I have a bit of everything for you this week — a Christmas cruise still available at a surprisingly low price and great prices for seven days in the sunshine and two West Coast trips that offer time for winery visits. Then, finally, there’s time in Paris on a river ship.
Check with a cruise travel agent who may be able to do better.
