Ready to catch a wave?

I’m not talking about surfing, though that would be fun. I’m talking about the cruise industry’s Wave Season which lasts into March and offers the best deals of the year, whether you are looking for a small expedition ship, one suitable for a multigenerational group, for adults without kids, a river cruise or a megaship with all the bells and whistles. (A zipline or massive waterslide, perhaps?)

During Wave Season, “the cruise lines really roll out the perks to help sweeten the deals and encourage booking. For travelers, it’s a great time to compare deals across a wide variety of lines, to see which deal is best for their needs,” said Colleen McDaniel, editor-in-chief of Cruise Critic.
