The 2026 Holiday Sale Calendar
| Day | Date | What cruise shoppers see |
|---|---|---|
| Early to mid November | Before Thanksgiving | Early-access and “pre-Black Friday” offers from some lines |
| Thanksgiving | Thursday, November 26 | Offers announced or previewed |
| Black Friday | Friday, November 27 | Many promotions officially start or step up |
| Weekend | November 28–29 | Offers continue; sites can be busy |
| Cyber Monday | Monday, November 30 | The headline day for online offers |
| Giving Tuesday and beyond | December 1 onward | Some lines extend into a cyber week or beyond |
Exact start and end dates are set by each line and announced close to the time, so treat the pattern as a guide rather than a promise.
How to Use the Dates
- Before mid-November, price two or three sailings you like, so you have a regular-fare benchmark.
- Sign up only for emails from lines and advisors you trust; you will know the real senders.
- Decide your dates, cabin type and budget before the sale starts; sales reward decisive shoppers.
- When the offers land, compare against your benchmark, not against a “was” price on a banner.
- Watch the book-by date and the deposit terms, not just the discount.

Cyber Monday Date Questions
When is Cyber Monday 2026?
Monday, November 30, 2026 — the Monday after Thanksgiving, which falls on Thursday, November 26.
When do cruise lines start their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales?
Often before Thanksgiving. Lines have launched early promotions in the first half of November in past years, and some run through the first days of December.
Is Cyber Monday the last chance for a deal?
No. Wave Season, the big promotional period from roughly January to March, follows soon after, and individual lines run sales through the year.
Why Late November Works for Cruise Shoppers
Late November is a natural time for cruise lines to sell. Many travelers are planning the next year’s vacations over the holidays, and lines want to fill the following spring and summer early. That is why cyber offers tend to focus on the next year’s sailings. If you are hoping for a cruise in 2027, Cyber Monday 2026 is one of your first good chances to compare offers; Wave Season in early 2027 is the next.
Shopping from outside the U.S.? Cyber Monday is tied to the American Thanksgiving weekend, but many lines run their promotions in other markets on the same dates or close to them. Check the line’s site for your country.
