Ocean cruises to nearly any destination, even aboard luxury lines, are available at bargain pricing. The cruise line industry is relatively healthy; it has nearly doubled in passengers served over the past eight years. It aims to stay that way by being sensitive to pricing in an uncertain economy. For example, New York-based Travel Dynamics International is waiving its $1,000 fee for single travelers. It’s also offering a 50% discount to couples on selected itineraries and hotel perks in your port of departure. Fort Lauderdale-based Silversea is offering discounts and throwing in an on-board spending credit for add-ons like guided tours ashore or spa treatments.  The Hidden Treasures of Japan package takes guests from Kobe to Kurashiki, Hiroshima to Yakushima, and Nagasaki to Hagi for $6,349 per person. While the $800 savings isn't 50 percent, it's still significant — and might be just enough to make some travelers change their minds about staying home this year.
