  • Should you have any concerns or doubts that you may need to amend your booking, Cancellation Insurance can be purchased at $10 per person at time of booking.  Cancellation Insurance entitles you to a 100% refund of your ticket price, if you need to cancel your cruise for any reason. To cancel your cruise and receive a refund, you must contact our reservation team prior to 10am on the day of your cruise, if you notify us after 10am on the day of your cruise, unfortunately no refunds or changes can be made. Please note Cancellation Insurance must be purchased by every person in your booking (except for free of charge tickets i.e. infants). For example, if 4 adults were booked, 4 cancellation insurance options must be purchased. Cancellation insurance cannot be added after your booking has been made. Cancellation insurance cost ($10 pp) and credit card surcharges are NOT refundable.  
Changes to your booking
  • 14 days or greater: Date changes or changes in passenger numbers to your booking can be made 14 days or more prior to your travel date (so if you are booked in on Thursday October 1st 2020, changes to your booking can be made up until close of business Thursday September 17th 2020). 
  • Should you wish to cancel your booking, we can only offer you a date transfer or credit voucher. Customers who have purchased cancellation insurance may cancel in accordance with section 1.1.2
  • Less than 14 days: within 14 days of your cruise departure no changes can be made to your booking unless cancellation insurance was purchased at time of booking.

Unfortunately refunds, transfers or credit vouchers are not permitted due to a missed departure. We strongly recommend that you check travel/traffic conditions on the day of your departure, in particular when there are special events (e.g. public holidays, Marathon, Anzac Day parade) as these can often cause traffic delays.
 
2. DIETARY REQUIREMENTS
 
  • When cruising with us, we can cater for 4 basic dietary requirements: Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free and Dairy free. However please note that these MUST be pre-booked at time of reservation.
  • We will not be able to cater to dietary requirements advised on the day.
  • Unfortunately, we cannot cater for guests with allergies/adverse reactions caused by food. Whilst we have made every attempt to meet a variety of dietary requirements we have met with our suppliers and have been advised that they “cannot guarantee” that our stock has not been in contact with nuts, eggs, soy, or bee products etc during and throughout the manufacturing process.
  • For this reason above, we cannot cater to allergies and are sincerely sorry. We can however welcome all guests with food allergies on a cruise, at a discounted price, so that those guests (if they choose) can bring in their own meal that has been prepared to their exact requirements.
  • Please also understand that whilst sailing we cannot change ingredients for food preferences / individual tastes. (i.e. I do not like tomatoes). As we are a vessel, we are unable to stock a large amount of excess food on board to suit all requirements/preferences. Our team of chef’s spend an incredible amount of time sourcing and preparing the menu items and are also confined to an extremely short period of time to serve food in order to keep the cruise operating within the allocated time. Due to these reasons (and in order to keep the cruise at a value-for-money price) we simply cannot provide individual chefs to meet specific tastes nor change or swap ingredients to suit individual preferences.
  • Please remember to advise us when you are making your booking of your dietary requirements (Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free or Dairy Free).
  • We have a wonderful variety of food on board so please feel free to peruse our menu online prior to cruising. Please feel free to call our reservations office for further details.
