Why World Explorer is worth a look

World Explorer is worth reviewing because it brings together offers from suppliers that appeal to different budgets and travel preferences. A single event includes luxury cruise lines, premium brands, mainstream cruise companies, river cruise operators, expedition specialists and land vacation providers.

Some World Explorer benefits may also be combinable with a cruise line’s public promotions. This means a qualifying traveller may receive additional value beyond the cruise line’s advertised offer. Examples may include onboard credit, a reduced deposit, a public fare promotion or another eligible benefit.

Combinability is not automatic. It varies by supplier, sailing, accommodation category, fare type and booking conditions. The details should be confirmed at the time of booking. Offers are also subject to availability and may change without notice.

For this reason, the advertised benefit is a starting point rather than the complete value calculation. The right comparison includes the total fare, what is included, applicable taxes and fees, accommodation category, onboard credit and any current public promotion.

Which offer is best for you?

The highest advertised dollar amount is not necessarily the best deal for every traveller.

A $5,220 CAD suite savings offer may be valuable for someone considering a qualifying Regent voyage. However, another traveller may receive greater practical value from a lower onboard credit, a reduced deposit, a better itinerary or inclusions that match their needs.

A Travel Advisor should compare:

• Destination and itinerary

• Sailing date and voyage length

• Ship and onboard experience

• Suite, stateroom or cabin category

• Dining, beverage, Wi-Fi and excursion inclusions

• Onboard credit and how it can be used

• Current public promotions

• Deposit and cancellation conditions

• Total vacation cost in Canadian dollars

Expedia Cruises Vacation Consultants can compare cruise lines, itineraries and promotions in one conversation. Using a Vacation Consultant does not mean paying a higher cruise price than booking directly with the cruise line. The Consultant can help identify qualifying offers, confirm restrictions and review whether the overall package suits the traveller’s plans.
