Discovery World Cruises offers free air

Discovery World Cruises is offering free air from East Coast cities on its summer 2007 cruise tours to Scandinavia, the North Cape, and the Baltic, as well as $99 air from Midwest cities and $199 from West Coast cities.

Fares begin at $2,950 per person for its "Fjords, Faroes, Fire and Ice" cruises sailing roundtrip from Harwich, UK, on May 31 and July 18. The cruises travel to Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe and Shetland islands of Scotland.

This fall, Discovery's "Transatlantic Crossings" offer two-for-one fares and free air from all Discovery gateway cities. These are repositioning cruises departing from Portugal for South America, so free air makes for a good deal. Prices begin at $4,750 for the first person (second person in cabin sails free) for an 18-day cruise departing Lisbon for Rio de Janeiro November 7, 2007.
