What is Wave Season and Why Should You Care About Travel Specials?
Wave season traditionally runs from January through March and is known as the luxury travel industry’s “Black Friday” of booking. During this time, cruise lines, tour operators, and premium destinations launch their best travel specials and exclusive deals to lock in bookings for the coming years. But wave season is more than just discounts. With my expertise as a CTA-certified travel advisor, I offer clients priority access to the most desirable cabins, flexible deposits, tailored experiences, and exclusive offers that you simply won’t find searching online or through typical travel agencies.
Exclusive Luxury Cruise Deals During Wave Season
Wave season is prime time for booking luxury cruises with premium lines like Virgin Voyages, Silversea, Disney Cruise Line, and intimate river cruises such as those by Avalon. Expect unbeatable travel specials including reduced deposits, cabin upgrades, onboard credits, and private shore excursions designed for the discerning traveler. For example, Virgin Voyages offers stackable perks where you can combine your “My Next Virgin Voyage” credit with wave season deals to double your onboard benefits, including bar tabs and discounts on the second passenger.
Curated Luxury Land Tours with Special Wave Season Offers
Prefer your luxury on land? Tour providers like Globus and Collette offer exceptional travel specials during wave season that include no single supplements, up to $1,000 off select trips, airfare credits, and complimentary upgrades. Whether you’re exploring Europe’s tulip-lined canals or savoring authentic local cuisine, these guided luxury tours provide comfort and authenticity without the planning stress. As a member of Signature Consortia, I can also offer exclusive $250 credits on Collette tours to my clients, enhancing the value of these already enticing wave season packages.
Disney, Universal & New Theme Park Travel Specials
Disney isn’t just Walt Disney World in Orlando anymore. Wave season is the perfect time to book exclusive deals for Disneyland’s 70th celebrations in California, the family-friendly Aulani Resort in Hawaii, Adventures by Disney guided luxury trips worldwide, and Disney Cruise Line’s enchanting voyages. In addition, Universal Studios’ multi-park thrills and the upcoming kid-friendly theme park near Dallas offer fresh family travel opportunities—both with exclusive wave season offers available through certified travel advisors like me who have on-site training and insider access to early booking perks. Recently, I booked a family for a split stay at Universal Orlando, Walt Disney World, and a Disney cruise—all secured under wave season’s lowered deposits and locked-in pricing for less than $1,000 down. That kind of peace of mind and savings is golden.
