Peter Deilmann Cruises offers free air and shore excursions

Peter Deilmann Cruises is offering free air transportation as well as free shore excursions (valued up to $600 per passenger) and free airport-ship transfers on its cruises to the British Isles, Western Europe, and the Mediterranean in September and October aboard the MS Deutschland, a 513-passenger, 286-stateroom deluxe ocean liner.

Free air cities include New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, Miami, Pittsburgh, and 10 others in the eastern U.S. Air supplements of $110 and $150 are available from 34 other cities throughout the U.S. If you don't want to take the free air -- using your own frequent flyer miles, for instance, or just finding a better fare on your own -- Deilmann will deduct $750 per person from the cruise rates.

With the free air offer, cabin prices start at $3,355 per person in double occupancy. The Deutschland has 36 single cabins for solo travelers and charges much less for single supplements than most cruise lines; single cabins start at $3,701.
