Luxury cruise line Seabourn has enhanced its Book with Confidence policy.

The policy – which allows travellers to cancel their booking up to 30 days prior to departure on any new bookings and receive a future cruise credit – now applies to 2021 departures.

It also includes a new ‘Best Fare Guarantee’ benefit, enabling guests to request the lowest publicly available fare offered for their voyage, in the event fares are lowered following booking.

For existing and new bookings made by 31 July 2020 on sailings departing by 31 December 2021, guests may cancel up to 30 days prior to departure and receive a 100 per cent future cruise credit of any payment already made to Seabourn and currently within cancellation fees.

This credit will be valid for 12 months from the date of issue and may then be used to book sailings departing up to 31 December 2022.

In addition, the new Best Fare Guarantee benefit will provide guests who booked a Seabourn voyage by 31 July 2020 with the opportunity to request an adjustment in the event fares are lowered for their specific voyage and suite category.

Guests and travel advisors are being asked to contact Seabourn directly if they see a better rate listed on the cruise line’s website, but they must do so at least 30 days prior to departure.

Seabourn senior vice president of global marketing & sales, Chris Austin, said” “We understand many travellers are ready to start planning their next adventure and rediscover extraordinary worlds but may still have some hesitation to book. 

“We’ve enhanced our ‘Book with Confidence’ policy to give travellers assurance for a longer period of time that they can cancel closer to departure and have the opportunity of receiving the best pricing available.

“These updates should give them the confidence they need to finalize their travel plans now  – but know they have the flexibility to change if necessary.”

Seabourn has extended its global pause in operations until October/November 2020.
