The Best 2024 Black Week Cruise Deals

Hurtigruten: 50% Discount on The Coastal Express

Until December 2, Hurtigruten grants a 50% discount on its most famous cruise, The Coastal Express. On this journey, a ship takes you from Bergen to Kirkenes and back within 12 days. The 6-day southbound journey is also discounted. You can get the discount for departures before May 2, 2025.

Bottom Line: While availabilities are thin and dwindling down fast, prices are excellent – and the discount holds up to the promised 50%. A high-value promotion.

Explora Journeys: 50% Discount on Luxury Cruises

Explora is a rather exclusive cruise line, with prices north of €400 per night per person being the usual. The good thing is that you are guaranteed a suite with ocean view when boarding their ships, and many perks are already included in the price. Our German site lists all discounted departures.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a more individual and luxury cruise experience, Explora’s current sale is a good opportunity to dip your toes without overpaying by a wide margin.

Norwegian Cruise Line: 50% Off More at Sea Packages

Norwegian’s More at Sea package is the successor of the Free at Sea package, that bundles prepaid services like all-inclusive packages, themed dining options or internet access. Until December 3, you can add it to your cruise with a discount of up to 53%.

Bottom line: Another good example of a high value deal, as it is possible to save €80 on shorter and more than €200 on cruises of two weeks or more when adding the More at Sea package. However, the discount only applies to new bookings.

MSC: Last Minute 7-Day Cruises Starting at €399 pp

Starting last week, MSC has heavily discounted some of its cruises, most of them departing in 2024. You can also find cruises in early 2025, like this 7-day Western Europe cruise from/to Hamburg. A list of discounted cruises can be found on our German site, most have them have to be booked by December 2:

Bottom line: While the short-term departure dates require a high amount of flexibility, it is still possible to strike a bargain. That being said, this is no exception for MSC cruises and has nothing to do with Thanksgiving or the week surrounding it.

A-ROSA: 10% Discount on All-Inclusive European River Cruises

European river cruise specialist A-ROSA has given out a 10% discount code for cruises in 2024 and 2025. The company offers two fares: Basic, including three daily meals, and Premium All Inclusive, including drinks between meals as well. The code only discounts the more expensive Premium All Inclusive fare, but can be combined with other discounts for 2024 departures.

Bottom line: The company granted up to 20% discount during promotions earlier this year, leading to their black week offer being kind of a letdown.

Princess Cruises: Additional On-Board-Credit (Up to $500) *EXPIRED*

For new bookings made before November 30, Princess Cruises offers up to $500 on-board-credit per cabin. The credit depends on the number of guests (minimum of $25 per guest for a 1-3 day cruise) and goes up to $250 per guest for 16+ day cruises.

Bottom line: Free additional on-board-credit is always better than no additional credit. While the offer is solid, Princes Cruises runs similar promotions regularly.
