PREMIER'S BEST PRICE AND
EARLY BOOKING PRICE GUARANTEE
Premier's management is now in our 45th year of selling cruise vacations.
Premier is one of the largest travel agencies specializing in the sale of river and small ship cruise vacations. We've built our reputation on professionalism, remarkable service and an ability to provide exceptional values.
Our Guarantee.
While we know that many people shop only for price, we do think that there are many other very important elements that need to be considered before you select your river or small ship cruise vacation (No matter what the price is, it's a lot of money). At Premier, we will make sure you understand ALL the subtle differences between each cruise line and even each ship — and there are many.
While our service and expertise is truly unmatched by any other travel agency, we will also guarantee you have the best possible value. Our "Best Price Guarantee" is available to travelers who have booked or intend to book a cruise with Premier. It's really very simple: if you find a lower published rate through another website or direct mail piece prior to booking or within 14 days of your booking, we'll match or beat it, AND give you $100 in Onboard Cash! NEED WE SAY ANY MORE?
You must make a request for a price adjustment. If your request is approved, we will match or beat the rate, or if you have already paid in full, we will refund the difference.
To submit and request the Best Price Guarantee for your booking, you must call (or email) Premier River Cruises at 1.855.255.1200, or by email to PriceGuaranteeRequest@PremierRiverCruises.com, within 72 hours of your purchase and provide the following information:
• | Booking confirmation number |
• | Name |
• | Telephone number with area code |
• | Cruise line name |
• | Departure date, ship name, price and category currently booked |
• | Complete offer details and company name/Web address (URL) reflecting the lower rate you found. |
Book Early Low Price Assurance Program.
River and small ship cruising are the fastest growing elements of the cruise industry. Because of this, many river and small ship cruises sell out very quickly. Unlike mega-size ship ocean cruises, you MUST book almost a year in advance to enjoy prime season sailings between May and September. The obvious benefit of booking early is you pick the best cabin location and get the BEST price. Yet some people are still reluctant to book early and are very often disappointed when their preferred cruise is SOLD OUT.
Many people have taken mega-size ship ocean cruises before know that if you wait unitl the "last minute," they can sometimes get a better price. Because river and small ship cruising is so popular and the ships only hold 150 or so guests (small ships approximately 100 to 350 guests), this is just not the case. So, to encourage our customers to book early, Premier River Cruises now offers a Price Assurance program that removes any risk of booking early.
What that means to you is that you can now book early with confidence. Should the cruise line lower the price of your cruise departure, we guarantee you'll get the lower price and we'll refund the difference to you. No strings, no hoops to jump through, just good common sense. No other travel agency specializing in river and small ship cruise vacations does this. It's just another reason you should book with Premier, the best travel agency in American to arrange your river and small ship cruise vacation.
