The enhanced policy will be applied retroactively to all existing, qualifying standard bookings that have been paid in full within the 100 per cent penalty period.

Advisors can expect payments to be processed within the next 30 days for standard bookings and in the coming months for applicable Explorer Fare bookings.

The new scheme comes after the line finalised an order with Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri for the construction of a third ocean ship.
