Do you offer military benefits?
Who's eligible?

- Current serving personnel
- Veterans
- Reservists
- MOD Civil servants
- NATO personnel in the UK
For the following service divisions:

- Royal Air Force
- Reserves

How to receive military benefit
- Military benefits must be applied to a guest's booking through the Customer Contact Centre for Direct bookings or via the Partnership Helpdesk for travel agent bookings. If the guest has booked through a travel agent, the agent must apply this to the booking.
- Military benefits can only be applied to a booking if the guest is registered with Defence Discount Service (the official MOD discount scheme) and has a Defence Privilege Card. This is a paid for membership.
- Guests will need to quote their Defence Privilege Card membership number at the time of booking or no later than seven days before departure, along with the promotion code "MLT" for the on board credit to be applied to their booking. It's not possible to apply the military benefit once the guest is on board.
- Guests may be asked to present their card at the check-in desk on the day of embarkation, so they should take this with them when travelling.
What's the benefit?
The amount of on board spending money is applicable for the first and second guests in a cabin only and depends on the grade of cabin booked and the duration of the cruise:

Additional Information
