SCENIC and APT are among the latest cruise and tour operators to provide agent-friendly options for clients impacted by uncertainty around the global COVID-19 crisis.
APT has today announced an extension of the terms of its deferral policies and fees for international bookings, with the changes effective immediately.
For deposited bookings, APT guests are being given the option of deferring travel until later in 2020, or transfer to another destination for travel this year before the final payment date, with a $250pp deferral fee.
Clients who purchased APT’s “Deposit Cancellation Peace of Mind Policy” will not be charged any additional fees.
For fully paid APT bookings, between 100 and 31 days prior to departure the company is giving clients the option of deferring travel to later in 2020, or transferring to another 2020 destination, with a reduced $1,000 per person deferral fee – rather than the normal 50-100% cancellation cost.
Additional airfare and third party fees may apply, with the new policies valid for APT, Travelmarvel, Botanica and TravelGlo trips.
Scenic has also updated its transfer/cancellation policy for existing 2020 guests departing on or after 01 Jun or those considering a 2020 cruise or tour.
Effective immediately, guests will have the option up to 30 days prior to departure, to transfer to an alternate departure without penalty from Scenic.
Clients booked on Scenic’s river and ocean cruise products can rebook onto another cruise, while land customers can transfer to another land trip or a Scenic ocean or river cruise.
