In the past, you may have preferred all-inclusive resorts, excursions throughout Europe, or a tour package operator that takes care of every trip detail. Before planning your trip this year, consider less-expensive alternatives and don't be afraid to leave your comfort zone. Never taken a cruise before? SmarterTravel's sister site Cruise Critic has a wide variety of deals and advice to help you find a sailing that's right for you. Or, follow the deals to a less-expensive locale rather than choosing your destination first.
If you usually rely on a tour operator to handle everything, instead reserve an afternoon and dig into the details of a trip yourself. While it may lack the convenience of having everything planned for you, you'll likely save a bundle by booking your transportation and accommodations on your own. Many providers now offer customer service options, too, so you won't be left hanging should anything go awry.
