Do you reside in Great Britain, Australia or any of the twelve European Union countries: Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Finland?  If so, you can
save on your cruise holiday!


The US dollar exchange rate is to your benefit and the savings are clear

when you convert to your currency!


Here is how it works:

 

We are not your typical travel agent.

 

We offer good prices by strictly using the Internet, and only e-mail to handle bookings.

 

If you like saving money and don’t require having to physically see, touch, and speak with an agent in person,

then we may be right for you.

 

You may have questions with enough depth and detail that are not covered at our web site and your comfort zone

requires more personal contact.  You could best be served by your neighborhood travel agent. Our web site and

services are geared toward guests who know exactly what they want, and are comfortable communicating

primarily via e-mail. You should also be confident, familiar and have some experience working with internet

travel companies similar to Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity.

 

English is our official language. We do not have foreign speaking service agents.

  • You will be quoted a price in US dollars for a specific cabin category on a specific sailing.

  • All payments must be by credit card and are converted to US dollars.

  • Your credit card statement will reflect direct billing from the cruise line.

If you need air and will be departing from outside the US or Canada, regardless of your destination, you

will have to book your airline tickets separately - we can provide the cruise only.

 

Duel confirmation of your booking.

In addition to our emailed or faxed confirmation of your booking, we also provide the cruise lines

confirmation number as well as the phone number of the cruise line to do advanced registration and

you can use that phone number should you wish to verify your booking directly with them.

 

Procedures

1. You can book your cruise online using your Visa, Mastercard or the American Express credit card.

    Your credit card company will automatically convert your local currency to U.S. dollars;

 

-If you send us an e-mail and do not receive a reply, it is likely that you are among an alarming number of

people who have entered their e-mail address incorrectly in their mail software. So, be sure to check and check

again that you have entered your e-mail address correctly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Your cruise ship's sailing date must be at least 45 days from the date of your reservation to allow us enough time to properly process your booking and ship documents overseas. NO P.O. Box addresses.

Your overseas address must be entered correctly to avoid any problems with document delivery.

 

2. You will receive an e-mail confirmation ( subject to collection of funds ),from Cruise Direct Online.

 

3. All reservations are subject to the successful receipt of payment by the cruise line. All reservations are subject to the cruise line's payment and cancellation policy. All guests should read thoroughly the cruise lines brochure for details BEFORE making any reservations or payments.

 

4. You are responsible for having the proper Proof of Citizenship, United States Entry Visa's or other required documentation, and Photo ID. Failure to bring with you the proper documentation may result in denied boarding of your cruise ship. If you are denied boarding, you will not get a refund of your cruise vacation.

Visa requirements vary from country to country. If you are not sure whether you will need a visa to enter any of the countries you will visit on your cruise, please consult your Department of State to verify any specific visa requirements. Visas are sometimes slow or difficult to obtain, so this issue is best dealt with prior to booking.

The U.S. Department of State recently passed a law requiring citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries to present machine-readable passports when entering the U.S. without a visa. Citizens of these countries (shown below) who travel without a machine-readable passport will be required to have a U.S. visa based on the following effective dates:

  • Citizens of Belgium have been required to present valid, machine-readable passports since May 15, 2003, in order to enter the U.S. on the visa waiver program (without a U.S. visa).
  • Citizens of Australia, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom will be required to have valid, machine-readable passports as of October 26, 2004, in order to enter the U.S on the visa waiver program (without a U.S. visa).

As of the effective dates above, holders of non-machine-readable passports will need a valid passport and a valid U.S. visa to enter the U.S. for cruises departing the U.S., or a valid multiple-entry visa for cruises that depart and return to the U.S.

SPECIAL NOTE: Alaska, Hawaii and Canada/New England Cruises: Due to stricter Canadian entry requirements, immigration officials have advised that citizens from certain countries will require a visa in order to visit or transit Canada. Guests who are not US or Canadian citizens may check the following web site for a listing of restricted nationalities, to determine if a visitor visa is necessary: www.cic.gc.ca.

Subsequently, all guests belonging to nationalities that require a visa to enter Canada may be denied boarding in if they do not possess such a visa. If you are a holder of a US Alien Resident Card or holder of a Canadian Residency Permit you may be exempt. Please note, visa requirements vary by country and are subject to change. As always, guests traveling abroad are urged to contact their local immigration office and/or respective embassy or consulate to determine the entry requirements for their cruise destinations. You and only you are responsible for having the proper documentation.

IMPORTANT

Regulations regarding Visa and Passport Requirements are subject to change without notice, so

all travelers are urged to check with the U.S. Department of State for the latest up-to-date requirements.

Do not rely on just the documentation information found here as it may not be up to date.

5. We will send your documents to you via United States Post Office Global Priority Mail. There is $12.00 US charge for postage and handling. That amount will be added to your payment for the cruise.

6. Special Note: Travel insurance is NOT available from us.

7. You must make your own arrangements for transportation to and from the ship.
