Leading Chinese luxury cruise company, Century Cruises, is marking its landmark first year in the North American market with a promotion.

As a result of the cruise line exceeding expectations with record-breaking growth due to the support from worldwide travel agency partners, Century Cruises has announced a 2026 Wave Promotion, providing exceptional deals for travelers and rewards for its travel partners. 

Robust promotions for travelers include:

  • 2-for-1 cruise fares
  • Up to free international airfare
  • Bonus savings of $500 per person
  • Reduced deposits of only $25 per passenger

 

    Century Cruises is also eliminating non-commissionable fares (NCFs) and offering travel advisors a 25 percent commission on bookings made within the first quarter of 2026. Repeat customers will receive upgrades on select cabins and special on-board packages.

    “Thanks to the overwhelming support of travel agents worldwide, our China product outperformed expectations by 300% said David Fredericks, President of Century Cruises in a statement.

    He added, “With China reopening to the world and its new visa-free policy with Canada, we anticipate continued traction and growth. We’re also thrilled by the strong bookings in the last quarter of 2025 for Century Star, our first electronic propulsion ship launching in Europe. Rewarding our travel partners with 25% commissions and no NCFs is simply our way of saying thank you for believing in us. We are also in the process of contacting all our clients from our extensive database, directly offering them the chance to book an unforgettable cruise at the special rates dedicated to them."
