The "Welcome Aboard" Offer Directory
To make things easy, we’ve categorized these offers by travel style. From family-friendly fun to adults-only luxury, here is what is on the table from March 4–13.
Popular & Family Favorites
These lines are the gold standard for multi-generational travel, high-energy entertainment, and incredible value.
Carnival
Royal Caribbean
Disney Cruise Line
MSC Cruises
Modern Luxury & Premium Experiences
If you are looking for elevated dining, sophisticated decor, and a slightly more relaxed pace, these offers are designed for you.
Celebrity Cruises
Holland America Line
Princess Cruises
Adult-Only & All-Inclusive Style
For those who want something a little different, either a land-based resort or a cruise that breaks all the traditional rules.
Virgin Voyages

Understanding Onboard Credit (OBC)
You’ll see "OBC" or "Onboard Credit" mentioned in almost every offer. If you are new to cruising, think of this as a gift card waiting for you on the ship. You can use it for:
Specialty Dining: Treat yourself to a world-class steakhouse or sushi bar.
Shore Excursions: Go ziplining in St. Lucia or whale watching in Juneau.
The Spa: Because everyone deserves a massage while crossing the ocean.
Drinks & Souvenirs: That "Sail Away" cocktail tastes a lot better when it’s covered by your Expedia Extra!
Why Book Between March 4 and March 13?
We often get asked, "Is there really a difference if I wait until next month?"
The answer is a resounding yes.
The Welcome Aboard Sale is a coordinated event where cruise lines provide us with specific inventory and perks to kick off the spring booking season. Once March 13 passes, these specific combinations of reduced deposits, high OBC, and percentage discounts often disappear or are replaced with less aggressive offers.
Furthermore, 2026 is already proving to be a record-breaking year for travel. The best cabins: the corner suites, the aft balconies, and the family rooms that connect: are being snapped up. Booking during this sale ensures you get the room you want at the price you want.

Our office in Port Perry is more than just a place to pick up brochures. It’s a hub of travel knowledge. When you call or visit us during the Welcome Aboard Sale, we don't just "take an order." We help you compare.
Should you take the 40% off from Celebrity or the prepaid gratuities from Norwegian?
Is the $400 Sailor Loot on Virgin a better deal for your style than the $250 CAD credit on Holland America?
We do the math so you don't have to. We are navigators, and the "Welcome Aboard" event is our favorite time to show off our skills.
