Afternoon all,

Will I be able to purchase Euros on board Ventura for use on Port days?

Thanks for your time,

Pete.

Yes you will but there is a commission to pay, if you go to your local post office they will supply them the following day commission free. Enjoy your cruise

This online outfit seems to be offering a good rate with free P&P

Their rate of exchange seems better than that offered by Post Office.

Thomas Exchange (nothing to do with Thomas Cook) offer better rates still, though there's a fiver charge for insured delivery if you can't pick them up in London. Even so, it works out marginally cheaper to use them than Crown Currency, if you're buying about £500 worth (610€), and they deliver in 5 working days. They also offer the advantage that you can get a small amount of each of several currencies - useful to us as we're going to the Baltic, but less useful if you're going to the Med.

 

I haven't used them yet but they have been around a long time. I've often used their website for comparative purposes.
