Royal Caribbean and Affirm to bring flexible and transparent payment options to travellers in UK and Canada

UK and Canadian holidaymakers booking with Royal Caribbean can now spread the cost of their cruise over time without compounding interest or late fees, following a new partnership with payment network Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM).

With the summer holiday season fast approaching, today’s announcement gives travellers more flexibility to plan and pay for their next getaway, whether it is a family break in the Mediterranean or a bucket list Caribbean holiday.

Royal Caribbean, one of the world’s leading cruise brands, offers holidays to hundreds of destinations across the globe, from dreamy European breaks to tropical island adventures. Through this partnership, UK and Canadian travellers will now have more choice in how they pay for their holidays.

By selecting Affirm at checkout, approved Royal Caribbean customers in the UK and Canada will be able to split the cost of their booking into manageable payments. Customers will see the full cost upfront and will only ever pay what they agree to, with no late fees or hidden charges.
