Who gets what - who is eligible for interline

Detailed below is the full list of all our FAB TRAVEL INTERLINE AGREEMENTS some of which now permit your non-airline friends to cruise with you at the same incredible interline discounts.

But did you also know that not just your parents, but in many cases your spouse and dependent kids can travel without you? No need for Christmas presents this year, just a card telling them what awesome discounts they are entitled to.

I've added summaries at the top of this message and the full agreements are below. In all cases, the cruise operator makes the determination of who is, and who isn't eligible. Their decision is final. Verification of employment is always required. In most cases, the best form of ID is a current staff or retired ID. Otherwise, a document stating years of service is normally the minimum acceptable to most operators.

Any questions please text James 0430 200 535 or email james@kvi.travel
