A five-day cruise to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»from Los Angeles is a steal thanks to a new offer from Princess Cruises.
The current promotion takes 35 per cent off the regular cost of the cruise. Plus, third and fourth guests sail free.
The cruise sails out of Los Angeles on Tuesday, May 7 and spends three days at sea before disembarking in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»on Saturday, May 11.
Passengers will sail on the five-star Sapphire Princess, which has four swimming pools, six hot tubs, a live theatre, mini golf, an ice skating rink, renowned spa treatments, movies under the stars, a jogging track, and much more.
Princess Cruise from Los Angeles to Vancouver
Prices before taxes and port-handling fees are affordable in nearly all room categories, with inside staterooms starting at $281, ocean views at $377, balconies at $512, mini-suites at $647, and suites for $1,456 (see slide two).
The total cost for an interior stateroom for two people is $944.84 ($472.42 per person) including all taxes and port-handling fees. This price works out to a per-person, per diem amount of $94.48 (see slide three).
Not only does that cost include your transportation on a beautiful five-star vessel, but it also includes meals, entertainment, snacks, and lodging. The only thing it doesn’t factor in is alcohol, but you may opt to purchase a drink package that can reduce the cost of your spending.
At under $100 per person per day, you would be hard-pressed to find accommodation in California or Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»for that price let alone with food and entertainment.

Flights from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to LA
One-way, direct flights from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to Los Angeles start at under $100 with Flair Airlines, with one daily departure from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»International Airport (YVR).
Since the Flair flight leaves at 7 a.m. from YVR travellers will theoretically land in L.A. in time to make the cruise. However, it isn't recommended to leave this little time.
Cruise lines prefer passengers to arrive at least four hours before the posted sailing time. Plan to spend one night in L.A. to avoid missing the cruise.
