The cruise transfer layer

Everycabinsailsfull.

When a guest can’t sail, their paid voyage doesn’t have to die. CruiseRelay hands it to a verified new traveler — identity-checked, fully documented, at the original fare. The published price is never touched.

  • Original fare — never discounted
  • Identity-verified new travelers
  • Notices, manifest, air and documents — handled

How it works

A statutory right, made real in practice

01

Plans change

A guest has to cancel — illness, a bereavement, an insurance claim. Today that paid voyage is usually simply lost.

02

The right to relay

In the EU/EEA, Package Travel Directive 2015/2302 art. 9 gives the guest a statutory right to transfer the trip to another person — not to cancel it.

03

A compliant handoff

CruiseRelay verifies the new traveler, files the notices, corrects the manifest and hands over the documents. The cabin sails full — at the original fare.

Right now, at sea

A cabin that would have sailed empty — sailing full

For cruise lines

Brand-safe. Agent-compatible. Zero new commission.

This is not a discount channel and it never touches your published price. It is a way to let a canceled, paid booking sail full — as a retained guest, not a lost fare.

Recovered revenue

A canceled sailing becomes a sailed guest — at the original fare, with price integrity intact.

Zero new commission

The relay runs in a closed channel you control. No new distribution cost, no agent discount.

Compliance handled

Bank-grade identity, statutory notices on a durable medium, manifest and documents — the execution layer the law leaves open.

Brand-controlled

Members-only, no public bargain rail, agent-compatible. You own the guest relationship end to end.
