Discerning Traveller says it used the COVID travel downturn in business to develop its “groundbreaking, first-to-market feature”.
“Customers now have the flexibility to choose between talking to an experienced travel consultant or self-book their itinerary online – the choice is all theirs,” the company said.
To celebrate the new tech, during the month of November clients can book obligation-free without upfront financial commitment. Any deposit will only be due on the date specified on their invoice. And customers booking online for 2022, 2023 or 2024, will receive an additional $100 per person discount on their cruise, if they provide proof of being fully vaccinated.
The no-deposit cabin holds offer is valid until 30 November 2021, and with select cruise partners.
