It may seem strange to think of summer travel before the winter holidays. However, now is the ideal time to start planning your travel for 2025. This is especially true as cruise vacations are in their peak demand era. Travelers may find it difficult to secure a deal – and, in some cases, even a trip. While researching this story, I came across cabins sold in 2025 across several lines.

Many cruise lines are currently offering wave season cruise deals, and passengers looking to get a jump on vacation planning can snag significant savings.

Wave season is usually the first quarter of each new year when cold winter weather in many parts of the US has potential cruisers dreaming of warmer climates. Cruise lines have taken note, luring travelers with discounted fares and inclusions like free Wi-Fi, drinks and more.
