Disembarkation and Departure
Please refer to your Confirmed Itinerary for details on the final day. Please ensure you consult with your booking agent on the minimal connection times between the end point of your tour and departing flights. Please be aware that we will not be held responsible for the late arrival of your voyage.
 

Fuel Surcharges
Please note that your cruise booking may be subject to fuel surcharges should world oil prices increase significantly prior to the time of your departure. Cruise operators do attempt to factor this price into your tour cost. However, unexpected rises in the cost of marine fuel can result in a fuel surcharge that will depend on the cost of oil per barrel and the individual ship operator. By booking a tour with us, you agree that this may be the case with your booking. You will be advised of any surcharge once we have been notified of the surcharges from the cruise operator if this situation arises.
