Transferring an existing world cruise reservation to Vincent Vacations costs zero dollars, involves zero penalty fees, and does not alter your confirmed suite category, dining assignment, or locked-in fare. Instead, it unlocks valuable agency-exclusive privileges, including up to $1,000 USD in Signature Shipboard Credit, invitations to private cocktail receptions, complimentary private car shore events, and 24/7 dedicated advocacy from CLIA-certified Master Cruise Counselors.
The 30-Day Transfer Policy: How It Works Across Major Lines
Each luxury and premium cruise supplier operates a structured policy allowing guests to appoint a preferred travel agency after reserving directly on the cruise line's website, via a telephone reservationist, or while sailing onboard as a future cruise booking:
- Cunard Line: Direct reservations may be transferred to Vincent Vacations within 60 days of booking, provided the reservation is not yet paid in full. Past passenger Cunard World Club tier perks and promotions remain 100% active.
- Holland America Line: Allows transfers within 60 days of booking before final payment. Mariner Society loyalty days, early booking bonuses, and onboard spending credits transfer seamlessly.
- Princess Cruises: Reservations booked direct with Princess can be transferred within 60 days of initial deposit. Captain's Circle loyalty status and Princess Plus/Premier packages remain intact.
- Regent Seven Seas & Oceania Cruises: Must be requested within 30 days of booking date prior to final payment. Stacks with past guest loyalty discounts and referral savings.
- Silversea Cruises & Viking: Standard 30-day transfer policy from date of initial booking before final payment date.
