are located on a separate web page which can be reached by following

delicious meal at a local restaurant.

Information
about excursions and activities available on your voyage.
Weather
The
weather in the area is generally divided between the dry season,
from March to October, and the wet season, from September to
February. You can expect some rain even in the dry season, so
we recommend you bring a poncho or other
raingear for shore excursions. Temperatures during both seasons
will average in the 80's during the day, and 60's-70's in the
evening. Temperatures are given in Fahrenheit.
Cancellations
There
will be a fee of $75.00 if you cancel after we confirm your reservation,
but more than 60 days before the voyage you have reserved is
scheduled to depart. If you cancel between 60 to 45 days prior
to departure of the voyage you are booked on, the cancellation
fee will be one third of the cost of the ticket. If you cancel
between 44 and 30 days before departure, two thirds of the ticket
price will be retained by the company. If you cancel less than
30 days before departure, the entire ticket price will be retained.
Travel
Insurance
Because
of the cancellation penalties noted above, we strongly recommend
that you purchase cancellation insurance. You travel agent will
be able to advise you on such insurance.
Terms
and Conditions of Carriage
The
detailed terms and conditions of your passenger ticket. They
are part of the ticket, control our mutual obligations and, of
course, are required by our lawyers and insurance company.
