Deals on Alaska cruises get harder to find as June approaches. So we were thrilled to discover this $849 per person Balcony Cabin special from Cruises International on popular 7-night Alaska cruises.

To really put this deal in perspective: A Balcony Cabin on this same cruise can soar to $1700 or more in later summer months.

With an itinerary that includes cruising the Inside Passage and Sawyer Glacier, a balcony cabin is the best way to see the breathtaking beauty of Alaska. You'll sail aboard the top-rated Norwegian Star roundtrip from Seattle, making stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway and Prince Rupert.

Bonus: If you book by this Sunday, April 13, Balcony Cabins will also include a $75 shipboard credit.

Saturday departures*: 
$849 ... May 17 or 24
$899 ... May 31
$999 ... June 7 & 14
* Additional departures and Alaska cruises available for slightly more

Beyond the Deal ... Get up close and personal with America's Last Frontier by booking a shore excursion that'll take you into the heart of Alaska. One of our favorites includes an exciting train ride on the White Pass and Yukon Route, where you can relive the mad rush to the Klondike in 1898. Curious about our national symbol? Visit an eagle sanctuary while in Ketchikan.
