Why It’s a Deal According to a recent search on Kayak, the lowest round-trip fares between New York and Málaga are about $868 with taxes for travel in early November (multiple airlines). Add to that about $396 per person, including taxes, for a four-night cruise from Málaga with the same itinerary, and $226 per person, including hotel taxes, for three nights at Hotel TRYP Alameda, and you’d be paying a total of $1,490 if booking the components of this package separately. For $83 more, this TourCrafters’ package covers the international airfare, a four-night all-inclusive cruise, three nights’ hotel, plus daily hotel breakfast, round-trip airport-port-hotel transfers, sightseeing bus tickets, complimentary wine and tapas, fuel surcharges, and all hotel taxes and fees.
More Optional activities include excursions to Gibraltar ($70 per person), Ronda ($60 per person), Granada ($120 per person), Sintra and Cascais ($42 per person), and Tétouan ($66 per person). A two-night extension in Málaga starts from $129 per person. Upgrade your package to four nights in an outside cabin aboard the Empress and three nights at the Petit Palace Plaza Malaga for an additional $327 per person.
