New VAT rate on Cruises

in Cutting tax
I booked a cruise for next year and paid a deposit. Now that VAT has dropped by 2.5% I asked the Cruise Club I booked the cruise with if it will affect the balance when I pay next year and they have told me you do not pay VAT on a cruise if it sails out of Southampton and back again. Anybody know if they are telling me the truth or to they want to keep the money for them self’s?

No VAT on cruises that cruise out of (outside) UK waters.
Ask yourself the question, "Have I ever paid VAT on a foreign holiday?"0
