By Kristin Whitton
Travelzoo Staff

The cruise season for Northern Europe is restricted to May through August due to weather conditions, so prices can run high compared to other regions. But if you can leave on select dates in May or June, CruiseDeals.com can get you on Norwegian Cruise lines for up to $350 OFF regular prices.

For only $949 per person you can sail 12 nights on the Norwegian Jewel when similar itineraries are going for up to $1000 more. Plus, the first 50 cabins will receive a FREE onboard savings book.

The Norwegian Jewel was designed around NCL’s Freestyle Cruising concept, allowing you to leave your tux or gown at home (but only if you want to), because formal nights are optional.
