US-based cruise reservations operated by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has expanded its strategic collaboration with PayPal Holdings as a checkout option for all.
In a press statement, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) says that travellers looking to cruise with Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, can benefit from the ease, simplicity, and security of paying with PayPal when booking their next travel experience.
The statement says that customers who pay with PayPal will enjoy a 43% faster checkout than those using traditional checkout. In addition, PayPal has shown to help increase conversion by an average of 84% among customers who pay online for travel.
In addition to offering travellers the ability to checkout with PayPal, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings says it will continue to leverage PayPal Braintree for credit-card processing for both reservations and all shipboard payments.
“At PayPal, we’re making travel more seamless for consumers by deepening our relationship with well-loved global travel brands. With Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, we’re offering people a convenient way to book their dream cruises all the way from reservations to experiences on high seas,” says Suzan Kereere, President, Global Markets, PayPal.
“The implementation of PayPal marks a major milestone in our payments acceptance journey. At Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, we are committed to providing guests with more variety and more value through elevated offerings,” says Harry Sommer, President and CEO at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
“The addition of PayPal as an easy and secure option to pay for their cruise is a key contributor to providing our guests with the best vacation and experience possible,” says Sommer.
