1 month ago 6

Expedia Group, one of the world’s leading travel technology companies, is choosing Flex Pay to give clients flexibility in how they pay for booking cruises in the United States and Canada.

Flex Pay will be available across five Expedia brands: Expedia Cruises, Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz, and Cheaptickets.com.

With Flex Pay (formerly Uplift), travelers can book cruises to more than 20 cruise brands available on Expedia Group while spreading their payments out over 3 to 24 months. Flex Pay also includes no-interest financing, which has been shown to increase booking volume, conversion and order value by 15-25 percent.

Matthew Eichhorst, president of Expedia Cruises at Expedia Group, wants travel to be accessible to everyone. “With the introduction of Flex Pay, we're not just offering payment options; we're opening doors to experiences that once may have seemed out of reach. By allowing travelers to spread costs over time, we're making dream cruises more attainable and enabling the exploration of the world on one’s terms,” said Eichhorst.

Flex Pay is marketed as a “Buy Now, Pay Later” solution by Upgrade, Inc. It offers affordable and responsible credit, mobile banking and payment products to consumers. Expedia Group, Inc. is driven by a core belief that travel is a force for good. Their global platform helps clients and travelers everywhere book their next experience. Their three flagship brands include Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo.
