Early Booking Savings and Cabin Category Upgrade Offered by YMT Vacations on Alaska Cruises

El Segundo, CA (October 20, 2010) – YMT Vacations, a leading provider of vacation packages for savvy adult travelers, announced in their 2011 version of the Alaska vacations brochure that a $100 discount will be given to individuals who book the Alaska Cruise and Great Northwest Tour before October 31, 2010. In addition, a free upgrade by one cabin category will be given for these bookings (this upgrade also applies to their popular Alaska Cruise and Canadian Rockies Tour).

“We send several thousand people to Alaska every year, the majority on the Canadian Rockies and Great Northwest itineraries where we get the most repeat customers. We wanted to offer an added incentive to those who are able make their travel plans early on,” comments Oliver Milton, Marketing Director of YMT Vacations.

Both tours feature a 7-night Holland America cruise of Alaska traversing the Inside Passage with stops at Juneau, Ketchikan and Glacier Bay National Park. They differ in the land itineraries: The Canadian Rockies includes highlights such as Lake Louise, Banff, Icefields Parkway in Jasper, and the Columbia Icefields. The Great Northwest includes Yellowstone National Park, Lake Coeur d’Alene, Salt Lake City and the Grand Coulee Dam.

“Besides our two most popular Alaska tours, we are also adding new trips to this year’s Alaska lineup. We want to provide a variety of options for our customers to choose from,” states Frank Chanel, VP of Operations at YMT Vacations.

The newest addition is a 7-night NCL cruise with a 5-night land tour featuring San Francisco, wine tasting in Napa/Sonoma Valley, and an overnight train ride (in a sleeper car) aboard the Amtrak Coast Starlight up to Seattle. This Alaska Cruise and West Coast Tour allow travelers to experience the highlights of the Pacific Northwest, and then the thrill of an Alaska cruise. There are 9 departure dates available on this 13-day cruise tour with prices starting at $1,499 per person.

For those looking for an extensive Alaska land experience to combine with a cruise, YMT offers a couple of options. The first is an Alaska Denali National Park Tour and Cruise, which includes the Great Alaska State Fair. There are two dates in August available (the 23^rd and 30^th) and prices start from $2,499 per person for this 14-day cruise tour. For those looking for a longer land stay and shorter cruise, there is the Alaska Cruise and Tour featuring a 3-night cruise aboard Holland America’s ms Zuiderdam and a 9-night land tour featuring Denali National Park, Fairbanks and Anchorage. This 13-day cruise tour begins in Vancouver, B.C. and starts from $1,919 per person for June departures. Both of the new Alaska cruise tours reflect the same qualities used in planning every YMT vacation: great value through combined with a balance of sightseeing, excitement and relaxation.
