Looking for great cruise deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday? You’re in luck. It’s the biggest shopping period of the year and cruise lines are in on the action, helping you to score some nice offers.
Before we dive into this year’s deals, there is one thing to know. In our opinion, historically the Black Friday cruise deals can vary widely by line. Some cruise lines pull out all the stops and offer incredible deals that go above and beyond. Others offer little discounts or sales that are similar to what’s regularly offered.
You won’t go wrong by booking one of the deals, but at the same time, don’t expect these to be once-in-a-lifetime offers. If now is not the best time for you to book, you can usually expect similar offers down the road.
One other thing to know — this year’s Black Friday deals seem to get getting started earlier than ever. In fact, even weeks before the actual day most major lines already have deals announced. So if you’re ready to buy, there’s no need to wait until after Thanksgiving.
Below, we’ve rounded up all the deals we could find for the major cruise lines. For cruise lines that have yet to announce their deals, we’ve included last year’s offer to give you an idea of what to expect.
As more sales roll out, we will continue to update this page, so check back often.

Celebrity Cruises (Updated 2025 Offer)
In a Black Friday sale this year, Celebrity is offering up to 75% off the second guest cruise fare. In addition, third and fourth guests sail free. Plus, passengers can save up to $1,000 per room.
The savings will depend on your room type and length of sailing. Passengers in inside or oceanview rooms get $125 in savings per stateroom on 3-5 night cruises and $200 for 6+ night trips. Veranda, Concierge Class or AquaClass cabins get $250 for 3-5 night cruises and $400 for longer trips. Those staying in suites receive $500 and $1,000 in savings per stateroom, depending on trip length.
Want a superb deal? We found a 4-night cruise aboard Celebrity Reflection sailing to Key West and Bimini from Fort Lauderdale for only $169 per person.
Seabourn (Updated 2025 Offer)
Luxury cruise line Seabourn offers what it dubs its “Black Friday Sail.”
The Black Friday Sail for 2025 includes a “two category veranda suite upgrade” and up to $2,000 in shipboard credit on selected cruises.
One thing to know is that Seabourn includes lots with the cruise fare, including alcohol, restaurants, wi-fi, gratuities, and even caviar. That means the price you pay is largely the cost for the entire vacation. Seabourn’s offer runs through December 2.
Norwegian Cruise Line (Updated 2025 Offer)
Each year we think Norwegian offers one of the top Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals we’ve found. This year looks to be no different.
First, the offer includes 50% off all cruises. In addition, the cruise line is offering up its “Free at Sea” offer with up to six perks available. With this sale, you can have all of the following:
- Free airfare for Second Guest
- Unlimited Open Bar (A fee still applies)
- Specialty Dining (A fee still applies)
- Shore Excursion Credit
- Wi-Fi
- Kids Sail Free
In addition, the cruise line is offering up to $1,000 onboard credit on all staterooms.
Now for the fine print. First, you will be responsible for a charge on things like the drink package and specialty dining (you can choose to opt out of these perks if you don’t want them).
On that drink package you’ll still have to pay an extra charge ($28.50 per person, per day), though significantly less than the regular cost. You’ll also have to pay a charge on the dining package ($20 per meal).
As well, things like wi-fi are not unlimited, and the shore excursion offer is limited to a $50 credit per excursion for the first guest per port.
Carnival Cruise Lines (Updated 2025 Offer)
Carnival is offering a Black Friday sale right now that includes up to 55% off cruise rates and 50% off of deposits.
We found some deals for cruises starting under $200 per person with taxes and fees included.
Royal Caribbean (Updated 2025 Offer)
Heading into the holiday, Royal Caribbean is offering a Black Friday sale with up to $1,000 off cruises, as well as third and fourth passengers sail free.
The savings amount varies based on your room type and trip length. To get the maximum amount, you’ll need to purchase a suite on a sailing of 6+ nights. The lowest amount of savings is $125 per stateroom for interior or oceanview cabins on trips of five days or fewer.
One thing to keep in mind is that Royal Caribbean has some terms on its free 3/4th guests offer. We noticed that in the fine print it excludes times like Spring Break, Christmas holidays, and many summer sailings. In other words, many of the times when kids are out of school, they will still see a fare charge.
Note: Royal Caribbean also typically offers significant discounts for shore excursions during Black Friday. If you already have a cruise booked, check your cruise planner for discounts of up to 50% off things like waterpark admission.
MSC Cruises (Updated 2025 Offer)
MSC may not be as well-known in the U.S. despite being one of the largest lines in the world, but it is a growing presence in North America. And for good reason. The cruise line offers some amazingly priced cruises, even without deals.
Right now the cruise line is offering a Black Friday Sale with some nice perks.
You can get this deal and sail on some trips for as little as $199 per person. In addition, you can get up to $1,000 in onboard credit, plus kids sail free.
When we searched, we even found some four night cruises for as little as $169 per person!
Princess Cruises (Updated 2025 Offer)
Princess is offering its “Black Friday Balcony Sale” for cruises, with the sale running through the holiday. Here the cruise line is offering up to 50% off cruises and up to $800 in instant savings. As a bonus, Princess is also offering third and fourth passengers sailing free.
The fine print states the instant savings up to $800 per stateroom vary based on room type and trip length. In general, just know that the higher-end your room is and the longer your cruise length, the more you’ll receive in instance savings. Suites on cruises of 17+ days receive the $800 amount. Other rooms receive less.
Holland America (Updated 2025 Offer)
Running through November 30, Holland America’s Black Friday offer is highly attractive for those who don’t like being nickeled and dimed on their cruise.
Those booking this deal can receive up to 30% off of cruise fares. In addition, the cruise line is offering free prepaid gratuities. There are also 50% reduced deposits, and free fares for third and fourth guests.
Virgin Voyages (Updated 2025 Offer)
Virgin Voyages is offering up a Black Friday offer that’s enticing from the adults-only cruise line.
Virgin is providing a sale that’s 80% off of a second passenger and up to $500 worth of free drinks. (The cruise line doesn’t have a drink package, but instead uses a “Bar Tab” that acts as funds for drinks.)
Cruises of 4-5 nights get $75 in Bar Tab per cabin when booking a Sea Terrance room. That bumps to $125 for a suite. Cruises of 6-9 nights get $200/$350, respectively. Trips of 10+ nights see $300/$500.
And remember, Virgin Voyages offers all food, along with wi-fi, and more in their fare, making this offer even more attractive.
In addition, the cruise line has a second sale offering select cruises for $99 per person, per night.
