One-week Alaska cruises under $500

If you act fast, you can snag a week-long Alaska cruise later this summer on either Princess' Island Princess or Holland America's Volendam. Both are available from Vacations to Go, an Internet discounter, but either deal could evaporate at any time.

The Princess cruise departs from Whittier, Alaska, near Anchorage on August 27 and visits Glacier Bay National Park and the Inside Passage en route to Vancouver, Canada. Inside cabins start at $499 per passenger, double occupancy. Click here for Vacations to Go Fast Deal #10971.

The Holland America cruise embarks September 7 at Seward, Alaska, also near Anchorage, and visits Hubbard Glacier before cruising the Inside Passage to Vancouver. Inside cabins start at $449 and oceanview cabins at only $489, a real bargain (you won't regret having a window on an Alaska cruise). Click here for Vacations to Go Fast Deal #23597.

Deals like this won't last long, so if you're interested, book now.
