Bolette cruise ship in Eidfjord, Norway – inspiration behind Transfer My Trip marketplace for cancelled holidays

Our Story — Why TransferMyTrip Exists

Transfer My Trip is the UK marketplace for selling unused holidays and helping buyers find discounted trips from people who can’t travel.

Turning Cancelled Holidays into Better Outcomes

TransferMyTrip was created to solve a simple but costly problem: when someone has to cancel a holiday, they often lose a large part of what they paid — while other travellers would happily take that booking at a lower price.

  • Sellers recover more than a standard cancellation refund.
  • Buyers access genuine holidays at discounted prices.
  • A clear, secure process with real people behind it.

You can sell your holiday, search available trips, or read how it works.

From Cruise Industry Veteran to Marketplace Founder

I’m Pete Deer. After decades in the cruise industry — including as Managing Director at Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines — I repeatedly saw guests lose hundreds or even thousands of pounds when life forced them to cancel a holiday.

From a business point of view, cancellation policies made sense. From a human point of view, they often felt unfair and unnecessary.

TransferMyTrip is the solution I wished existed — a marketplace that allows genuine bookings to be resold safely, helping sellers recover money and buyers secure better value.

Quick Questions

Can I sell my holiday booking?

Often, yes. If your booking is a package holiday, UK law (the Package Travel Regulations) allows it to be transferred to another person, provided the organiser is told before departure and any reasonable amendment fee is paid.

Other bookings may also be transferable depending on the provider’s terms. We review your booking and advise what’s possible before listing.

Are the trips genuine?

Yes. Listings are based on real bookings and require booking confirmation before going live.

How do buyers get peace of mind?

We guide both parties and confirm the transfer before funds are released.
