Avios cruises?

Any chance BA and Avios might partner with cruise lines? I’d rather spend my avios on a weeks experience vs a couple hours..

I was talking to a cruise expert about this last week.

He explained that huge numbers of cruises are effectively dumped on the market because incidental spend is attractive and better than keeping a room empty. Avios could copy what Virgin Voyages did – offer cruise lines the chance to dump inventory without publicly trashing their published pricing.

Thank you for the replies!

I’d very much love if they took a page from Virgin’s book and added cruises to their “Experiences” Tab.
We’ll wait and see!

First cruise ever to serve meals on a single tray the way BA handles these things lately …

BOB plus pay extra to pre-select your cabin?

Actually this is a terrific idea – especially if you could also book your flights with avios at the same time.
