Will I automatically receive a new confirmation once a payment has been made?

You will receive a notification in advance of payment via email and will also receive a deposit confirmation once payment has been processed.

What if a payment doesn’t go through or I miss a payment?

If a payment doesn’t go through, you will receive an email notification and the monthly payments will be recalculated based on the number of months remaining prior to balance due.

How is the amount taken each month calculated?

The amount is calculated by taking the total fare and dividing the number of months prior to final balance due date to define the payment schedule. The payments are shown in the booking confirmation at the time of booking and the following communication during your plan.

Can I pay different amounts each month?

No, pay monthly splits the fare equally across the plan.

Pay Monthly

Our Pay Monthly scheme gives you the option to spread the cost of your holiday (less your deposit) over equal monthly payments when you book directly with us. It’s an effortless way to pay and lets you simply look forward to your holiday!

	How does it work?
	How does it work?

1. Booking your holiday

After paying a deposit, you’ll be given the option of paying for the balance of your holiday in evenly divided monthly instalments.

2. When are the payments?

The payments will be spread between the time of booking and the full balance due date, meaning you’ll have months (and months!) to pay for your holiday gradually.

3. First installment

The first payment won’t be taken any earlier than 28 days after you sign up.

4. Final payment

The final payment is due no later than 90 days prior to the beginning of your holiday.

Here’s an example based on booking a 14 night holiday with us in August 2024 that departs in January 2026, secured using our current 10% deposit. This results in 14 equal monthly payments as your holiday must be paid in full 90 days before you depart:

Payments	Costs
Total holiday cost	£1699 per person
10% deposit payable at time of booking	£170 per person
14 monthly payments	£109 per person*

These Terms and Conditions apply to the P&O Cruises Pay Monthly Payment Plan (“Pay Monthly”). By agreeing to use Pay Monthly, the guest agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions are supplemental to the P&O Cruises Booking Conditions (“Booking Conditions”) which can be accessed on www.pocruises.com. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Booking Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall prevail.

To be eligible for Pay Monthly, the guest must register a valid debit or credit card with his/her P&O Cruises booking. The guest or P&O Cruises may cancel Pay Monthly at any time prior to the normal balance due date, in which case all monies paid will be retained by P&O Cruises and applied to the booking. If the booking is cancelled by the guest, all monies minus the deposit will be returned. If the booking is cancelled after the balance due date, by which point Pay Monthly as applicable to that booking should already have completed, cancellation charges will be payable as set out in the Booking Conditions.

The guest must make the usual initial deposit payment against their booking. Equal monthly payments will be calculated and these will be charged to the debit or credit card registered to the lead booking guest until the balance due date. If the full remaining balance is not evenly divisible then the guest’s final payment amount may vary slightly.

The monthly payments will automatically be recalculated if adjustments are made to the booking (e.g. adding or removing packages or transfers). No interest or finance charges apply to Pay Monthly.

The guest hereby authorises P&O Cruises to charge each payment to the debit or credit card associated with the guest’s booking. If the card on file is declined future monthly payments will be recalculated to include the declined payment. The guest agrees to provide P&O Cruises with a valid debit or credit card, and P&O Cruises reserves the right to cancel Pay Monthly and retain monies paid until they are applied to the booking at the balance due date, if a suitable replacement card is not provided.

Guests may choose to make additional payments towards the full remaining balance, or prepay all of the remaining balance at any time without penalty by calling us on 03453 555 111 (local call charges apply) [AVDB1] during opening hours: Mon-Fri: 8am to 8pm; Saturday: 9am to 5pm; Sunday: 10am to 4pm.
