Travel deals announced so far
Black Friday hotel deals for 2026 were slow to appear: on 1 November, the clearest Black Friday travel offers came from a cruise line and a tour company rather than from the big hotel chains. Black Friday is Friday 27 November. This table lists what each brand published on its own site, with the booking and travel windows where it gives them, and whether it calls the offer Black Friday.

Hyatt, Sandals, Palace Resorts, Funjet and Travelzoo did not open for our tools on 1 November, so their offers are not in the table. Flights are covered in our Black Friday flight deals guide.
Hotel deals by chain
Hilton
Hilton's offers page on 1 November showed standing offers, not a Black Friday sale: up to 17% off its standard rate when you book in advance, up to 10% off for AAA and CAA members, up to 6% off for seniors, and up to 5,000 bonus Hilton Honors points at select new hotels, plus breakfast, parking and longer-stay packages. Advance purchase rates are usually prepaid, so read the cancellation terms before you book.
Marriott
Marriott's offers page listed destination deals but no Black Friday offer on 1 November. Its package arm, Vacations by Marriott Bonvoy, showed up to 20% off hotel and flight packages with Bonvoy points.
Hyatt, IHG and Accor
Hyatt's offers page did not open for our tools on 1 November, and we had not read IHG's or Accor's 2026 Black Friday terms. We add them here when we can read them on the chains' own sites.
Booking sites
Priceline showed up to 55% off hotel and flight packages and its Disney Resorts Collection offer. Agoda and Travelzoo had no Black Friday offer we could read. On booking sites, compare the total with taxes and fees, because the nightly rate shown first may leave them out.
All-inclusive resort deals
All-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean had not published 2026 Black Friday prices that we could read on 1 November. The Villa Group's site showed direct-booking perks but no Black Friday offer, and Sandals and Palace Resorts did not open for our tools. Club Med's US site lists low deposits, flexible payments, free changes or cancellation 61 or more days before arrival, and an insurance option that lets you cancel any time before departure.
For any all-inclusive deal, check what "all inclusive" covers at that resort (premium drinks, specialty restaurants, activities), whether airport transfers are included, and whether a resort fee or tax is added at checkout.
Vacation package deals
Exoticca, which sells tour packages with flights, hotels and transfers, has the most detailed Black Friday travel sale we could read. Its US site labels tours "Black Friday Sale", "Black Friday Hot Deal" (up to 70% off) and "Knockout Deal", and shows other Black Friday tours at 60% off. One example: "A taste of Japan: Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka", Japan in 9 Days, from $1,749 against $3,189.
A package price is often per person and based on two people sharing, from a set departure city. Check the departure airport, the dates the "from" price applies to, and what the price includes before you compare it with booking the parts yourself.
Black Friday cruise deals
Royal Caribbean
Royal Caribbean's "Black Friday Cruise Deals 2026" page was live on 1 November. It gives the dates (Black Friday on 27 November, Cyber Monday on 30 November, Travel Tuesday on 1 December), says its savings continue through those days, and explains its offer types: instant savings taken off the fare at checkout, onboard credit, and regional and resident rates for some states and ports. It notes that higher-tier staterooms such as suites often unlock the largest savings, and that deal terms "change year to year, and even day to day" in the Thanksgiving season. We have no Royal Caribbean store page, so we name it without a link.
Celebrity, Norwegian, Carnival and Princess
Celebrity showed up to 75% off the second guest's fare (up to $800) and a $100 weekend bonus, and Norwegian a free second guest; neither called these Black Friday offers on 1 November. Carnival's deals page showed no offers in its page text, and we had not read Princess's US page.
How cruise offer wording works
- "Up to $X off": Royal Caribbean says this means an instant reduction at checkout, and it says higher-tier staterooms often unlock the top figure.
- Second guest discounts: the percentage applies to the second person's fare only, so across two guests the saving is about half the headline percentage.
- Onboard credit: money to spend on the ship, not a lower fare. Royal Caribbean lists excursions, drink and dining packages, Wi-Fi and spa treatments as uses.
- Taxes, fees and port expenses: often shown separately from the fare. Compare totals, not fares.
Disney World resort stays
Priceline's offer of up to 20% off rooms at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels covers stays most nights from 4 October to 24 December 2026, as stated on its home page on 1 November. Disney's own special offers page loads by script, so we could not read it. Park tickets are a separate purchase from the hotel room; check whether a package includes them.
Book-by, stay-by and blackout dates
Every travel deal has three windows, and the discount only matters if your trip fits all three:
- Book by: the last day you can book at the offer price.
- Stay or sail by: the travel dates the offer covers. Priceline's Disney offer, for example, applies to stays most nights from 4 October to 24 December 2026.
- Blackout dates: dates inside the window that are excluded, often holidays.
Also check whether the rate is prepaid and non-refundable, what changes cost, and how taxes and resort or port fees are added. Club Med's terms, for example, allow free changes or cancellation 61 or more days before arrival. If you book far ahead, travel insurance is worth pricing, and our refunds and price matching guide covers what stores allow after you buy.
Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Travel Tuesday for travel?
For travel, the sale days run together. Royal Caribbean says its savings roll from Black Friday through Cyber Monday to Travel Tuesday on 1 December. Hotel chains had not published 2026 dates for any of those days on 1 November. If you find a refundable rate you are happy with, you can book it and rebook if a better one appears; a non-refundable rate locks you in. Our Cyber Week guide explains how the days from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday fit together, and our Thanksgiving deals guide covers the week before.
Cyber Monday travel deals
Cyber Monday 2026 is Monday 30 November. Royal Caribbean says its Black Friday savings continue through Cyber Monday. Hotel chains, cruise lines and package companies had not published separate Cyber Monday terms on 1 November; we add them here when they do. All Cyber Monday offers we track are on our Cyber Monday page.
How we check these deals
We read each hotel chain's, cruise line's and travel company's own pages, list the offers and windows as they state them, and give the date we read them: 1 November 2026 for this version. Travel offers change daily, as Royal Caribbean itself says, so always check the brand's page before you book. When a site blocks our tools, we say so and leave its offers out.
All Black Friday offers we track are on our Black Friday deals page, and our other guides are in the Black Friday hub, including when Black Friday starts at each store and how to tell if a deal is real. This guide is written by the SavingArena Editorial Team.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to what readers ask about this topic.
Do hotels have Black Friday deals in 2026?
Few hotel chains had announced one by 1 November 2026. Hilton showed standing offers such as up to 17% off for booking in advance, and Priceline offered up to 20% off select Disney Resorts Collection hotels; we add chain offers as they are published.
Are all-inclusive resorts cheaper on Black Friday?
We could not read a 2026 Black Friday all-inclusive price on 1 November. When offers appear, check what the package includes, whether transfers are covered and what fees are added at checkout.
Do cruise lines have Black Friday sales?
Yes. Royal Caribbean's Black Friday Cruise Deals 2026 page was live on 1 November and says its savings continue through Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday. Celebrity and Norwegian were running other offers that day.
Is Black Friday or Travel Tuesday better for booking travel?
For many travel brands the offers run across both. Royal Caribbean says its Black Friday savings continue to Travel Tuesday on 1 December 2026, so compare the book-by and travel dates rather than the sale day.
Can I cancel a Black Friday hotel or cruise booking?
It depends on the rate. Prepaid and advance purchase rates are often non-refundable, while some brands allow changes ahead of time; Club Med, for example, allows free changes or cancellation 61 or more days before arrival.
