Expedia Group, a global powerhouse in travel technology, has partnered with Flex Pay to introduce flexible payment solutions for cruise bookings across the United States and Canada. This initiative extends to five of its major brands—Expedia Cruises, Expedia.com, Travelocity.com, Orbitz.com, and Cheaptickets.com—offering travelers greater financial flexibility when planning their voyages. Through this collaboration, customers can access Flex Pay, an advanced Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) service from Upgrade, which simplifies payments by breaking costs into manageable monthly installments. With availability spanning over 750 travel and retail brands, this feature empowers travelers to enjoy their dream cruises without immediate financial strain.
This development builds upon an established financing option previously known as Uplift, now rebranded as Flex Pay, allowing travelers to embark on remarkable cruise journeys while keeping their budgets in check. Whether setting sail to the Caribbean, navigating the Mediterranean, or experiencing scenic river cruises in Europe, Expedia Group’s diverse cruise portfolio ensures options for every type of traveler. With the introduction of Flex Pay, they can now book their dream cruise and spread out payments over time.
By partnering with leading financial institutions, Flex Pay has emerged as a frontrunner in cruise financing, introducing innovative solutions that make travel more accessible. Features such as no-interest financing have been shown to boost booking rates, increase conversions, and elevate average order values by 15-25%, making it easier for travelers to plan their vacations without financial stress.
Flex Pay enhances affordability and convenience, giving travelers the ability to book cruises with over 20 leading cruise lines featured on Expedia Group’s platform. This innovative payment solution empowers travelers to transform their dream getaways into reality by offering flexible financing options. With the ability to spread payments over a period of 3 to 24 months, Flex Pay makes it easier than ever to budget for an unforgettable cruise experience without the burden of paying the full amount upfront.
