Vacation Planning Resource: Cruise Line YouTube Channels

If you're like me, you're taking some time off during the holidays to relax with friends and family. Part of this downtime includes planning vacations for 2012 and beyond. So far, we've booked reservations for getaways to Mexico, Fiji, Switzerland, France, and Thailand. We'll see what other adventures we settle upon for the year!

As we search for new vacation ideas, we're reviewing the YouTube channels of various luxury cruise lines and resorts. If you've got some time to view videos and plan your next trip, check out these YouTube channels:

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Seabourn

Silversea | Luxury Cruises

Windstar Cruises

There are some fantastic videos posted by these travel companies and you'll also find links to videos taken by fellow travelers. The combination of marketing videos and real-world experiences will help as you plan your next great escape.

Seabourn Sale with Per Diems from $182 to $442 Ends 10/31

Seabourn runs some pretty decent sales on a regular basis and they've currently extended their "one week" sale, which now expires on Halloween (October 31). Per diem fares for cruises between November 2011 and May 2012 range from $182 to $442 and even includes Quest's World Cruise segments.

Take a look at the chart below, which lists all of the sale fares. Per diems under $250 per night are highlighted in green.

I just got back from Indonesia, a destination that Leonard and I first fell in love with during a visit in 2010. If we had the time, I'd book Seabourn Legend's Borobudur, Bali & Orchid Isles voyage in January or February 2012. Alas, time isn't on my side and if we book a Seabourn cruise it will have to be a 7- to 10-day itinerary...tops.
