Cruise Lines Tempt Guests With Black Friday Cruise Deals

Black Friday is still a few weeks away, but cruise lines are already getting in on the traditional consumer spending spree with a wide range of tempting offers, such as cruise fare discounts, onboard credits, special packages, and free amenities.

MSC Cruises

The cruise line is getting in on the action when it comes to Black Friday! Starting from November 11, MSC is having a flash sale with cruises from $159 on select voyages for MSC Divina, MSC Grandiosa, MSC Meraviglia, MSC Seascape, MSC Seaside, and MSC Seashore. Do keep an eye out, as there may be more incentives on the way from the cruise line!

Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean launched its “Beat the Clock” Black Friday sale, offering up to $1,000 in savings, free fares for the third and fourth guests in a cabin, and up to half off cruise extras.

Under the offers, each discount or benefit has a specific booking window. The free fare for third and fourth guests in a stateroom has a booking window through December 8, 2025 for cruises departing between November 8, 2025 and December 31, 2026.

And, cruisers can receive an onboard credit up to $900 for bookings made on November 13, 2025 for voyages departing on or after that date.

Certain holiday and summer season cruises, and Alaska cruisetours are excluded from these offers.

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian Cruise Line launched its biggest sale of the year with a 50% discount on all voyages — and that means all itineraries and all ships. The sale rollout coincided with the line’s announcement that it is bringing back its former Free at Sea package.

That value-added package features around $2,000 in savings that come in the form of a beverage and WiFi package, dining offers, and onboard credits that can be applied to shore excursions.

The deal is available on bookings made through December 4, 2025, and features a Bar Tab credit up to $400. Some Virgin cruises are priced at $99 per person, per night, a rate that the cruise line says is the lowest fare it has ever offered.

Margaritaville at Sea

Margaritaville at Sea unveiled its Black Friday sale that features a “Cruise + Bundle” package combining a beverage and WiFi plan for $199, which is a savings of 50% off the regular cost of the two plans. 

The Bundle plan covers the cruise fare, 15 alcoholic drinks per day and unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, plus unlimited WiFi for one device.

The sale also features discounts on the 2026 Paradise Pass, which provides unlimited cruises with special perks onboard Paradise, which sails year-round from Palm Beach, Florida.
