Booking.com introduced cruises as a new travel vertical for customers in the US through a partnership with World Travel Holdings.

Cruise planning benefits include access to more than 10,000 sailings on over 30 cruise lines, from more than 55 departure ports across the globe.

Always-on deals

Plus, customers will have access to always-on deals throughout the year, including up to $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 in on-board credits depending on the total amount spent.

Just ahead of Black Friday this month, Booking.com will double its spend at sea reward. Additional exclusive on-board credit will be offered for booking select brands including Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean International and several others.

Cruise customers can also tap into Booking.com’s marketplace to arrange every element of their trip in one place such as booking transportation to a departure port, reserving accommodations before or after the cruise, or organizing destination experiences.

Customers also have the option to book their cruise online or via phone with the help of US-based cruise experts 24/7, and live chat is available to all cruise site visitors.

110% Best Price Guarantee

A 110% Best Price Guarantee is also offered with every cruise booking so if customers find a lower price on another website within 48 hours of booking with Booking.com they'll get a 110% refund of the difference.

'We are committed to making it easier for everyone to experience the world and with the United States being the largest market for cruises globally, it is important for us to meet and service this demand through our platform,' said Ben Harrell, managing director, US at Booking.com.
