At Cruises Direct, we are committed to our clients privacy and security. We will never pass on your personal details to anybody else. We believe your private details should be kept just that, and we guarantee that when you share confidential information with us it goes no further.

Although, from time to time, Cruises Direct or it's parent company, GO Holidays, may provide statistical information about sales, trading patterns and information on navigation techniques to reputable third parties, this will not include any direct personal information, identifying you as our customer.

 

Privacy Policy

Newsletter Joiners

People who want to receive any of our free weekly email newsletters and receive special member offers, need to provide us with their email address.

After you provide your email address once, we track your visits as you interact with the site. We do this using "cookies", which are small files your web browser places on your computer's hard drive. This ensures that when you next visit us we know who you are and recognises your email address so you automatically see the best prices when making an inquiry.

Member Profiles

When you make a booking with Cruises Direct or GO Holidays, we need to collect certain information so that we can process it. By information we mean your name, mailing address, email address, frequent traveller numbers, meal requirements, seating preferences and so on.

Member Profiles are password protected and all the personal information kept on our server can be checked and/or changed at any time by clicking Personal Profile on the homepage.

Credit Card Information

Cruises Direct under it's parent company GO Holidays, utilises a technology called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) including 128bit encryption. If you'd like to know more take a look at our site security policy.

Other Information

When you use our gift certificates you'll be providing details of people who may never have visited this site. Cruises Direct will not disclose the recipient addresses and will not send them any promotional information other than that specific product, ie the gift voucher.

Occasionally, we offer members incentives for referring new joiners to our newsletters. Should any recipient of our newsletter wish to unsubscribe, they can do so on our newsletter or by contacting our customer service department and will not receive any further promotional material from Cruises Direct.

Why collect Information?

Why we collect Personal Profiles on our members when they book:
Convenience and speed
Retaining your account information on our files means that when you shop with us again you don't need to re-enter all of your details every time. This makes the entire booking process simpler and faster.

To offer you a better product
To better understand what sort of travel experiences our clients are looking for, we sometimes ask them for extra information about themselves. Clients have the choice of providing this information to further personalise their experience with us. Any information shared with us remains completely confidential.
