Uplift and Margaritaville at Sea collaborate to Provide BNPL

Uplift, one of the leading providers of Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solutions for the world's most significant travel and retail businesses, has partnered with Margaritaville at Sea to enable installment payments for all reservations. In addition, Margaritaville at Sea will begin providing interest-free payments through Uplift for a limited period.

This new payment option allows clients to reserve cruise experiences by dividing the price into manageable monthly installments. Additionally, guests can quickly upgrade to a more significant cabin class or add onboard amenities or shore excursions for a few additional dollars each month by using Uplift's pay-over-time option.

Uplift collaborates with more than 300 of the world's top airlines, cruise lines, resorts, and other major travel providers to assist more people in making meaningful choices and experiencing the travel they deserve.

SVP of Commercial & Cruise at Uplift, Rob Borden, said, "Uplift is thrilled to be partnering with such a lively and exciting brand like Margaritaville at Sea." He added, "With this new relationship, Uplift will now offer guests the option of interest-free monthly installments to easily begin sailing the tropical waters and enjoying their experience at sea."
