SUNNYVALE, Calif. – August 3, 2022 – Cruisebound and Uplift, the leading Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) solution for the world’s top travel and retail brands, have created an exclusive partnership to offer customers payment installments on all bookings.

Cruisebound is focused on bringing the joy of cruising to all travelers. Customers can easily book cruises with every major cruise company online versus through a traditional method. Cruisebound customers can book cruises for every vacation need from family-friendly trips to a once-in-a-lifetime Alaska adventure – Cruisebound makes it easy to arrange and manage all types of cruise vacations.

This new payment offering provides customers the benefit of reserving cruise experiences by spreading the cost over easy monthly payments. Additionally, through Uplift’s pay over time option, customers can easily upgrade to a larger cabin class, add on-board amenities or shore excursions for only a few extra dollars a month.

Uplift partners with over 200 of the world’s leading airlines, cruise lines, resorts and other major travel providers to help more consumers make meaningful purchases and experience the travel that they deserve.
