Kids Sail Free in the Mediterranean

I have been meaning to post this offer for nearly a week, so I hope I am not too late for you!

Disney Cruise Lines are offering free sailings for your kids on an (admittedly somewhat narrow) range of sail dates at the very beginning of the Mediterranean cruise season for 2101. The cruises on the Disney Magic are 10 or 11 nights, and take in amazing, interesting ports of call in Italy, Spain, France, Tunisia, Malta and Corsica...

If you don't mind pulling your kids out of school for a couple of weeks (and on these cruises they will certainly have ample opportunities to learn Geography and History first-hand) you take an amazing family cruise, for WAY less than otherwise might be the case. (I booked a family of 4 in an inside cabin for $5800 USD for 11 nights - before airfare, but including all other taxes and fees). Compare that with a 7-night cruise in the Caribbean, for the same family and cabin type which could easily be $4600 or more...

Accommodations can range from standard "inside cabins" right up to the deluxe balcony staterooms (but not suites). Kids up to 17 years of age sail for free, as long as they are travelling with 2 paying adults. The dates to consider are between April 24th, 2010 and May 26th, 2010. While there is no actual last "booking date" to take advantage of this offer, space is limited, so if you are interested you should book as early as you can, as prices continue to increase (as per most cruise bookings) the later you book...
