Best of Black Friday - Grand Voyages Style

+ what's on our wish list for next year

November 29, 2024

If your inbox is anything like mine it’s filled to the brim with Black Friday travel deals. Honestly it’s hard to get through them all and discern which are legit specials vs. just same old same old 🤷🏻‍♀️

As a travel advisor and Grand Voyages trip planner I’m privy to even more than the average consumer receives so I wanted to throw just a few at you that I think are actual legitimate deals above and beyond what you can find the rest of the year.

I hope this distillation is helpful and as always, feel free to reach out if you want help planning your next Grand Voyage - land, sea, trains - we love to create epic journey’s that combine multiple modes of transport into one trip.

On that note, next week I’ll be releasing our first trip report on our very own Grand Voyage to the Arabian Gulf where we combined stays in Dubai with a Cruise around the Arabian Gulf, combined with so much culture and cool attractions in all our stops (special shoutout to the Louvre Abu Dhabi….just wow!)

And without further ado, here’s my ‘best of’ lineup for you guys…. enjoy!

Thanks for reading Grand Voyages! This post is public so feel free to share it.

• Explora Journeys

If you’ve been wanting to try out Explora (like I have!) you can grab a sailing for as low as $2500-$3000 pp on European and Caribbean sailings.

*get a load of this design!

• HX Hurtigruten Expeditions

Dream expeditions on sale now. Here’s a few I have my eye on….

Galapagos from $5900 pp

Greenland from $7200 pp

Antarctica from $8300 pp

*isn’t he just the cutest??

• Scenic / Emerald

Scenic cruises are bucket list worthy with a price tag to match BUT their yacht and river cruise line Emerald has some great entry-point fares that has me considering one for next year.

*Danube in low season for the win

• Rosewood Hotels

Rosewood has long been in my Top Five of favorite hotel brands. Stunning properties in all the corners of the world I want to visit.

I rarely see the level of discount they are currently offering for Cyber week - at 30% off, some of these are a steal.

Then hit me up and I’ll get you a specialized quote including lots of extra perks.

*I would love to visit this one in Laos next year + combine it with a Mekong river cruise for one totally awesome Grand Voyage

• Auberge Resorts

I recently became acquainted with this brand and fell hard for their property portfolio. Just gorgeous non-cookie-cutter boutique properties with a solid US footprint for when you need to stay closer to home.

They’re offering a generous 35% for cyber week which means you can lock in good rates next year for ski time or wine harvest season 🙌

*Look how charming this place is in the heart of Santa Barbara wine country

I could go on but I won’t!

I want to leave it at that for now and respect your time and inbox volume today lol.

Please feel free to share this post with friends and family who it might resonate with.
