Know before you book

  • Special note for solo travellers: We love our solo travellers and look forward to you joining our tours! Because we are a small boutique company, our computer system automatically requires at least 2 people to book together before a solo traveller may book - as all of our tours require at least 2 people to run. Otherwise, our tours, with just one traveller, would run at a financial deficit. For 2 travellers, we break even. However, we never cancel our tours as long as at least two people are booked. Many tours require a higher minimum and will cancel. This minimum of 2 people for the first booking prevents us from making any cancellations and disappointing our potential guests. So if you are a solo traveller, and the computer is requiring 2 to book, please keep checking back for updated availability. You may also call and add yourself to a "wait list". Thank you for your understanding.

  • ###What about official delayed disembarkation times determined by the captain due to fog or other weather or reasons? If disembarkation from the ship is delayed by the cruise ship captain due to weather, we will adjust our schedule as needed.
