Royal Caribbean has launched its biggest-ever Cyber Season sale, offering up to $1,000 off select cruises — and Trip.com is flashing domestic flights from $29 today, Tuesday, November 10, as the travel Black Friday season starts weeks early.
Royal Caribbean’s Cyber Season sale launched on November 6 and runs through December 7, 2026, according to TravelPulse, which published its report on November 4, 2026, and Travel Pursuit, which published on November 9. The promotion includes up to $1,000 off select cruise fares in the United States — up to £755 off on selected cruises in the United Kingdom — plus free cruise fares for third and fourth guests sharing a stateroom, onboard credit starting at $150, and up to 50 percent off onboard extras, including beverage packages, internet access and shore excursions. The deals apply to qualifying purchases made during the sale period and cover select sailings in the Caribbean, Alaska and Europe.
The booking window is longer than the headline sale. A travel-agent promotion page published on November 3 lists the core offers as bookable from November 3 to December 10, 2026: buy one guest, get the second guest 60 percent off, with sailings departing on or after November 4; third and fourth guests sail free on sailings of three nights or longer departing between November 4, 2026, and August 20, 2027; and children aged 12 and under sail free on sailings of three nights or longer. Holiday, spring break, summer and other peak sailings are excluded, and Thanksgiving sailings departing November 19 to 27, 2026, are excluded from the kids-sail-free and free-third-and-fourth-guest offers.

The new ships in the sale
The promotion includes sailings aboard several of the cruise line’s newest ships, according to TravelPulse, including Legend of the Seas, which makes its US debut from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 8, and Star of the Seas and Utopia of the Seas, sailing from Port Canaveral, as well as Icon of the Seas and Wonder of the Seas, sailing from Miami. Travel Pursuit adds Freedom of the Seas, sailing from Southampton in 2027, and notes that the offers cover holidays across the fleet, from Europe and the Caribbean to Asia, Australia and Alaska, with limited-time flash deals throughout the sale period.
Royal Caribbean is also offering two bonus points promotions for its Royal ONE Visa Signature credit cards from November 4 through December 2, according to TravelPulse. A separate Royal Caribbean terms page confirms a Cyber Bonus of up to $150 onboard credit for bookings made November 6 to 9, and a Mega Cyber Sale starting at $299 — although the November 6 to 9 window has now passed, and shoppers should check the live terms before booking.
Trip.com’s $29 flash sale today
The second half of today’s travel story is flights. Trip.com’s November Mega Sale brings a month of travel bargains across 11.11 and Black Friday, according to a press release issued on November 9, 2026, and reported by AAP. The sale features two major flash sale days on November 10 and 11, with domestic flights from just $29, Bali flights from $109, four-star Bali hotels from $19 a night, and $1 eSIMs. More deals follow on November 27 for Black Friday.
The flight offers drop throughout the day on November 10, according to the release, with deals at 12 p.m. Australian Eastern Daylight Time including domestic flights from $29, international flights to Bali from $109, Ho Chi Minh City from $149, a one-way flight to Guangzhou from $109 with China Southern Airlines, and one-way flights from Sydney or Melbourne to Shanghai or Chengdu from $189. Flight promo codes offer up to 50 percent off, capped at $100, and airline coupons offer up to $200 off with participating airlines, including Jetstar, Virgin Australia, Qantas, Sichuan Airlines, Fiji Airways, Singapore Airlines and Philippine Airlines. A second report, published on November 9, confirms the same figures and adds round-trip flights from Sydney to New York from $885 and to London from $1,051. The hotel flash sale follows tomorrow, November 11, at 12 p.m. AEDT, offering up to 50 percent off accommodation.
For travellers, the two sales are different in kind: Royal Caribbean’s is a month-long booking window with exclusions that matter, while Trip.com’s is a flash sale, first-come, first-served, with limited quantities. Both reward the same habit — checking the terms, the exclusions and the live price before committing, because the headline saving is only a bargain on a sailing or a flight the traveller actually wants.
