Costa puts Indian Ocean on sale

Here's a particularly intriguing Indian Ocean itinerary from Costa Cruises, offered as two 26-night repositioning cruises in November-December 2007 and March-April 2008, and starting at just $2,769 for inside staterooms. Fares are per person, based on double occupancy.

Embarking either in Savona, Italy, or in Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, the Costa Marina cruises make stops in such exotic and farflung ports as Alexandria, Egypt; Aqaba, Jordan; Hodeidah, Yemen; Mahe, Seychelles; Mombasa, Kenya; Nossi-Be, Madagascar; and St. Denis, Reunion. They both pass through the Suez Canal along the way.

Costa is an Italian cruise line, but this offer is good only for U.S. and Canadian residents and expires June 15, 2007. Call 800/462-6782 or go to costacruises.com and ask for discount code AF.
