Visa and Pullmantur Cruises announce a strategic alliance designed to facilitate a cashless travel experience during vacations. This allows passengers to make all their payments with Visa: from the moment they book their trip to the purchase of any service on board or ashore.
Under this agreement, passengers can enjoy their experience with greater peace of mind, as they will not have to worry about calculating the exact amount of cash they need to carry, checking the change for purchases and consumption at their destinations, or having to exchange foreign currency – if necessary – to carry out their transactions in the different countries they visit during their itinerary.
Furthermore, in order to facilitate a cashless lifestyle on board, passengers can link their Visa card to their onboard credit account to make payments conveniently: spa services, excursions, shopping in the malls, etc.
As Carmen Alonso, General Manager of Visa in Spain, explains, “The new traveler profile is characterized by being more digitally savvy and seeking a unique and distinctive experience on every trip. Visa, as a payment facilitator, maintains a strong commitment to security, comfort, and convenience for the user. With this initiative, we are advancing our strategy to facilitate Visa payments from anywhere, complementing the travel experience that Pullmantur Cruises offers its customers by including fast, convenient, and secure payment methods in each of the transactions they make during their voyage.”.
According to Richard J. Vogel, President & CEO of Pullmantur Cruises, thanks to this collaboration “with such a reputable company as VISA, we are helping our guests enjoy their holidays in a more relaxed way without having to worry about changing currency or calculating the cash they need for their vacation.”.
To promote this agreement, both companies have launched a raffle for eight cruises for two people. This raffle will run from now until the end of 2018 and is open to Pullmantur Cruises passengers who pay with Visa.
