How Do I Book?
Booking your World Cruise with Cruise Holidays of Alexandria is a seamless process. Simply call us at your convenience, 7 days per week, to discuss your options. We will gladly answer all of your questions, and help you decide what is the best World Cruise or Liner Itinerary for you.
When you are ready to reserve your stateroom, all you need do is place a deposit on your itinerary and stateroom of choice. The deposit is 15% of your overall cruise fare. You may do so with any major credit card, to include Master Card, Visa, or American Express. If you are eligible for American Express Platinum amenities on your Cunard Cruise, we are able to work with Cunard to secure those for you.
Call us today to begin the planning process. Our toll free number is 866-368-7327. You also may reach us locally at 703-706-0011.
When Should I Book?
It is no secret that World Cruises sell out months ahead of time, particularly in high-demand stateroom categories. Typically, the highest and the lowest category staterooms sell the fastest. Because triple and quad staterooms are limited, they too sell quickly.
Our best advice to you is to book as soon as you have decided that you would like to experience the 2010 World Cruise. This will ensure you the early booking rates, which will only go up, and the richest amenities. Most importantly, it will give you the most and best options of securing a stateroom of your choice. After all, with a commitment of up to 106 days on the full World Cruise, you will want to get your first stateroom choice.
What Happens if I Have to Cancel?
Even the best laid plans can change for unforeseen reasons. Cunard and Cruise Holidays make it easy for you to cancel for any reason should you decide after you book that you can no longer take the World Cruise. If you cancel by no later than 121 days prior to your departure, you will receive a full refund of your deposit, less $25 per person. After this, the cancellation fees, as established by Cunard, are as follows*
|
Number of Days Before Travel
|
Cancellation Fee
|
|
120 to 91
|
10% of full fare
|
|
90 to 61
|
50% of full fare
|
|
60 days or less
|
100% of full fare
|
*Cancellation fees within 121 days are established by Cunard. Please see Cunard Brochure for full details. Cunard’s policies as detailed in the Cunard Brochure prevail over any conflicting information provided on this website.
Cruise Holidays Can Assist You with Airfare, Hotels, and Shore Excursions.
Cruise Holidays has extensive relationships with airline consolidators that provide special pricing on regularly scheduled leading airlines. As such, we can often assist you with securing special rates on airfares to your chosen port of embarkation and from your chosen port of debarkation.
We also can assist you with pre and post-cruise hotel stays, and have established relationships with exceptional shore tour providers. With our shore tour providers, we can arrange private or small group tours, allowing you to see the sites you want to see while avoiding the big coach buses and large groups that frequently are part of the cruise line’s offered shore excursions.
If you are interested in these services, please ask us. We want to help ensure that your World Cruise experience is the best, most memorable vacation experience of your lives, as its should be.
A Note About Cruise Holidays.
We realize a World Cruise is a big investment. When you make that investment with Cruise Holidays of Alexandria, you can rest assured that you have made a wise decision. Cruise Holidays of Alexandria is part of the Cruise Holidays network of cruise specialty stores – the oldest and one of the largest independently-owned networks of cruise specialty stores in North America. Our business is fully licensed and insured. Moreover, our travel professionals have extensive training from both the Cruise Line International Association (“CLIA”) – the association that oversees the cruise industry – and from our cruise line partners. Cruise Holidays of Alexandria has earned Commodore status with Cunard Line, the highest status a travel company can earn in Cunard’s offered training, and is a recommended travel provider for Cunard. Our travel professionals all have earned at least Accredited Cruise Counselor Status with CLIA, with some having earned Master Cruise Counselor and Luxury Cruise Counselor status.
Unlike impersonal online providers with which you may be familiar, Cruise Holidays of Alexandria is not just an online provider of travel. We are a small privately-owned company that offers our clients the personalized attention that unfortunately is lacking by many in our industry. When you deal with us, we will know who you are and where you are traveling each and every time you call. You will work with one counselor, and will not speak to somebody new each time you call us. Moreover, we are available to you 7 days per week. Even when our store is closed, we forward our business phones to our cell phone so that you can reach us after hours when you need to. We are dedicated to the highest levels of service, and we hope when you deal with us, you will agree.
We look forward to working with you. Please call us toll free at 866-368-7327, or hit the "quote" button below and tell us how we can assist. When you contact us online, we will be in touch with you promptly.
