On Time Return Guarantee:
To offer our customers peace of mind, we guarantee our excursions and your on time return to your cruise ship. You are guaranteed to return for your ship's departure in each port as long as you provide the correct cruise itinerary information during the booking process. Opting for the "NOT ON A CRUISE SHIP" option or providing inaccurate cruise information forfeits our On Time Return Guarantee. We have never had a client miss their cruise ship departure.
- If you miss your ship's departure because of the late return of an excursion purchased within these parameters, we will pay for the necessary expenses to transport you to the next port of call to meet your cruise ship the following day including hotel, transportation, and food.
- If your ship is late, please call your tour operator so that your tour time can be adjusted. If an alternate tour time is not compatible with your schedule, your ticket will be fully refunded with no fees or penalties.
- If your cruise ship changes port itineraries causing you to miss an excursion, your ticket will be fully refunded with no fees or penalty.
Cancellations and Refunds:
Tours can be canceled for any reason up until seven (7) days prior to the date of the tour for a full refund unless otherwise noted on the individual tour product page in the Things to Know section. To cancel a tour, please use the cancelation request link within your e-ticket that was emailed to you OR send an email to [email protected] with the following information:
- Order number
- Tour you are canceling
- Number of passengers you wish to cancel
Within 0-7 days before the tour date, cancelations are eligible for a full refund only in the following scenarios:
- The tour is canceled by the tour operator for any reason (for example: bad weather or mechanical issue)
- You experience a medical emergency during this window and can provide documentation (documentation must be submitted within 30 days to receive a refund)
