TransPacific Bargain Cruise

Would you believe a price as low as $47 per person per day on a cruise from Shanghai, China to Seward, Alasks? The ship calls at one port in South Korea, two in Japan and the most interesting, at least to me, one on the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia. That is the price for an inside cabin on a cruise offered this April by Celebrity (www.celebritycruises.com.)
If you opt for a more desirable outside cabin, the rate is still very reasonable, as low as about $68 per person per day. Unfortunately this is one of those cruises where there is no break for single travellers, who have to pay as much as if there were two of them in the cabin and eating meals. This strikes me as pretty unfair, but it wouldn't keep me from taking advantage of a deal like this.
The additional costs for air fare and shore excursions, of course, would have to be factored in and would probably more than double the cruise price. Still, this could be a very attractive proposition for certain people.
I found information s about this cruise in Phil Reimer's column in the Montreal Gazette (www.montrealgazette.com.) Reimer's Website, www.portsandbows.com, is one worth checking regularly if you are still a fan of ocean travel despite the recent horror stories.
