Once upon a time, the day after Thanksgiving — aka the day no one in the US has a damn thing to do — was known as Black Friday. The day retail outlets went “into the black,” so to speak, as shoppers jammed malls and department stores to get a jump on their Christmas shopping. But as shopping in actual stores has become about as relevant as landlines, the shift in Black Friday madness has turned to Cyber Monday — when online retailers offer huge discounts, minus the elbows to the face over Tickle Me Elmos.
Travel discounts are especially abundant on Cyber Monday, as people start planning their 2019 vacations around who offers the best discount. Whether it’s airfare, cheap hotels, insane cruise discounts, or thousands of dollars off adventure tours, the best Cyber Monday deals are not always easy to find. Fortunately, we sifted through thousands of them to bring the best travel Cyber Monday deals of 2018.
