Cruise help please

Hi all 

I am interested in booking the 7-night Norwegian Fjords sailing aboard Cunard’s Queen Anne (sailing code H720) departing 31 July 2027 from Southampton, returning 7 August 2027. I am specifically looking for a Britannia Oceanview Deluxe (EA) cabin for 3 guests.


I would like to set up a payment plan with instalments every 28 days, starting from January 2026.
I am planning to put £1,100 upfront, which includes the required deposit, and have the remaining balance spread across the plan.


I am currently waiting for Ambassador Cruise Line to confirm whether I can transfer the guest names and sell my existing cruise (which was originally a won prize) for £1,100, which would form the upfront payment on this Cunard sailing. 


Could you please confirm:
Whether a 3-guest Oceanview Deluxe cabin is still available for this itinerary, and if so, can it be held?
The payment plan options available (aligned to a 28-day pay cycle).

    Why would anyone on the forum know whether or not the itinerary is available? Or what payment plan options might be available to you.

    You need to contact the cruise company.

    I suspect that transferring / selling the prize cruise will not be possible.  The prize cabins are usually offered to fill undersold rooms with the hope that you will spend on extras to make it worthwhile for the cruise company.

    What do the prize rules say?

    The questions asked may be too specific for a forum to comment against.

    The only people who can answer any part of the questions raised are those at the cruise company.
