My Favorite Black Friday Travel Deals, 2025
It is that time of year again! Black Friday and Travel Tuesday deals are out. Most offers require booking with me by early December. To facilitate this, I will be online this weekend, offering travel consultations. You can see my schedule and set up some time here.
Want to see the full list of nearly all the promotions I have access to? Visit my Virtuoso promotions page. I recommend searching by Promotion Type on the left side of the screen.
Here are some of my favorite offers…
Hotels
Hyatt
Save up to 20% at participating hotels in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, or up to 15% at participating hotels in Asia Pacific. Valid on qualifying stays between November 13, 2025 and April 30, 2026.
Miraval
Need a wellness escape? Miraval is offering a $300 nightly resort credit when you book through me by December 8th, 2025 and travel by December 2026. Applies to Austin, Arizona, Berkshires, The Red Sea
Langham Hotels
30% off base rate. Book through me by December 2, 2025. Travel by March 31, 2026.
Auberge
Savings up to 40% across all room categories when you book through me.
Rocco Forte Hotels
Generous savings on early bird bookings for summer 2026. Don’t miss the 10 day booking window to enjoy up to 30% off across all Rocco Forte Hotels, from Edinburgh to Sicily. I am a top producer for Rocco Forte — they call me a Knight! — and can add perks and amenities to your stay.
Cruises
Note that this summary would be too long if I included all the terms and conditions and black out dates. Schedule some time with me to learn more!
60% off second guests and kids 12 and under sail free! Please note that the newest Royal Caribbean ships typically book up about a year in advance. So plan ahead, especially if you would like to book multiple cabins. The good thing is that deposits are low so you can always hold space as long as you are okay with losing your small deposit in case you change your mind.
Avalon River Cruises
Free Pre-Paid Gratuities on select 2026 Avalon cruises. I took my first Avalon river cruise earlier this year and I loved their more active and immersive excursions.
If you’ve been following me long enough, you know I am a HUGE fan of AmaWaterways. This is a more premium experience than river cruises with Viking, who squeeze 30 more people onto the same size boat and only serve you California wine while you’re on the Danube. Ama is offering complimentary land packages PLUS $250pp cruise savings.
I took my first Azamara cruise this summer and loved my itinerary — a deep dive in to Greece! (Read more here.) Azamara is great if you like a smaller ship and want to spend more time in port. They are having a great Black Friday deal featuring up to $4,000 OFF cruise fares and an additional $500 onboard credit per stateroom. Azamara sits above Celebrity but is more “premium” than “luxury.”
If you have been following me long enough, you know I am a huge fan of Explora Journeys and you are all missing out. Book through me for 40% off select sailings. Explora is a luxury cruise line but it is pricing really well right now because they are still new to the market.
Also offering 40% off select sailings. Plus a $500 shipboard credit.
I’m excited to take my first Silversea cruise ever very soon. All you can eat caviar?? I cannot wait. Enjoy up to $10,000 savings on our Expedition Voyages and up to $6,000 savings on our Classic Voyages, available on more than 950 sailings. Secure your suite with reduced deposits starting at 15% when you book by December 2, 2025.
This is another newer cruise line that is offering great pricing because their brand is still not as well known. Save up to $3,400 and get an additional $1,000 onboard credit on many cruises.
Interested in the Arctic, Galápagos, Antarctica? From now until December 3rd, select HX sailings are up to 40% off.
Scenic Group
Up to 35% Bonus Savings per suite.
Emerald Cruises
Up to 35% Extra Savings per suite.
Please note that these offers can change or end at any time. Terms & Conditions apply.
Remember, I will be online this weekend, offering travel consultations. You can see my schedule and set up some time here.
