£1 per person deposit…what’s it all about?

This week I wanted to share with you a new option for you when booking your cruise. We have recently introduced a new payment scheme and I thought I’d take the chance to explain in a little more detail for you.

So what does the £1 per person deposit mean to you? Well it means just that, you can secure your cruise for only £1 per person deposit, you will then pay the remainder of your deposit at the end of the following month, so if you book in May the remainder is due at the end of June and then from there a monthly direct debit payment will be taken until the balance due date of your cruise and that’s pretty much it in a nut shell. What could be easier. Standard deposits are anything from £100 per person to around 20% of your cruise holiday cost and vary depending upon the cruise line you book.

The £1 per person deposit is available for most cruise lines with some exclusions including River cruise lines and Luxury lines. It’s also valid for 2019 and 2020 sailings.

It’s such a great way to spread the payments of your cruise balance rather than being hit with a big balance payment usually around seventeen weeks before. I know I’ve just received my holiday balance payment request and the full amount needs to be paid next week. If I had spread out the cost with a direct debit scheme I wouldn’t now have such a big outlay all at once and it would have been a great way to save for the holiday and spread the cost.

It means you can think about the cruise you want to book for next year or the year after, get it confirmed with just a £1 and then your payments will automatically go out of your account until it’s fully paid. So simple what’s not to love!

There’s no interest to pay, it’s 100% secure and a great way to book your cruise.

The standard deposit option is still there of course for those that choose to book this way, but I think this is a great option and one I can see becoming really popular for our cruise customers. If you would like any more information do as always get in touch.

Thanks for reading, until next time Abbi x
