My Kind of Cruise

Travel you can really trust

Your money is safe and secure with UK based financial protection 100% guaranteed by the Travel Trust Association. 20 years of travel industry knowledge and your double layered financial protection of Trust Account and Safe Seat Guarantee Insurance Policy.

You work hard for your holiday and It's really important to know that when you book, your money is going exactly where you want it to go - and with My Kind of Cruise you can book with confidence. From our super secure card processing technology, through to the independently protected trust account we use to do business and our safe seat guarantee insurance policy, you can rest assured that your financial protection is our number one priority and your hard earned cash is always where it should be - but what does this mean in practice. It may seem strange, but sometimes when you deal with an agent, your money isn't always used in the way it should be. Going from you, to the cruise ship or tour operator to pay for the deposit or balance of your holiday should be a straightforward procedure, but unscrupulous or just plain under-protected agents can divert this cash into their own accounts to pay for many other things, that, in the event of a financial squeeze such as an unexpected bankruptcy or global pandemic, may end up making your holiday anything other than plain sailing.

Our secure card payment technology, in partnership with pay360 and Capita, ensures that your money is 100% secure and encrypted to the highest standards of data protection. But that's not all- from here your money is guaranteed and protected by the UK based Travel Trust Association (TTA), part of the Travel Network Group. Ring-fenced banking ensures your money is safely deposited, and then released, on time, directly to the operators with whom we book your holiday, signed off not only by us, but by the trustees of the TTA, and using the Travel Protection Plan to guarantee every penny is secure and accounted for.

With a double layer of protection, including our Trust Account and a Safe Seat Guarantee insurance policy, your money is always protected in the unlikely event of a default of any airline, cruise operator or travel agent and will be returned to you, in full, up to £11,000 per passenger, guaranteed by our membership of the TTA- something that ABTA cannot provide.

So the message is clear: Check carefully and book with My Kind of Cruise for complete confidence that your cruising cash is safe, then relax and start dreaming about your holiday!
