Amid this long weekend's sales, you can snag great bargains from a handful of lines that are running Memorial Day cruise deals.

When you book in the next few days, you'll receive discounts like 75% off a second guest and fares from as little as $60 per person per night, as well as extras like free Wi-Fi and onboard credit to spend on your sailing.

Here's a recap of what we're seeing.

Celebrity Cruises

Through May 28, Celebrity Cruises is knocking as much as $800 off the price of each cabin and an additional 75% off the cost of a second passenger's nonrefundable cruise fare for each booking when two passengers share a room. Plus, depending on the length of the sailing, you could earn up to $850 per cabin in onboard credit.

All of Celebrity's advertised base fares include crew gratuities and basic Wi-Fi (no streaming) and beverage packages (drinks up to $10 each), so this deal is a way to squeeze even more value out of perks that are already baked in.

The offer is valid on cruises departing through April 30, 2025.

MSC Cruises

Want free Wi-Fi and alcohol on your next MSC Cruises voyage? When you book a sailing with the line by May 29, you'll be entitled to complimentary basic Wi-Fi (no streaming) and an Easy Plus drink package that entitles you to one beverage per order, including beer, cocktails, spirits, wine, protein shakes, soda and bottled water valued at up to $10.

Additionally, the promotion earns passengers up to $400 per cabin in onboard credit, depending on the length of the cruise and the type of cabin booked. Note that the largest amount of onboard credit is awarded to suite and Yacht Club bookings of 10 nights or longer. However, Yacht Club bookings already come with free Wi-Fi and drink packages, so a Yacht Club booking under this deal will only net you onboard credit.
