Well, here’s a clever promotion for anglers out there who may be taking an Alaska cruise on Princess Cruises this summer: The cruise line is offering to cook whatever you catch.

When I saw the promotion, it brought back a fond memory of a charming Italian captain named Potenzoni, who was master of the long-departed Fairsky cruise ship from the now defunct Sitmar Cruises, which was acquired by Princess. The captain loved to fish in port and would have his chefs prepare what he caught during Mexican Riviera cruises.

Cruiseable's take

With a wide array of exotic vacations, from the opulence of the Orient to the vibrant cultures of the Caribbean and Amazon, there are few cruises that equal the country club elegance of a sailing aboard an Oceania Cruises ship. This special is for a limited time only. 

The offer

Star Clippers, operators of three classic tall ships, is waiving the typical 50% supplement for solo travelers on select sailings in the Mediterranean in 2016. Throughout April and October 2016, Star Clipprs is offering attractive rates with no single supplement on 4- to 11-night voyages on all three of its ships. 

Cruiseable's take

Many travelers are still unfamiliar with the astonishingly beautiful masted ships from Star Clippers. Count us among those who'd like to see the single supplement — which unfairly penalizes single and solo travelers — scrapped or overhauled. Solo cruisers with a bent for adventure ought to love a Mediterranean sailing on any of Star Clippers' ships. 

The offer

AmaWaterways is offering guests free air fare to Europe on select 2016 departures. Reserve a balcony stateroom and you'll receive free air fare to Europe from the gateway cities listed below.

Cruiseable's take

Many more people would spring for a cruise on one of AmaWaterways' world-class river ships if only it weren't for pricey international air fare. AmaWaterways has removed that barrier with a very nice sweetener. If you've been considering a romantic European river cruise, this is an excellent choice.

The offer

Royal Caribbean is offering couples the following special: Other extras: reduced up-front deposit and up to $300 in onboard credits (the equivalent of spending money). 

Cruiseable's take

Royal Caribbean surfaces these specials periodically throughout the year. If you'd like a cruise in 2016 and like a big-ship experience, Royal Caribbean ships are hard to beat.

The great thing about this special is that it applies to hundreds and hundreds of sailings — in fact, it covers all cruises from Dec 10, 2015, through Dec. 31, 2016.

The offer

Celebrity Cruises is offering a fare of $1,649 per person (based on double occupancy) on select itineraries to Europe and Alaska — see below. In addition, Cruiseable and Celebrity will award you a $100 to $300 onboard credit per stateroom (the equivalent of spending money) for booking with us.
