Seabourn has relaunched its early bonus savings promotion, offering guests the chance to save and travel agents an opportunity to earn commission.

Guests who pay their booking in full by 31 March 2021 will receive an additional 10 per cent saving off the base cruise fare. The promotion applies to select voyages that depart on or after 15 July 2021 and includes voyages throughout summer and autumn 2022. It is not valid on the line’s world cruise.

In addition, the promotion can be combined with other Seabourn campaigns, including group rates, solo traveller offers, and the signature savings event, featuring amenities and benefits such as shipboard credits, suite upgrades and more.

Seabourn president Josh Leibowitz said: “We chose to extend the early bonus savings offer because guests have reacted so favourably.

“We are also motivated to help our travel advisor partners earn much-needed revenue immediately as we pay commission in period for early bonus savings bookings.”

Seabourn has also updated its book with confidence policy. For bookings made by 31 March 2021, 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 equal to the amount of the non-refundable portion of cancellation fees based on payment already received.

The future cruise credit is valid for 12 months from the date of issue and may be used to book sailings departing through to 31 December 2021.

Speaking to Cruise Trade News, Seabourn UK and Ireland managing director Lynn Narraway said that luxury cruise customers are beginning to commit to booking holidays, adding: “January’s news regarding the vaccine has brought with it a healthy increase in business for later this year and for 2022, especially.

“With this in mind, Seabourn is launching new product even earlier, alongside strong campaigns and booking incentives.”
