Cruise operators offer summer discounts as ships crowd the Caribbean, Alaska
Cruise operators Royal Caribbean, Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings are discounting summer itineraries as they look to fill empty cabins, according to travel agencies and company websites. The companies are lowering summer prices in part because more vessels are headed for already popular Caribbean and Alaskan destinations - and as they reroute ships away from Red Sea destinations due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. In the Caribbean and Bermuda, Royal Caribbean's seven-day itinerary prices in June are down 21% year-over-year as of May. Similar Norwegian and Carnival itineraries are down 12% and 11% respectively, according to TripAdvisor's Cruise Critic, a vacation planning website.
