Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals go beyond clothing, electronics, and toys. Just like retailers, you can find tons of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales within the travel industry. Cruise lines, in particular, are known for their limited-time offers.
Black Friday takes place the day after Thanksgiving. This year, that’s November 28. Cyber Monday follows a few days later, on December 1.
With less time to shop between Black Friday and Christmas, retailers and travel companies are rolling out early deals. For travelers, it’s the perfect opportunity to lock in 2026 or 2027 vacation plans for less.
We will update this page as cruise lines continue to roll out their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals for 2025, so check back often to see if your favorite cruise line is offering a great bargain.

Royal Caribbean International
Royal Caribbean's Black Friday sale runs from November 7 through December 8, 2025. During the month-long event, guests can expect exciting first-time promotions and flash deals, ranging from buy-one-get-one 60% off to complimentary cruise fares for third and fourth guests and kids sail free.
Discounts are available on over 20 ships, including Star of the Seas, Utopia of the Seas, and Icon of the Seas, sailing to the Caribbean, Europe, and Alaska.
The price for short getaway sailings (i.e., 2 to 4-night cruises) starts as low as $249 per person. Examples include Baja California voyages on Quantum of the Seas from California or Bahamian cruises on Wonder of the Seas from Miami, Florida.
Royal Caribbean is also offering great pre-cruise sales, allowing cruisers to save up to 50% off onboard extras (i.e., drink and internet packages, excursions, and more). In fact, many loyal Crown & Anchor Society fans swear that Black Friday is the best time to buy add-ons.
This year, Royal Caribbean is upping the excitement with new bundles to help make it easier to plan and save on the cruise experience.
The "All-In Package" is a Black Friday exclusive and includes a Deluxe Beverage Package, unlimited specialty dining, and Wi-Fi for as low as $109 per person, per day.
For cruisers with Nassau as a stop on the itinerary, the "All-In Package" will also include access to the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, starting at $139 per person, per day.
Finally, Royal Caribbean is offering a special offer on its Royal Caribbean Visa Signature® credit card, which started on October 28, 2025.
Those who apply and make $1,500 in eligible purchases within the first 90 days of account opening will receive 35,000 bonus points, which can be redeemed for $350 onboard credit, stateroom upgrades, and more.
"For Black Friday 2025, we’ve gone all out to give vacation shoppers the best deals and biggest values they will see all year," said Kara Wallace, CMO, Royal Caribbean.
"And we’re not waiting until after Thanksgiving — our customers will score [never-before-seen] savings as soon as we kick off on November 7. There’s no better time to score a quick getaway to end the year or check your 2026 vacation off your list."
