Cruise / Tour Interruption Fees – If you have to interrupt

your tour or cruise en route, you may be entitled to a refund for the unused land portion if it exceeds 24 hours; certain restrictions apply. Such refunds are based upon the number of overnights missed less a fee of $40 per person per day for unused transportation and other fixed expenses.

Partial Room Cancellation – A person who cancels or leaves a tour or cruise while a roommate remains constitutes a cancellation of one type of accommodation and rebooking of another. The price charged the remaining person is the new, higher price for the new accommodation.

Single Rooms & Cabins – Since hotel and cabin rates are per room, the cruise price for cabins occupied by one person is higher than those where two or more persons share the cost of a room or cabin.
