Traditionally, Black Friday and Cyber Monday allow shoppers to save money on things from brand-new electronics to vacations! While many Black Friday cruise sales began well before Thanksgiving, many have continued after, too.
Many travel companies will extend deals to the Tuesday after, as that day is commonly referred to as "Travel Tuesday." Airlines, hotels, and even cruise lines tend to have deals to entice customers to book with them.
Discounts for cruises range from lower cruise fares to onboard credit, cheaper deposits, free add-ons, and more.
Here are the best Cyber Monday cruise deals of 2023.
Celebrity Cruises
If you book a sailing during Celebrity Cruises' Cyber Monday sale, you will find discounts of up to 75% off second guests. You'll also save up to $650 per stateroom. The catch is that these offers only apply to non-refundable deposits.
If you would rather book with a refundable deposit, you aren't out of luck. Celebrity will still discount the second guest in the stateroom by up to 50%.
The sailing must be booked by November 28, 2023 and applies to select voyages that are 3+ nights through April 30, 2026. No promo code is required.
This offer excludes all cruises to the Galapagos and Alaska Cruisetours.
Pre-cruise add-ons are also on sale through Celebrity Cruises' Cruise Planner. Things like shore excursions, drink packages, and more are discounted by up to 50%.
