Lots of cruising deals are still coming in for anyone still hanging on for a bargain. Most are for this year - with plenty of no-fly cruises from the UK in the wake of the ash fiasco - but MSC Cruises has put some spring into its 2011 launch by repeating its cruise-for-£1 offer.
Sounds too good to be true? Well it's certainly not quite as good as it seems as you only get to cruise for £1 if you're sharing a cabin with a person who has paid full brochure price. So it's actually a two-for-the-price-of-one offer by another name.
But whatever you call it, it's a good deal and not to be sniffed at. The cruise-for-£1 offer applies to more than 280 Mediterranean cruises in 2011, but you'll need to book by May 10. Flights are not included. See your travel agent or call MSC Cruises on 0844 879 4923.
There's also still time to snag a bargain in the Windstar sale, which ends on May 3. Windstar operates three sailing ships and is offering incredible savings of up to £1,958 per couple as well as free cabin upgrades on selected Wind Surf sailings in the Med.
