Essentials to Keep in Mind

1. Most tour agencies have strict cancellation policies as follows-

• In case the booking is cancelled within three days before the boarding date, then 50% of the total fare will be charged as a cancellation fee.
• A 100% cancellation fee will be charged if the booking is cancelled one day before the boarding date.
• These cancellation policies are valid only for individual bookings and are not for group bookings. For group booking, cancellation policies make sure you contact the agency.

2. Alcoholic drinks are not complimentary. You can purchase them on board with extra prices. So if you are not ready to pay extra, do not consume alcohol by mistake.
3. If travelling with children, keep an eye on them. Even though the cruises are quite safe, but never leave them out of sight.
4. Keep an eye on your belongings and check for them before you disembark to make sure that you do not leave anything behind.
5. Check whether your hotel comes under their pick up/drop off service range. If not, then book a hotel which comes under their range so that you can avail their transportation services.
