This Week's Travel Deals

Last updated: October 22, 2026

Every week we look through what the cruise lines and resort suppliers are offering to Canadian travellers and pull out the ones worth a second look. This is the first edition. We update this same post every week, so bookmark it and check back. Each deal links to the supplier's own page, so you can see the full terms for yourself.

A quick note before you dive in: deals move fast, prices and availability change without notice, and every offer is subject to the supplier's terms. If something catches your eye, we are happy to check what is really available for your dates and your departure city.
