UPMARKET small-ship cruise operator
Compagnie du Ponant has announced a
simplified fare structure, in which cruise prices
will include all meals, gratuities, port charges,
taxes, fees and alcoholic drinks.
The company said that under the new plans
the only additional charges passengers would
incur would be optional excursions, transfers
and personal expenses such as airfares.
The change is effective immediately for all
new bookings, with the all inclusive offering
valid for all ships and itineraries.
Cabins will feature fully stocked mini-bars
and 24 hour room service and fares also
include a welcome cocktail party and all
onboard entertainment options.
At this stage the new structure has only been
announced in North America, and it’s not clear
what the local implications of the move are.
Compagnie du Ponant is represented in
Australia by Travel The World.
