Sure, fall brings foliage, fairs, festivals and football, but we\u2019ve found even more reasons to celebrate the season: cheap cruises! October is officially known as \u201cNational Cruise Month,\u201d and with it comes an abundance of excuses to book your next voyage. From valuable onboard credits to cruise giveaways, this is the month to plan your vacation on the sea. But low prices are just one of our favorite reasons to book a cruise this fall. Still not convinced? We\u2019ll give you a few more:<\/p>\n

Lower Cruise Rates<\/b><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a reason \u201csummer\u201d and \u201cvacation\u201d go so well together \u2014 that\u2019s when the majority of people take time off to travel. But for those who go against the grain, you\u2019ll find that \u201cfall\u201d and \u201csavings\u201d make a pretty pairing as well. Dare to be different this fall, and plan an off-season adventure, whether you\u2019re sailing to Europe, the Caribbean, or even Australia. Not only will you find some of the best rates on cruises during the fall, but you\u2019ll also have the opportunity to take advantage of the special promotions available during National Cruise Month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lighter Crowds<\/b><\/h3>\n

Why fight large groups of people when you can wait a bit and avoid them? With the rest of the world in a back-to-school, back-to-work mindset, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to score a spot on the relaxing cruise you\u2019ve been dreaming about. Book between summer and the busy holiday season to encounter more space on the sun deck, quicker service at the pool bar, and more intimate excursions (hello, sea turtles, nice to meet you!). Plus, you\u2019ll be escaping to paradise, right in the heart of winter\u2019s chilliest months. Sounds tempting, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\"Carnival<\/a>

Breathtaking Destinations<\/b><\/h3>\n

Where do you dream of sailing away to? September marks the unofficial end of the Alaskan cruise season, but also opens up some interesting new itineraries as those ships change course. Explore cruises destined to reach tropical escapes like South America, the Hawaiian Islands and the Caribbean, where you may find a few exotic creatures along the way. And if you don\u2019t mind traveling a little further before you set sail, create the trip of a lifetime with a cruise to Africa, Australia\/New Zealand or Europe. Remember to plan ahead to make the most of your journey at each port \u2014 and don\u2019t forget to take in the view on your way in!<\/p>\n

New Ships<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Whenever a new cruise ship is unveiled, we can\u2019t wait to be among the first check it out. There\u2019s just something to be said about checking an experience off your bucket list before others have even had a chance to add it to their own. This October, Norwegian Cruise Line introduced the Norwegian Escape, a 1,065-foot vessel ready to accommodate our every whim. Featuring the largest water park at sea, everything is grander on this ship, from its adults-only waterfall grotto to its exhilarating casino. If you choose to stay on board rather than explore offshore, we wouldn\u2019t blame you a bit.<\/p>\n
