* Conditions

Offer Terms & Conditions – TravelManagers Online Booking Bonus

Receive a TravelManagers bonus of $100 per booking on Mini Suite and Balcony cabins, or $50 per booking on Oceanview and Inside cabins, when booking this 15-Night Sydney to Auckland voyage online using promo code H728 .

This exclusive online-only TravelManagers bonus applies to new bookings submitted via our 👉 Online Booking Form  👈. The bonus is provided by TravelManagers and is applied after booking confirmation, separate to the cruise fare.

The bonus applies per booking (not per person) and is valid for cabins booked on a twin, triple, or quad share basis. A single booking refers to one stateroom reservation, regardless of the number of guests occupying the cabin. For example, four guests sharing a quad cabin constitute one booking and will receive one TravelManagers bonus. The bonus also applies to single-occupancy bookings where the fare is charged at 200% of the twin-share rate.

This offer is valid for new bookings only and is not combinable with any other promotion, bonus, discount, or special offer.

The TravelManagers bonus is exclusive to online bookings submitted through our secure Online Booking Form and is not available for bookings made by phone, email, or via any third-party travel agent.

The bonus applies only to bookings made at fares equal to or higher than those advertised at the time of booking. Should a lower fare be released after a booking is made, clients who choose to cancel and rebook at the lower fare will forfeit the TravelManagers bonus. Likewise, any change to an existing booking after the bonus has been applied will void the offer. This includes, but is not limited to, rebooking to a different fare type or cabin category, reducing the number of passengers in the cabin, or switching to a different promotional offer.

Princess Plus & Premier Upgrades

Both passengers 1 and 2 in the cabin must upgrade together, and the upgrade must apply for the entire duration of the cruise voyage. Partial upgrades or single-passenger upgrades are not permitted. Prices are correct as at 22 July 2025 and are subject to change without notice.

Please note that the TravelManagers bonus is non-transferable and cannot be reinstated if forfeited. All general booking terms and cruise fare conditions also apply. This offer may be withdrawn at any time without notice.

All deposits are non-refundable.

When applying a Princess Future Cruise Deposit (FCD), an additional non-refundable deposit of $100 per person is required.

Please note that if you wish to change a fare that has already been booked and confirmed with a deposit — including, but not limited to, switching to a lower fare or rebooking under a new promotion — this will require the original booking to be cancelled, resulting in the loss of the deposit, and a new booking to be made at the updated fare.

All bookings are subject to Princess Cruises’ Passage Contract as well as TravelManagers’ Terms and Conditions, which are available on request.

Please note that cruise fares are not live and may change at any time without notice. For this reason, it is essential to request a quote to confirm current pricing and availability.

Conditions apply. Cruise fares are cruise-only, per person, in AUD, in complete twin accommodation, inclusive of all discounts, taxes, government fees, and charges (which are subject to change), based on the lead cabin category in that stateroom type on the cheapest fare type (Princess standard fare), unless specified otherwise. Surcharges apply to upgrade to higher stateroom categories and higher fare types. Fares advertised are available at the time of advertising (22 April 2025); however, availability on some cruises is limited and may sell out without notice. Once sold out, the fares or cabins may no longer be available. Valid for new bookings only and not combinable with any other offer. All offers are subject to availability. Some Oceanview and Balcony staterooms have obstructed views; some Mini-Suites have windows only. Single supplements apply. Onboard credit is per cabin, in AUD, on selected itineraries only. Onboard credit is not transferable, not redeemable for cash, and cannot be used at the medical centre or casino. Advertised fares may change or be withdrawn at any time without notice. Conditions may apply when using non-commissionable and commissionable future cruise credits. The itineraries listed are not guaranteed. TravelManagers reserves the right to correct any unintentional errors or omissions of any kind without obligation or compensation.
