2-for-1 European cruise deals & gourmet fare

Luxe travel for less: Oceania is offering free round-trip flights from LAX and 2-for-1 fares for select cruises this summer and fall. Sometimes, spending more gets you more — in discounts and quality.

The Deal: Treat yourself and a friend to a luxury experience on Oceania Cruises. This is a great opportunity for cruise lovers to experience full pampering in the Mediterranean.

When: Now until supplies last for each individual itinerary.

Details: This special 2-for-1 offer slashes brochure prices in half. What is published as $7,598 per person for an inside stateroom becomes $3,799 per person. The sales even apply to Owners and Vista suites originally priced at $19,998. Prices vary depending on the itinerary and departure date, and do not include taxes, airport transfers, or insurance, which can be an extra $1,000 or more per person.

Once the reservation is made, guests have 7 business days to make a deposit of $500 each. Those that book well in advance have more flexibility with rooms types and suites that are available with this discount. Fares drop even more as you depart closer to home. For example, Los Angeles to Miami rates start at $2,799 per person.
