Spring has officially sprung! In addition to the warm weather and beautiful blooms, many people are also looking forward to taking a spring break. Because spring is a popular time to travel, some travel brands offer deals as an incentive for travelers to book more trips.
While travel is (unfortunately) quite expensive for most consumers these days, you may find our selection of spring travel deals something your current budget can work with. We did some major digging and found big savings (up to 60% off!) on hotels, flights, cruises and car rentals.
The catch? You’ll need to be a little flexible with your travel dates and choice of destination, as that’s the best way to maximize your spring travel savings. It’ll be even better if you can be packed and ready to go in a flash, as hotels, airlines and especially cruise lines attempt to fill up bookings at the very last minute.
Disclaimer: These deals can change at any time. Not only that, but the prices are so good that these offers could easily sell out. As such, we recommend you jump on these deals before they disappear!
6 Best Deals on Last-Minute Spring Getaways
Hotels Starting at 25% Off with Expedia
The Expedia Annual Vacation Sale is happening now through Mar. 31. You need to be a One Key member to get access to the sale’s discounts. But don’t fret though, as Expedia’s rewards program is free and easy to join! Plus, your One Key membership nets you savings through Hotels.com and Vrbo as well, just in case you’d like more options.
Some of the hottest destinations are seeing budget-friendly rates this spring. For example, you can head to Cancun as soon as Apr. 5–10 and stay at Hotel Luma by Kavia Cancun starting at $44 per night (typically $94–$141), or jet to Hawaii’s Luana Waikiki Hotel & Suites, starting at $192 per night (typically $231).
Or, for a more kid-friendly getaway, families may opt to spend Easter weekend (Apr. 18–21) at the Florida Hotel & Conference Center in the Florida Mall starting at $197 per night (typically $248). It’s literally inside the mall so you can shop ’til you drop, then enjoy all Orlando has to offer with Universal Studios and Walt Disney World a short drive away.
If you do choose to book with Expedia, know that you can earn 4% cash back on your purchase with your RetailMeNot account from now through March 31. Like Expedia’s One Key membership, it’s free to join.

Up to 51% Off Last-Minute Cruises with Priceline
Now is also high time to save on journeys on the high seas, as there are lots of big deals available on last-minute cruises sailing in April, May and even June. Departure ports include Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Galveston, Seattle, New Orleans and Baltimore — so pick the closest one and set sail!
Cruise destinations include Mexico, the Caribbean and even Alaska, though your savings will vary depending on your departure date. For example, you can take MSC Cruises’ 4-night Bahamas voyage for less than $500, or this 4-night Pacific Coast cruise on Holland America Line, sailing from San Diego to Vancouver for as little as $259 this May. Or, maybe you’d prefer to set sail on a 7-night Alaska adventure on Norwegian Cruise Line, which is currently priced at a low $601 this April. (For comparison, an interior room on that same cruise goes for as much as $1,481 when it sails in June!)
Also keep an eye out for select Princess Cruise sailings eligible for the Spring Swing Sale which can net you 50% off, free upgrades and more savings when you book before Apr. 1.
BOGO 60% Off and Kids Sail Free on Royal Caribbean
If you like to sail Royal Caribbean in particular, the cruise line has plenty of deals on spring departure dates — and they can be stacked with other offers, including 60% off your second guest and free fare for kids under 12 on select sailings. Both offers are available through Mar. 31, just keep in mind that there are a lot of excluded dates for the Kids Sail Free promo, so plan carefully.
That said, early April and early May look to be your best bets to sail with kids this spring, and some warm and sunny destinations are seeing some of the best deals. The early May departures for this 5-night Western Caribbean cruise from Tampa are less than $800 per person. Or, you can set sail from Los Angeles to Catalina and Ensenada for four nights in late April or early May, starting at just $324 per person.
Up to 30% off Budget Car Rentals
If you’re looking to venture out on a road trip instead (or just want to do some extra exploring at your destination), check Budget for rental cars this spring.
They have a rotating selection of deals that’ll save you as much as 30% off already discounted rentals. Current locations for the flash sale include Denver, Dallas, San Antonio, San Francisco, Miami and Newark, New Jersey.
