This year, Black Friday falls on November 27, followed by Cyber Monday on November 30 and Travel Tuesday on December 1. For guests who sign up in advance, the savings start well before then. Here’s how the season comes together:<\/p>\n
During Cyber Week, offers can shift from one day to the next, and the most popular itineraries and staterooms are often the first to go. Signing up early is the simplest way to make sure you have first choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>
Getting early access is simple, and you don’t need an account or an existing booking. Enter your email address on our sign-up page<\/a>, and we’ll let you know the moment early access opens on November 11. From there, you can browse itineraries, compare staterooms and book online, or call one of our Personal Cruise Consultants for help.<\/p>\n Early access means you shop before the sale opens to the public. You’ll have first pick of sailing dates, Verandah staterooms and suites, which makes the biggest difference on popular summer voyages.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Ready to cruise at a great value? Sign up<\/a> for Black Friday early access.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Booking in late fall puts you ahead of the coming year. Summer in Alaska and Europe is our most requested season, and the best stateroom categories and land and sea cruisetour dates fill first. When you shop during Black Friday, you have more options.<\/p>\n It’s also easier on the budget. A reduced deposit spreads the cost of a larger trip over the months ahead, which helps when you’re planning one vacation for grandparents, parents and grandchildren. Everyone shares one itinerary and has the same trip to look forward to.<\/p>\n A cruise also makes a meaningful holiday gift. Instead of another package under the tree, you can give the people you love a voyage they’ll be counting down to all year.<\/p>\n<\/div> Our Black Friday sale covers itineraries around the world, from the Inside Passage to the Mediterranean. If you already have a destination in mind, here’s why these three regions deserve a closer look.<\/p>\n<\/div> We’ve sailed Alaska for 80 years, and that experience shapes every itinerary. Our Glacier Guarantee means glacier viewing is part of every Alaska cruise we offer. In Glacier Bay, National Park Service rangers come aboard to share the history and wildlife of the park as you move slowly past towering walls of ice.<\/p>\n If you’d like to go deeper, a land and sea cruisetour combines your voyage with time in Denali National Park and the Yukon. Many routes include a stay at our own Holland America Denali Lodge. Explore our Alaska and Yukon cruisetours<\/a> to compare routes. Each season has a limited number of cruisetour departures, so they’re an ideal choice for early access shoppers.<\/p>\n<\/div> Leave the winter coat at home and trade it for warm trade winds and turquoise water. Look for itineraries that visit RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay\u2122, our private island in the Bahamas, where you can swim with stingrays, ride horses along the shore or simply settle into a beach chair with a book.<\/p>\n Our mid-sized ships set a relaxed pace, with plenty of quiet spaces to unwind between ports. Shorter Caribbean sailings are also an easy introduction for first-time guests.<\/p>\n<\/div> If you’ve been putting off that Europe trip for years, Black Friday is the right time to book it. Sail among Norway’s fjords, explore Iceland’s dramatic coastline, or spend long Mediterranean days wandering ancient streets and stopping for lunch at a seaside caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n We sail Europe year-round beginning in 2027, opening the door to experiences summer travelers might miss, including the chance to shop and dine at a Christmas market or witness the Northern Lights.Our shore excursions take you beyond the photo stops, with experiences like wine tasting on Santorini and guided walks through Rome’s historic landmarks. Summer Europe voyages book early, so locking in your preferred itinerary during the sale is a real advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div> A little preparation turns a good deal into a great trip. Before early access opens, take these steps:<\/p>\n For more than 150 years, Holland America<\/a> has focused on travel that feels refined, unhurried and personal. Our mid-sized ships leave room for quiet conversation, attentive service and itineraries planned around the destinations, so you have time to experience each port rather than rush through it.<\/p>\n We also believe you should know what you’re paying for. The Have It All Premium Cruise Package<\/a> includes drinks, specialty dining and Wi-Fi in one upfront price, so there are fewer surprises once you’re on board.<\/p>\n<\/div> Black Friday is one of the best times of year to plan next year’s cruise, and early access gives you first choice of the itineraries and staterooms that matter most to you. Sign up through November 10 so you’re ready to book when early access opens November 11!<\/p>\n<\/div> The voyages and staterooms in highest demand go to early access subscribers first. Signing up takes less than a minute, so add your name before November 9.<\/p>\nWhy Black Friday Is a Smart Time to Book a Cruise<\/h2><\/div>
