Transfer Your Cruise Booking
Clients often ask me if it’s better to book their cruise direct or with an agent.
The answer is simple.
Travel agents have access to and arrange for private sales all the time. You will never pay more than what a cruise line is offering. In most cases, you’ll save money and receive exclusive value added amenities like shipboard credits, prepaid gratuities, wine, cabin upgrades, onboard coupon booklets and much more.
The biggest benefit is the ability to work with a cruise specialist and avoid long hold times to a call center. We can tailor your cruise experience by assisting with pre and post hotel arrangements, flights with special cruise fares, travel insurance, private shore excursions and more. To benefit from these extra perks and personal travel assistance, you must book or transfer your reservation to us.
If you transfer the booking to us, then you get to keep the same cabin, same booking number, and the same rate as you have with the cruise line.
To find out if your reservation qualifies for additional amenities, email the guest copy of your cruise line confirmation to veia@hensleytravel.com
The cruise lines have made the process to transfer your booking over to travel agencies fairly easy. Simply find your cruise below and fill out the form (if required). As soon as your booking as been successfully transferred, we will automatically add your special amenity.

IMPORTANT:
- If you live outside of the US, it may not be possible to transfer your reservation to a travel agency outside of your own country due to various promotion restrictions and currencies. Send us a message with any questions and we’ll be happy to review your cruise booking for you to see if you are eligible to work with us.
- Special perks and amenities are available on upgraded cabins only of cruises that are 7+ nights. If you’ve booked a short weekend cruise in the least expensive cabin (inside or ocean view) we likely will not be able to add anything extra to your reservation other than our stellar customer service.
- Should the price of your cruise decrease or the promotion change after your booking has been transfer, the agency incentive may be voided.
To find out if your reservation qualifies for additional amenities, email the guest copy of your cruise line confirmation to veia@hensleytravel.com
