Black Friday Travel Deals - 2021

Celebrating Thanksgiving Day has taken on an extra special meaning this year after the events of the last two years. The importance of spending time with people, traveling, and making the most of each moment has been magnified. We understand now, in a way that many of us haven’t for a long time, that time is fleeting, life is short, and that the world as we know it can change at any second – the time for waiting has passed and the world is opening and ready to embrace all that’s on offer.
​
Travel has returned in full force – it seems as though the whole world has family to visit, places to see, and memories to make – and this Thanksgiving the options for travel and taking advantage of travel deals are varied and many. While it may be a little late for some to take advantage of those last-minute Thanksgiving travel offers, we do want to share with you some of the best Black Friday deals available so that you can plan that special getaway sooner rather than later! 

Boutique Cruising

A boutique cruise is a wholly different experience than those of the “big ship” variety. Companies such as Seabourn and Regent offer a fully inclusive cruise experience in an ultra-luxe environment. Fine dining, wine, champagne and more are all included in your cruise cost, though of course if you want to peruse the wine cellars and purchase an extra special bottle, you are more than welcome to! Seaphire’s founder recently returned from a voyage on a Seabourn small ship and was able to spend some time with the sommelier to select a beautiful wine to pair with a specially prepared meal and was extremely impressed with both the selection and the whole experience.

Seabourn is offering the following Black Friday Sail for those who book by November 30
Black Friday Sail, November 16 through November 30. Enjoy up to $1,000 off per person on Veranda and Ocean View suites and up to $1,000 Shipboard Credit per suite on select voyages through Summer 2022.

Private Island Escapes
​
Staying on a private island is an experience unto itself – being whisked by private air or boat to a paradise that is for the sole use of yourself or you and only a few select others, is the epitome of luxury and escape. Depending on your desires, you can buy out an island resort for yourself and a core group of friends and loved ones or you can elect to book a room in a boutique property. This year, we have two standout options available at record low prices. One, Ambergris Cay, a private island resort in the Turks & Caicos islands, known for having some of the most pristine beaches and clear water in all of the world, and another, a private island resort available for up to 27 of your nearest and dearest, located in the British Virgin Islands and one of the few that are privately owned, will wow you with the attention to detail.

Ambergris Cay – Private Island Luxury Resort Turks & Caicos
Offering 40% off for bookings made by December 5th, for travel through April 14th

Aerial at Buck Island – Private Island Buyout in the British Virgin Islands
Offering a massive 32% off of an entire island buyout for up to 27 guests, this is a deal that has to be seen to be believed!
