“Why You Need two Book Holiday Travel Early (Especially in 2025)”

Every year, travelers wait until fall to start thinking about their holiday trips — and every year, they’re surprised by how fast prices rise and availability shrinks. If you're dreaming of a Thanksgiving cruise, Christmas market getaway, or a winter staycation, July is the time to get serious.
Here’s why:

1️⃣ Holiday Travel Demand Keeps Growing
Post-pandemic travel is still surging. Cruise lines, resorts, ski destinations, and holiday events are filling faster than ever. Many popular holiday cruises are already booking up, and premium cabins, family suites, and group space are often gone 6–12 months in advance.
2️⃣ Better Prices + More Perks the Earlier You Book
Booking early often means:
✅ Lower rates
✅ More cabin or room choices
✅ Access to bonus perks (onboard credits, drink packages, early booking incentives)
✅ Easier payment plans spread over more months
Waiting until fall often means higher prices and less flexibility.
3️⃣ Holiday Experiences Are Once-in-a-Lifetime
Some of the most unique trips fill early, including:
🎄
Christmas Market River Cruises in Europe
🚢
Thanksgiving & Christmas Cruises
🎡
Texas Holiday Staycations like Fredericksburg, Grapevine, and Santa’s Wonderland
🏔️
Ski Resorts & Winter Escapes
🎆
New Year’s Eve at Sea or at luxury resorts
Booking now means you lock in your spot before dates disappear.
4️⃣ You Can Relax and Actually Enjoy the Season
The biggest benefit? Peace of mind.
When your trip is already booked early, you can focus on enjoying the holidays instead of scrambling for last-minute options.
✨ Let’s Get Ahead Together
If you're thinking about a holiday trip for 2025 — or even 2026 — now is the time to start planning. You don’t have to navigate the details alone — I’ll help you find the perfect fit for your budget, schedule, and dream experience.
