How To Book


Booking your World Cruise with Cruise Holidays of Alexandria Luxury Cruise Counselors 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 To 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 2011 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 for securing a stateroom of your choice. After all, with a commitment of up to 103 days on the full World Cruise, you will want to get your first stateroom choice. 
 

Cancellation


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 latter than 121 days prior to your departure, you will receive a full refund of your deposit, less $50 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.

 We 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 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 assist you with 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.
