Ways to save

    Pricebreakers
    Our Pricebreakers – early booking discounts – offer savings of between 5% and 45% at every grade on every cruise, depending on availability. The maximum Pricebreakers discount available varies by stateroom and grade on each cruise and is shown in the fare grid for each cruise. We have set aside a number of staterooms on every cruise and these are available with the maximum Pricebreakers discount as shown in the fare grids. Once these staterooms have been sold, the price charged will revert to either a higher Pricebreakers discounted fare or to the full brochure fare, and we reserve the right to adjust the tariff fares at any time. Since these Pricebreakers discounts can be withdrawn at any time and since prices may rise, it really does pay to book early. The online fare includes the pricebreakers discount, as well as the online booking discount.

    Share Savers
    A number of staterooms on our ships contain extra beds and if three or four adults book as a party and share one of these staterooms, then our Share Savers can save you money. On selected cruises the third and fourth person can travel free! In twin staterooms these extra beds are upper pullman berths or sofa beds. The first two adults pay the adult fare and for the third and fourth person in an extra bed you deduct the Share Savers reduction from the adult tariff fare and then deduct the Pricebreakers reduction for the grade concerned. It is, however, advisable to book early as only a limited number of these extra beds will be available for sale on each cruise. This does not apply to AE Grade Suites on Ventura which are based on 4 full paying adult passengers.

    Combination Savers
    Take two or more consecutive cruises to enjoy an extended holiday and our Combination Savers will give you a 10% reduction on the combined adult tariff less Pricebreakers discount. Don’t forget, if you book early you can save even more because our Pricebreakers are combinable with these Combination Savers. This 10% reduction does not apply to either cruise if one or both of the cruises are of 4 nights or less in duration, a world voyage, part of a world voyage or an Artemis Connoisseur Cruise. Call us on 0845 3 555 333 or contact your travel agent for combination savers.

    Connoisseur Savings
    On Artemis enjoy savings of up to 56% when you choose one of her three Connoisseur Cruises. In addition to saving up to 45% off the tariff fare with our Pricebreakers, an additional 20% Connoisseur Saving has been deducted from the Pricebreaker fare, offering total savings of up to 56%. Connoisseur Savings are only applicable to Connoisseur Cruises P815/816, P818/819 and P904/905. The Connoisseur Saving is not combinable with the Combination Saver and we reserve the right to withdraw the Connoisseur Saving at any time.

    Group Savers
    For details of the special arrangements we can provide for groups of all types - from clubs and associations to corporate incentives and conferences - see your travel agent or call us for more information.

    Family Savers
    If you’re travelling with children or teenagers our Family Savers on Aurora, Oceana, Oriana and Ventura offer generous reductions - or in some cases free children’s places - utilising the extra beds that are contained in a number of staterooms on our ships. In twin staterooms these extra beds are upper pullman berths (except for Aurora grades OA, KA, JD, IB, IC and IE where they are sofa beds) and in staterooms, junior mini-suites, mini-suites and suites these are sofa beds. To calculate the family fare, the first two occupants pay the adult fare and you deduct the Family Savers reduction for a child/teenager (aged 2 to 16) from the adult tariff fare and then deduct the Pricebreakers reduction for the grade concerned. Aurora, Oriana, Oceana and Ventura have a number of staterooms that can accommodate a cot for an infant aged over 6 months and under 2 years. In these cases you simply deduct the Family Savers reduction for an infant from the tariff fares for Auroras and Orianas OF grade staterooms and Oceanas and Ventura’s OH grade staterooms. The resultant price will apply regardless of your chosen stateroom grade.

    Please be aware that Pricebreakers discounts do not apply to infant fares. There are limited infant/child and teen places available on all cruises. It is advisable to book early if intending to take advantage of the Family Savers offer as only a limited number of these extra beds are available for use by children on each cruise. Please note no Family Savers are given on the first two occupants of a twin stateroom or on single staterooms and we regret that we are unable to carry babies under the age of six months (one year for Aurora cruises R810, R814, R819, R823, R902 and R911, Oceana cruises E827, E906, E928 and E006, Oriana cruises X802, X818, X917 and X920 and Ventura cruises N818/A, N906/A, N925 and N006). Family Savers do not apply on Arcadia or Artemis, our child free ships.
    Please note that only a limited number of staterooms will be available for Family Savers and Share Savers. Once this number has been reached Family and Share Savers will still be possible but at a higher fare or reduced level of discount.


    Guarantees
    When you or your travel agent come to make a reservation you may be offered the guarantee of a stateroom grade, rather than a specific stateroom number. This is because we know from past experience that a small number of passengers will be compelled to cancel their arrangements, thus leaving the accommodation vacant. Accepting a guarantee means that you have a firm booking and can go ahead with your holiday plans in the same way as if you had accepted a specific stateroom number at the outset. When we allocate a stateroom number you can rest assured you will be given a stateroom of the type you have booked, or, in some instances, of a higher rate, though it may be situated on a different deck to that shown on the deck plan for the grade guaranteed. The fare you have been quoted will, however, remain unchanged.

    Single Occupancy
    We are happy to sell a number of twin Staterooms for single occupancy at an additional supplement to the twin stateroom rate. The following stateroom grades will be available for single occupancy:

    March 2008-March 2009:
    Arcadia DA - OG grades
    Artemis IA - NC grades
    Aurora IA - OF grades excluding KA and OA
    Oceana JA - OH grades
    Oriana KB - OF grades
    Ventura JA - OH grades

    March 2009-March 2010
    Arcadia DA - OH grades
    Artemis IA - NC grades
    Aurora IA - OG grades excluding KA and OA
    Oceana JA - OH grades
    Oriana KB - OF grades
    Ventura JA - OH grades

    On all ships other grades of stateroom may also be sold for single occupancy but at the full Stateroom fare i.e. twice the fare for the grade concerned.
    Please note that the supplement should be added to the adult tariff fare and then the Pricebreakers reduction deducted. You should also note that only a limited number of staterooms will be available for single occupancy. Once this number has been reached, a limited amount of single occupancy staterooms may still be available at a higher fare.
