Wave Season 〰️

WHAT IS WAVE SEASON?

Wave Season is the cruise industry’s biggest annual sale period. During this window, cruise lines and resorts roll out their most compelling offers of the year: onboard credits, cabin upgrades, reduced deposits, complimentary drink packages, prepaid gratuities, and even free airfare on select sailings.

Wave Season traditionally runs from January through March, though many lines extend deals into early April. The best inventory goes quickly, so earlier booking typically means better cabin selection and more options.

Beyond the exceptional value, booking during Wave Season means you’re planning with the widest selection of 2026 and 2027 sailings available. Whether you’re dreaming of Alaska’s glaciers this summer, a Mediterranean escape in fall, or getting ahead on holiday travel for a multigenerational family reunion, now is the moment to secure your spot.
