One of my favorite cruise companies, Windstar Cruises, offers great value with 2-for-1 fares on select winter Costa Rica and Panama Canal voyages on new bookings made now through August 14, 2010. The three-ship fleet of luxury yachts explore hidden harbors and secluded coves where you won’t run into thousands of people disembarking from mass market behemoths.
