Many cruise lines have introduced temporary terms that provide much greater flexibility for your travel plans. These new policies are designed not only to protect guests who have already booked a cruise, but also to give you the confidence to go ahead and book your cruise, with the peace of mind that you won’t lose out, should you decide to reschedule your travel plans for any reason.
These plans are being updated frequently and can change at any time. We are monitoring these closely and will aim to give you the most up to date advice. This information was last updated on Septermber 3rd at 3:00pm.
These policies apply only to the cruise element of a booking. Where you have booked a package with Cruise Nation, we will not charge any amendment fee but if there is a difference in the value of your new holiday you will be required to pay the difference.
The latest flexible booking terms are outlined below:
