Cruisebound and Uplift, a buy now pay later solution for top travel and retail brands, partnered to offer customers payment installments on all bookings.

Cruisebound's mission is 'to bring the joy of cruising to all travelers by making online booking as frictionless and simple as possible.'

With the Uplift partnership, Cruisebound customers can book online and spread the cost of their cruise over monthly payments.

Uplift works with more than 200 leading airlines, cruise lines, resorts and other major travel providers.

Customers expect flexible payment options

'Our customers expect flexible payment options when booking cruises, including the ability to finance their ultimate vacation,' said Claire Gibbons, VP of product at Cruisebound. 'We are excited to partner with Uplift given their deep expertise and knowledge of the travel and cruise industries. We know our customers will be thrilled with this offering.'

Uplift is integrated into the Cruisebound booking platform, providing a frictionless experience for customers to book with flexible payment options through a quick application. 

No fees, choice of installment term lengths

With Uplift there are no fees including no late fees or prepayment penalties and customers can spread their cruise cost over affordable monthly payments, rather than paying in full at one time. Customers see the total cost of their purchase upfront including the monthly payment amount and may select from a variety of monthly installment term lengths.
