The PSA is an approved body for bonding by BERR (Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform) under Regulations 17 and 18 of the Package Travel, Package Holiday Tours Regulations 1992.   

Currently five ferry lines and eleven cruise lines are bonded with the PSA for their non-licensable activities.  This means that if you have booked a cruise only or a ferry package holiday with a bonded member, your money is protected should the company fail for any reason. The PSA Bond covers the following: 

1)  Any deposits paid to the Cruise Line/Ferry Company for an outstanding trip.

2) Cover costs/expenses of repatriation of customers back to the UK if the company goes into administration mid-holiday.

3) The PSA bond covers package holidays operated by ferry companies, but  not A to B crossings.
