Deal of the Week: RSVP's Mediterranean Cruise

RSVP is heading back to Europe next summer for the first time in four years on the new state-of-the-art ms Nieuw Amsterdam by Holland America.

There are only 2,000 passengers on this ship. While it seems funny to say "only 2,000" since that would have been an unheard of number even just several years ago, in today's cruise terms where 6,000 are gathering for Atlantis' sold-out 20th Anniversary Allure of the Seas cruise, it's actually a pleasant, manageable number of fellow passengers for many cruise lovers.

Often the lowest rates (starting at $1,269 per person for this cruise) and choicest cabins are scooped up first so it may pay to plan now.
