This Cruise Line’s Early Black Friday Sale Has Up to 75% Off a Second Guest — When to Book

Thanksgiving may be weeks away, but Celebrity Cruises is celebrating Black Friday early with big savings on cruise guests.

As part of its early Black Friday deal, travelers can save up to 75 percent off a second guest in their stateroom, Celebrity shared with Travel + Leisure. To take advantage of the deal, travelers must book by Dec. 9.

“With our 2026-2027 sailings now open for booking, it’s a great time for travelers to indulge their sense of curiosity with an unforgettable vacation packed with value,” Michael Scheiner, Celebrity Cruises’ chief marketing and product officer, told T+L. “Celebrity Cruises offers elevated sailing experiences in all regions of the world, with more than 600 sailings to over 280 destinations in over 70 countries.”

A benefit of the sale is the ability to plan in advance since it is valid on sailings departing through May 10, 2027. However, the sale is not valid on Galapagos sailings or Alaska Cruisetours, and is not available to use on the company’s Celebrity Summit ship from May 9, 2025, through Sept. 5, 2025.

Book a voyage on the 3,046-guest Celebrity Reflection, which sails to the Caribbean, or book a trip on the newest Celebrity Ascent ship, a more than 3,200-guest ship, which the company debuted last year. The Ascent is currently sailing from Fort Lauderdale with plans to head to Europe for the summer.

Travelers can also save on a trip with the Celebrity Xcel, which the cruise line plans to launch in November 2025.

In total, Celebrity —  one of T+L readers’ favorite large-ship ocean cruise lines for 2024 — operates a fleet of 16 ships and offers everything from casinos and Broadway-style shows to its exclusive hideaway for suite guests, The Retreat.

Travelers who sail with Celebrity can take advantage of status matching with other Royal Caribbean Group cruise lines. Passengers earn status by sailing multiple nights and receive benefits like discounts on alcohol, Internet packages, and more. Members of Celebrity’s Blue Chip Club program can also receive reciprocal benefits with Hard Rock International.
