What is Luggage Valet or bonded luggage?

Luggage Valet, or bonded luggage, refers to a service that allows guests to have their checked-in luggage transported directly from their departure airport to their final destination, without having to collect it at any transit point along the way. Some flights are non-bonded, which means that this service isn't available.

Scheduled and group allocated flights

Luggage Valet isn't offered on scheduled or group allocated flights as we can have guests on many different flights for the same cruise. Guests will check-in their luggage at the departing airport, which they'll collect themselves at the overseas airport. They'll then make their way to the transfer coach to which will taken them to meet the ship.
