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.

credit, mobile banking and payment products to consumers. Expedia Group, Inc. is
