The Royal Caribbean Group has announced it will be extending its new free cancellation policy amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
The pandemic has brought the travel industry to a halt with new restrictions, including Brits being banned from all but essential foreign travel.
A number of cruise lines have already been letting passengers change or cancel bookings for free, including Royal Caribbean which offered a 'cruise with confidence' policy.
This allowed customers to cancel any cruise - new or existing - that was setting sail until the 31st July 2020.
Now, the group has announced it will extend this to be valid on sailings until the 1st September 2020 .
This includes the group's biggest lines such as Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, and Azamara.
As part of the policy, passengers will be able to cancel at least 48 hours before they set sail.
When you cancel, you'll receive a Future Cruise Credit that can be used on any cruise that sails before the 31st December 2021, so you have a huge window to choose from for your alternative trip.
It's worth noting that this can be used on both new and existing cruise holiday bookings. You can find out more on the Royal Caribbean website.
Richard Fain, Royal Caribbean Group CEO, said: "Guests are reacting positively to our Cruise with Confidence policy because it enables them to make informed decisions and to better manage complicated travel plans during this unprecedented time of uncertainty."
He added: "We want our guests to feel they can safely keep their existing cruise bookings or schedule new sailings because this policy gives them more freedom and flexibility."
