Cruise Pricing – Doubles are priced for two people sharing a room or cabin; two-bedded rooms or cabins are usually reserved for doubles. In hotels, triples are often a two-bedded room plus a rollaway cot and are not recommended for comfort. Triples aboard ship may include a sofa or upper berth.


Deposit Date – To hold space up to time of “Final Payment,” a deposit for each cruise booked must be received by the “Deposit Due Date” or space is automatically released. Deposits are as follows:


$950 per person – Alaska’s Inside Passage Cruise $1100 per person – Most Small Ship Cruises $1700 per person – Antarctica; Asia; Australia / NZ Cruises


Final Payment is due at Tauck’s Norwalk, CT office 60 days before departure. Bookings without full payment at this time may be subject to cancellation without notice.


Final Documents, which may include electronic airline ticket numbers when applicable, are sent by first class mail upon receipt of final payment. They include joining instructions, ship information, hotel lists, reading list, clothing suggestions, tour or cruise itinerary, luggage tags, and other pertinent information. We recommend overnight mailing service for any reservation that is made within 30 days of the cruise or tour departure date to ensure timely delivery. The additional expense will be added to your cruise or tour cost and must be included in your final payment.

Cruise Interruption Fees – If you have to interrupt your 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 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. In European hotels, most single rooms are smaller than double rooms and have only one bed. Special single rates are available on select departures of select journeys as noted on individual tour pages; these single rates are not transferable to other departure dates.
