What’s the big deal? For cruisers and those of us looking for new experiences, this time of year is like Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Amazon Prime Day all rolled into one. January to March (aka right now) is the best time to book a cruise. Why? It’s when cruise lines run their biggest sales of the year and even toss in major perks (think onboard credits, prepaid tips, unlimited drinks and shore excursions) on top of already-reduced hot fares. 

In the spirit of our two favorite things — seeing the world, and doing so at a steal — we’ve done the legwork for you and found all the best cruise offers out there right now. Whether you want to see castles and UNESCO World Heritage sites on the Danube or set sail in the South Pacific, we’ve found a cruise that’s ready to welcome you and your loved ones on board.
