Royal Caribbean Group is extending its Cruise with Confidence cancellation policy to sailings through April 2022.

For new and existing bookings created by 1 August 2020, guests have the flexibility to cancel their cruise up to 48 hours prior to sailing and receive a full credit of the cruise fare for a future cruise through April 2022.

Cruise with Confidence applies to both existing cruise bookings and those made by 1 August 2020, and to all cruises with sailing dates on or before April 2022.

The policy goes across the company’s global brands, including Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara.

The cruise company has also enhanced the policy with new rebooking options, which include:

• Best Price Guarantee: Guests can choose to change the price and promotional offer on their reservation up to 48 hours before their cruise.
• Lift and Shift: For ease and as close as 48 hours prior to sailing, travellers have the option to simply “lift and shift” their cruise to the same itinerary departing on a future date. The original price and promotional offer on the reservation will be protected, along with the length of the cruise and stateroom category.

RCL chairman and CEO Richard Fain said: “Guests are reacting positively to our Cruise with Confidence policy because it enables them to make informed decisions and to better manage complicated travel plans during this unprecedented time of uncertainty.”

Fain added: “We want our guests to feel they can safely keep their existing cruise bookings or schedule new sailings because this policy gives them more freedom and flexibility.”

For individual brand policy details, guests should visit the cruise lines’ own websites.
