Each week, seasoned travel expert Ian McIntosh shares the hottest offers for savvy explorers—and this week, it’s all about limited-time savings. While the early-season rush is winding down, some standout deals are still on the table, including Norwegian Cruise Line’s whopping 50% discount on all cruises and a generous airfare credit. Malaysia Airlines also offers 15% off flights and a suite of exclusive perks. And for the travel trade, Coral Expeditions invites industry insiders to explore remote destinations in understated luxury. Act quickly—these offers won’t last long, and as always, a good travel agent and travel insurance are your best travel companions.
Not much is happening this week – most early season travel deals end on March 31.
NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE’s current offer is 50% off all cruises plus an airfare credit. Be wary, though – premium cabins are rarely involved in these specials.
MALAYSIA AIRLINES has released an online-only special – 15% off flights plus exclusive perks such as complimentary rebooking, free refunds, customised bookings and child discounts. The deal ends on April 2.
TRAVEL TRADE ONLY: Looking for a cruise experience with a difference? Coral Expeditions is Australian-owned and renowned for its exclusive, intimate expedition cruises to destinations including Australia, the islands of Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, New Guinea, and Micronesia.

Remember, conditions always apply to these specials. Check airline prices from your capital city. I recommend you use a travel agent, and travel insurance is essential. Finally, I make mistakes like all of us. Check websites to confirm details.
