'Reduced rates and high on-board credit offers make the Mediterranean the best deal available this spring,' said Scott Knutson, vp sales and marketing for Costa Cruises North America. 'Throw in the current affordability of international airfare and how strong the dollar is against the euro, and Americans have a chance to get more bang for their buck than ever before on a Costa cruise.'
