Change requests are subject to availability and cruise line policies. Name changes, in particular, may be treated as cancellations by the supplier and rebooked at prevailing rates. No refunds are given for no-shows, unused services, early disembarkation, or voluntary changes made after final payment.

12. Visa, Travel Documents & Entry Requirements

This responsibility extends to all travelers in the party.
Clients are strongly encouraged to consult their destination’s consulate, visa agency, or appropriate government authority for accurate and up-to-date travel requirements. For guidance only, we recommend using Sherpa (https://apply.joinsherpa.com).
