The Costco Travel website frequently features offers on vacation packages, hotels and rental cars. It also includes deals for taking to the high seas on cruises.

Costco Travel does not offer airline trips on their own, but it does include airfare in its vacation packages.

It requires a different setup than one's regular Costco shopping account. Bookings can be made online or over the phone.

Notably, anyone can view the vacation offers on Costco Travel's website, but you must be a member to see pricing and to make bookings.

Disney cruises can be booked now through Costco Travel

Sailings on Disney Cruise Line are currently available for family vacations on Costco Travel.

"Book select Disney sailings with a reduced deposit," wrote Costco Travel. "Embark on a tropical cruise to the Caribbean or The Bahamas — or choose from other fun-filled itineraries to Alaska, Europe, Mexico and beyond. With exciting voyages sailing from Florida, Texas and California, there's no better time to cast off with Disney Cruise Line on that family vacation you've been dreaming about."

Bookings for featured deals on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts must be submitted by Feb. 16, so they need to be made relatively soon but there is plenty of time to plan. The trips all include a reduced deposit for easier booking.
