VENETIAN UPGRADES

Star Clippers is offering a one-category cabin upgrade and 40% savings on two round-trip Venice, Italy, sailings aboard Royal Clipper in September 2013. The seven-night departures provides a chance for passengers to explore Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia — three countries that, while less visited, are gaining in popularity. Medieval towns and the Boka Fjord in Montenegro are also highlighted on the itinerary. The cruises depart on Sept. 14 and on Sept. 28, 2013, and call at Kotor, Montenegro; Dubrovnik, Hvar and Rovinj, Croatia, and Piran, Slovenia. Passengers receive a one-category cabin upgrade (i.e., book a Category 4 and sail in a Category 3) plus savings of 40% off the brochure rate. Cruise-only fares begin at $1,964, per person, double occupancy, including the upgrade, 40% savings and port charges. Sail on over to http://www.starclippers.com for more.
