We’ve all been there — wondering if waiting a few more weeks might mean a better deal. So, when is the best time to book your next holiday? The truth is: timing matters, especially for cruises and package tours.
🛳 Cruises: The Earlier, The Better
Cruise prices usually start low and rise as cabins sell out. Booking 6–12 months in advance gives you:
The best cabin choices (especially balconies and suites)
Lower fares or early booking offers
Flexible payment plans
If you’re looking at peak seasons like summer or school holidays, early booking is key.

🌍 Tours and Packages: Book 3–6 Months Out
For escorted tours or holiday packages, booking a few months in advance locks in flights and hotels at the best rate. Early-bird deals often include free upgrades or added excursions.

✈️ Flights: The “Sweet Spot”
For international flights, prices tend to drop 2–5 months before departure. Tuesdays and Wednesdays often show the lowest fares.

💡 Bonus Tip
If you’re flexible, last-minute deals do exist — but they work best for travellers who can pack and go quickly.
In short: early planners save more and get better choices. So if you’ve got your eye on a dream cruise or tour, booking now can actually mean spending less later.
