JLobdell Posted November 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Do the river cruise companies typically have Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals? I’m looking at doing an Ama cruise in Oct 2024 and even with the early bird discount it seems more expensive than I remember the last time I cruised. Also the offered insurance seems expensive too. 13% of total cost… so adding airfare through Ama only increases the insurance cost. I’ll search to see if there is another thread with insurance alternatives. Just trying to make this voyage as affordable as possible. Thanks!

CastleCritic Posted November 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Looking through my email they did not have a sale at that time last year. EVERYTHING is more expensive than we remember at this point. Also keep in mind that the insurance covers the flights when you book it through them, hence why its more expensive.

JLobdell Posted November 13, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Thanks. I tried to scroll back through some of the cruise companies social media accounts and didn’t see anything Black Friday deals for river cruises either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TikiIslandGirl Posted November 20, 2023 #10 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Has anyone booked any good deals during Uniworld's 12 days of Christmas promotions in previous years? Just wondering if it is worth the wait or if I find a good deal go ahead and book with another company. I'm not loyal to any cruise line.

Fran Just looked at the first one. 50% of a specific Grand European sailing Bucharest to Amsterdam. Bootable to the end of the promotion period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran I contacted a TA about some good pricing for Emerald a few weeks ago but to get those prices it’s a 100% payment. It gives me pause for full payment that far in advance.
