The Best Black Friday Luxury Cruise Deals of 2026
If you've been thinking about a cruise, Black Friday is one of the times I actually pay attention.
These are the luxury cruise deals I'd look at this year. They all end at different times, so I've put the book-by date on each one.
Explora Journeys
Up to 40% off when you pay in full, or 30% off with a 5% deposit, across all suites. The pay-in-full fare is non-refundable, with 100% cancellation fees. Book by December 1.
Here's my Explora II review if you want to know what it's like.
Regent Seven Seas
Up to 40% off select suites, plus $500 shipboard credit per suite. Book by November 16. This one is for US and Canada residents.
Scenic and Emerald
Up to 40% off select river cruises and yacht voyages. Regions include Europe's rivers, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Caribbean. The sale ends November 29.
Windstar
A complimentary all-inclusive package and a reduced deposit of $300 per stateroom on voyages sailing through 2027. Book by November 17.
Aqua Expeditions
15-30% off select Design Suites and Cabins with the early bird offer. Book by December 31. It's not available for solo travelers, and it excludes Raja Ampat and Christmas and New Year's sailings.
How to Pick the Right One
The biggest percentage isn't always the best deal. It depends on the itinerary, the suite and what's already included in the fare.
Why Book Cruise Deals Through Me
Sale fares change, and they usually apply only to select sailings or suites. I can check which ones qualify, compare them for you, and add any perks available on top.
The Fine Print
These offers have their own terms and availability, and they can change. I'll confirm the details for your sailing before you book.
