What Is A Book Onboard (BOB) And How Does It Work?

What is a Book Onboard?

BOB stands for Book On-Board and is used to describe the programme in which guests can book a future cruise whilst they are onboard a current cruise. Some cruise lines may refer to this as Future Cruise Booking but we refer to this collectively as B.O.B. 

When you book another cruise whilst on your cruise you can take advantage of discounts and offers available exclusively to those who book on-board (BOB). Discounts and offers are available from the cruise line and are combinable with the special offer provided by us. Whilst the cruise line offer is applied at the time of booking on board, the exclusive offer provided by Iglu Cruise is added upon your return when the booking is sent to us by the cruise line. In this way, we can continue to serve as your booking agent for the next cruise so you can continue to take advantage of all the benefits of booking with the UK’s #1 Cruise Travel Agency.

What can I book onboard?

Any cruise with the same cruise line. 

You will be able to choose from any future cruise that is available with the same cruise line, as you would booking a cruise on land. This can be a different ship, destination, or duration. You won’t be able to add any additional agent holiday extras like pre or post-cruise stays, parking, or custom land tours onboard but if you call us after you return from your cruise then we will be able to arrange these for you and add them to your booking as another benefit to booking with the UK’s #1 cruise agency.

When will I get my book onboard confirmation?

We will email you your booking confirmation once the cruise line sends us your booking. The time taken to send and process this varies from cruise line to cruise line but is usually up to 10 days after you return from your cruise. There may be additional processing times at our end depending on the discount or benefits applied to the booking. The email confirmation will be sent to the email address provided with the new booking at the Future Cruise Desk.
