this one is actually a stacked promotion. it's up to $1,000 off. One free night with a seven plus night stay. And so if you have a seven plus night stay, you're also going to get that a thousand.
So there are other discounts for lower stays too, just not quite that much. You'll also get $175 resort credit and that's another bonus of this specific promotion and then $100 web booking bonus, but we can also get you that if you wanna book this through us as well.
So for this one in St. Lucia, the room start at just $274 per person per night, includes premium food, drinks, activities, and even golf, greens fees, all that is included in St. Lucia. So this is a perfect adults only escape for honeymoons, milestone anniversaries, or just reconnecting with your partner. And Scott, they actually also have specials if it's close to your anniversary that I just learned yesterday. So if you are within a month,
of your anniversary date, you get an extra deal. And that's something that we can also help out with. Yeah. I mean, give us a call. Let us book it for you. It doesn't cost you anything extra for us to take on that part of the work for you. And all you got to do is worry about going. Yes. But we will also put the link so that you can look at that yourself as well. And so finally, our third deal is for our luxury lovers.
And this is a 15-day Leeward Isles Serenade cruise with Oceana Cruises. It departs on March 3rd of 2026 round trip from Tampa aboard the Insignia. It visits St. Martin, Antigua Barbados, St. Barts, San Juan, and more, all with Oceana's signature small ship, luxury, and the finest cuisine at sea.
Fares start at just $4999 per guest. There's a special bonus offer right now where you can get a two category state room upgrade if you book a PH1 to a G category. So this one is all about elegant travel, fewer guests, better service, and an upscale experience throughout. But 15 days on a luxury ship for under $5,000 is really amazing. And it's cool that it goes and comes from Tampa too.
So we will have the link for that one as well. Yeah I mean this is top-end across the board so top-end rooms and accommodations top-end entertainment top-end food, right? They do it at top-end. It's a two-week trip. That's even better.
Well, so there you have it. There's three unforgettable travel experiences for you, all of them with incredible deals that are not going to last long. So if any of these caught your attention.
