Virginia Cruise Deals - Cruise For Less!



Looking for cruise deals? Want a fantastic cruise experience without paying an arm or a leg?

Skip the airfare: Virginia is a great base for cheap cruising! (So is nearby Baltimore.)

Virginia offers a dazzling array of cruises, ranging from Bermuda itineraries, to Chesapeake Bay cruises, to cruises touring the largest naval base in the world.

Carnival CruiseWe took a 7-day Carnival cruise to the Bahamas from Baltimore. No airfare needed!

And with Virginia being within a day's drive of much of the Eastern seaboard, it's a perfect way to get the cruising experience without having shell out airfare too. Thanks to the new Norfolk, Virginia cruise terminal, cruise deals to Bermuda have never been cheaper for those living in the Mid-Atlantic region, and if you can travel last minute, your savings could be huge.

Update: Carnival is back at Norfolk

After a one-year absence, Carnival Cruise Lines has announced several 2019 cruise departures from Norfolk. They include 5 and 6-day cruises to the Bahamas, visiting Nassau, Half Moon Cay, and Freeport on the Carnival Triumph. Here are the details and 2019 dates.

Spirit of Norfolk Cruises

To spice things up, your waiters may burst into song to accompany a DJ spinning top 40 songs.

They offer theme cruises (such as Full moon, Meet the Princess, and Gospel), and a variety of holiday events, such as a Valentine's cruise and a New Year's Eve cruise.

From time to time, they offer cruise deals. For example, they often offer Kids Sail Free deals on select dates in August.

Chesapeake Bay Cruises

Go on a Norfolk "mermaid" scavenger hunt!

The 49-passenger American Eagle, which starts from the port of Baltimore, also makes stops at Yorktown, Tangier Island and Annapolis, and tours the Patuxent River, Tangier Sound, and other destinations.

The American Eagle has 31 staterooms with picture windows and satellite TV's, as well as four lounges and four decks. Unlike most cruise ships, which feature glitzy, casino-style entertainment, American Cruise Lines provide excellent cuisine and relaxation with a local, historical flair.

Onboard activities include lectures by naturalists, historians, and other experts, who "bring the local history, nature and culture alive with their knowledge and passion for American heritage."

Cruise deals rates for a 7-day, 6-night cruise range from $2560 to $3790 per person, and the season runs from June to November. For more information, see www.americancruiselines.com or call 800-814-6880.
