2024 Wave Season Cruise Deals
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the cruise world - Wave Season! If you are looking to score a deal on your dream vacation for 2024 and beyond, now is the time.
Wave Season is when cruise lines have huge discounts on future cruises. During this time, lines and travel agents historically book the largest number of cruise cabins during this promotional period.
Promotions typically run for the first few months of a year (and sometimes even at the end of the previous year), with deals coming from a variety of cruise lines. In a sense, it's like the ‘Black Friday’ or ‘Cyber Monday’ for cruise deals, with a longer discount period.
