    I'm afraid there isn't a card that meets all your requirements.

    Nationwide and Post Office cards don't charge a foreign loading, but only offer 0% on purchases for 3 months.

    Will depend on what cruise ship you are going on. Many of the ships have £s as their currency. Just back from one in the Caribbean and all went through in £s so foreign loading not applicable. I went for a Halifax card with 12 months on purchases - Martin had this on his Cards section not available in branch only online (was also 12 months on balance transfers but fortunately I have no balance) bill for 2 weeks cruise (drinks, trips and photos etc was £400 for 2 of us)
