It’s that time of year for cruise booking, as Wave Season brings a tide of limited-time savings, value-added perks and upgrade opportunities that make planning your client’s vacations easier than ever.
Elevated Experiences
Swan Hellenic has rolled out Elevated Expeditions, a limited-time promotion offering savings of up to $2,000 per guest on global voyages booked from Dec. 9 through the end of February. The program covers the 2026–2027 season and applies to a collection of itineraries ranging from six to 32 nights. Your clients can receive up to $1,500 in fare reductions, $500 in onboard credit, complimentary Wi-Fi upgrades and added incentives for groups of eight or more.
Group reservations qualify for extra credits and customizable amenity options, while travel agencies receive a bonus commission of up to $500 per booking. Elevated Expeditions includes 78 sailings to destinations across the Arctic and Antarctica, as well as Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. Your clients can select from three boutique expedition ships—the SH Minerva, SH Vega and SH Diana—all classified for polar travel. Sailings depart between Mar. 5, 2026, and Oct. 28, 2027, with no limits on the number of itineraries that can be reserved consecutively.

Savings Inclusive
Windstar Cruises’ Beyond Inclusive promotion runs from Dec. 17, 2025, through Mar. 31, 2026, and applies to select voyages departing through Mar. 31, 2027. Eligible sailings include a complimentary upgrade to the all-inclusive package, which covers select beverages, Wi-Fi, and gratuities, along with a pre-cruise hotel night (where available), hotel-to-yacht transfer and up to $1,000 in onboard credit per person. The deal loads automatically without a promo code.
The program adds value for your clients through bundled inclusions, a wide booking window and hundreds of global departures. Covered regions include Europe with late-fall and early-spring Mediterranean sailings; Tahiti, where Windstar has nearly 40 years of operations; Costa Rica and the Panama Canal, offering daylight canal transits; Southeast Asia routes connecting Bangkok and Halong Bay; and Caribbean and Latin American itineraries along less-traveled coastlines.
Windstar Cruises’ growth continues with its two new Star Class ships—Star Seeker launching Dec. 28, 2025, and Star Explorer following one year later—each featuring new suite categories and updated design options.
