Royal Caribbean declares tax holiday for US vacationers

Royal Caribbean International cruise line is offering a deal that may take some of the sting out of the tax season. With the April 15 income tax filing deadline quickly approaching, the cruise line announced it will pay the taxes of those who book a new cruise.

No, it is not offering to pay the income taxes of its passengers, but it will pay the cruise booking taxes, port charges and fees for those who book a new sailing between April 11 and April 15. Dubbed “Royal Caribbean’s Tax-Free Holiday,” the promotion can save U.S. residents up to $200 per guest when they make a new booking on a six-night or longer Bahamas, Caribbean and roundtrip-Europe itinerary.

The offer applies to sailings that depart from April 15, 2015 through March 31, 2016, but does not include sailings on the new megaships Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas. For more information, potential travelers can visit www.RoyalCaribbean.com/TaxFree starting Saturday, April 11.
