About Wave Season
The cruise industry's "Wave Season," runs between January and March, when the major cruise line brands promote their very best cruise deals for the new year. Many advertise some great offers during wave season, and if you're a smart cruise shopper, you should take advantage of these offers to get a great deal on your next cruise vacation.

Why Wave Season?
Historically, sales patterns indicate January through March are when most cruise travelers book their vacation.  Winter's chilly and snowy weather get cruise travelers dreaming about warm, Caribbean island getaways, or Summer's Europe and Alaska adventures. So, bookings reach peak velocity. To capitalize on this cruise booking state of mind, Cruise Direct Online offer extra incentives -- typically free perks like onboard spending credits, reduced deposits, stateroom upgrades and reduced cruise fares, as time has proven that these type of incentives are the driving force that get cruise travelers to book those cruises now.
