(MONEY Magazine) – Disney's new cruise ships--The Magic and The Wonder--are already showing up in package deals. The Travel Co. (800-777-0707) has cut 21% from regular rates, making an all-inclusive, seven-day voyage to Disney's private island $1,194 a person, until April 4. If you prefer a less animated trip, a seven-day Holland America cruise to Nassau, San Juan and the Virgin Islands is $878, down from $1,368, through March 27. Last chance on European off-season deals. Spanair (888-545-5757) has $299 round-trip tickets from Washington, D.C.'s Dulles International Airport to seven Spanish cities through March 31 (three-day advance purchase required). Until March 17, AerLingus (800-474-7424) is selling EarlySaver round trips to Dublin, Shannon or Cork for $318 from New York or Boston, $418 from Chicago. Using a Visa card will save you 15% to 40% at 35 Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts worldwide. That makes Montreal $88 a night and Atlanta $135. The offer is good until March 31. Call 800-241-3333. A lesser-known alternative to Washington, D.C.'s National Cherry Blossom Festival (March 28 to April 11) is the version put on by Macon, from March 19 to 28. Macon has more flowering Yoshino cherry trees than D.C. and is only 90 miles from Atlanta. Call 912-751-7429 for info. --VANESSA RICHARDSON |
