Hi Reader, ✌🏽
​

It's your favorite travel agent, Candice! I’m welcoming you into 2026 and am eager to help you get your travel plans on the books.

While we’re enjoying this mild 72° Alabama winter day, the travel world is officially entering "Wave Season." This is the busiest booking window of the year (January–March) which means it’s when some of the best deals, lowest deposits, and biggest onboard credits are released.

2026 is being called the “Year of the Vessel,” and for good reason. Your cruising options just got a massive upgrade.

Check out the three ships I’m most excited to book for you this year:

The Caribbean’s New Queen: Norwegian Luna ​
NCL is leaning into “fun tech.” Think of a three-story magnetic-lift slide coaster and a digital sports court that transforms into a high-energy lounge at night.

Best for: Groups and active families looking for a high-energy Caribbean escape or the most "All Inclusive" sailing available at sea with NCL's Free at Sea Program.

​

The Multi-Gen Masterpiece: Disney Adventure ​
Disney is going bigger than ever. This ship will feature seven themed zones (including a massive Marvel Landing) and the longest roller coaster ever built on a ship.

Best for: Families who want that legendary Disney magic
but with more space to spread out than ever before.

​

The Newest Icon: Legend of the Seas​
Royal Caribbean is expanding its record-breaking Icon class. The Legend of the Seas will redefine “large scale” travel with the Category 6 Waterpark and the suspended infinity pool at The Hideaway.

Best for: The ultimate “Bucket List” family vacation where you want everything in one place.
