If you're anything like us, you love a great deal. Especially when it comes to travel. Welcome to Travel Deals Thursday, where each week we dig through hundreds of emails, alerts, and travel sites to bring you a few of the best deals we've found on cruises, flights, hotels, and all-inclusives. So welcome to Travel Deals Thursday.
Okay, Scott. So let's get right into the deals. The first one is Beaches, Turks and Caicos and Beaches Negril
So for those of you who aren't familiar, Beaches is the Sandals all-inclusive brand, but for families. So right now they're having a Caribbean? Caribbean. How do you say that, Scott? How do you say that? I say Caribbean.
So right now they're having a Caribbean sale with room rates that are up to 65 % off plus a $400 instant credit and a $275 tour credit if you stay for five nights or longer. Yeah, we had the opportunity to book this for a client recently and they got a tremendous savings out of this.
I couldn't imagine the savings that they got off of this deal until I saw it in writing. Yeah. It was absolutely crazy. And so when we say the up to 65 % off, it really does depend on which room that you book. So, but a lot of them are 45, 55, 65 % off and they're booking into 2027.
The longer out you book, the more choice that you have. But I will say that like all of those discounts are good except for that $275 tour credit. So for that one specifically, you have to book now through September 29th and you can travel now through the end of May of 2026. But the rest of the discounts are good like into 2027.
Yeah, the one that we booked for this client was in 2027, July of 2027. He got the 65 % off. got the $400 in instant credit. He got a hundred dollar credit that they gave him for online booking, which we booked it for him. So I'm not sure what that is. they weren't doing tours, so, the tour credit didn't come into play on this one, but it was amazing.
And they booked the beaches, Turks and Caicos, which is one, a really big one. it's got 20 restaurants, 10 pools, a 45,000 square foot water park, scuba diving, and of course, grace Bay, which is according to TripAdvisor, the number one beach in the world. of course it's the beaches resorts are known for being the most family.
friendly resorts out there. And they also have autism certified kids programs, which is really cool. That and Sesame Street characters on site. They've got a teen disco. They've got all the works. Yeah. and if you're looking for something that's a little bit more laid back, look into the Beaches Negril in Jamaica. that one is also part of this sale. also perfect for families who love water sports, but also that Jamaican vibe.

All right, now let's ⁓ shift gears to something totally different, which is Atlas Ocean Voyages. These are small luxury ships that take you to some of the most unique destinations in the world. And we're excited because this is who we're sailing with to Antarctica next year, and we can't wait to tell you about it.
Yes, so their Explorers Choice Sale is going on now, but you have to book by September 30th, so just a few more days because on October 1st, the fares are going to increase. So you can save up to 30 % on select ones from 2025 through their 2027 sailings.
And here's the cool part. You get to choose your perk. So either up to $2,000 in air credit, a pre or post hotel package, or you can choose premium Wi-Fi for two devices. And if you book a suite, you get to pick two of those. I wanted to like pick out a specific example because I know that that really helps. That really helps me when we're looking at
you know, travel deals. So here's one that I could get super excited about. So this one is for April 2026. So it's not like it's last minute or anything like that. And it's for, Tenerife
So it's the round trip voyage from $3,965 per guest and it includes two days in Morocco. And so that's just a bucket list combination right there. Atlas is all about experiences. They do polar expeditions in Antarctica. They do stargazing with a resident astronomer in Scotland and Norway, or you can do culinary adventures in the Mediterranean.
Which sounds phenomenal. Yeah, so they are all over the world, which is what's really, really cool. So that was just an example. There is lots more to choose from, so we'll put the link to that in the show notes.
All right, and the last one for today is Viking River Cruises. We're gonna highlight one that's specifically Christmas on the Rhine, but this deal is actually good for lots of other ones too. So if you're dreaming of those Christmas markets, Viking actually has an exclusive new guest offer right now. So this is for people who have never sailed with Viking. And this is for their Christmas on the Rhine cruise.
It's eight days from Amsterdam to Basel. You'll go through four different countries. You have eight guided tours per person. Yeah. And so that particular cruise is going to be throughout the month of December. The promo is incredible. So up to free international airfare, just a $25 deposit.
Plus your choice of up to $1,000 shipboard credit per couple or a free beverage package with included gratuities.
So if you're going to book this one on your own, you need to use the following offer codes, SBC 9A or BEV 9A. And I think that's going to depend on which one you're using the shipboard credit or the beverage package. So SBC shipboard credit and BEV, which would be the beverage credit. And you have to book that by September 30th of 2025.
And so you can use that offer. It's not just for the Christmas one, but you can use the offer into 26 and 27. But again, like Scott said, you have to book it by the end of September. And can you believe Scott, they were already booking travel into 2027? No, I can't. I mean, personally, we are not booking travel into 2027 because we don't usually plan that far in advance, but we may pretty soon because some of these deals are just awesome. But if you've sailed with them before.
There are other promotions, so be sure to reach out to us at sunxtravel.com and we will help you find the best one for you.
Alright, Scott. So three very different deals. Family fun at beaches, adventure on the luxury cruise on Atlas, And then of course holiday magic Christmas market cruise with Viking. So that is 100 % on my bucket list. I don't think we're going to make that this year.
So hopefully in 2026, we can do that. Christmas market, maybe the river cruise Christmas market.
And whether you're planning with kids or you're chasing bucket list expeditions or even just day daydreaming of sipping mulled wine on the Rhine. Now is the time to go ahead and book those. So if one of these deals caught your attention we'll drop the links in the show notes. You can check them out.
