There is no better feeling than knowing your next holiday is organised, secured and booked. We all know that familiar sigh of relief that happens when the planning stage is over and the time to get excited is just beginning.

When you have a specific cruise holiday in mind, whether its cruise line, sailing date, or cruise ship, early booking can be essential to make sure you get exactly what you want. Pre-registration is an even earlier stage that we offer to provide you with the extra security of getting your desired holiday.

When popular cruise lines such as P&O Cruises or Cunard first launch their new collections, the response can be huge - meaning that demand is high and new cruises get snapped up quickly. Want to find out how to secure your first pick holiday before it’s sold out? Read on for our top tips on pre-registration and early booking.

What does pre-register mean?

Pre-registration means that you register your interest with us regarding the release of new cruises from a specific cruise line. Once you have filled out a form on our website with your interest and contact details, we make sure that you are contacted by one of our cruise experts the moment that further information is released.

What can you tell me in advance?

As soon as we have the information we will be able to inform you of dates, itineraries, and prices.

Will I get the cruise I want?

In the past, Planet Cruise has had a 100% success rate of booking our customers on the cruise that they wanted. When you plan ahead, not only are you more likely to get the right cruise for you, but also the cabin*. Choosing your cabin early means that you can have a wide range of choices when it comes to your base onboard. Near the spa or near the buffet? The choice is yours.

*Please note that choice of cabin depends on your fare code, if in doubt, ask your agent when you first enquire.

What are the benefits of pre-registration?

Besides getting the ball rolling on your next holiday and having something to look forward to, there is also the chance that you will be able to benefit from early bird booking offers. Many cruise lines will run promotions which can range from reduced deposits, free onboard credit, free port parking etc. Keep posted for Planet Cruise exclusive offers on early booking. 





What if I am on a cruise when pre-registration opens?

If you are due to be at sea when future cruise collections are released, you can still register your interest for your next cruise holiday. Many cruise lines will now let you pre-register onboard, just visit the future cruise or cruise sales area onboard for more information. What’s better than ending your current holiday knowing that your next one is already in motion?
