Website Entries
Website Entries:
We make every effort to ensure our website entries are as accurate as possible. However, it needs to be pointed out that some of the arrangements for our tours are made at least 18 months prior to departure. Inevitably there are occasions when changing circumstances require us to alter published itineraries and hotel bookings. Normally we are able to advise clients of such changes before departure. Similarly, weather patterns in many parts of the world are not wholly predictable and it is virtually impossible to accurately predict the temperatures you will encounter while on tour. Thus it is necessary for there to be a degree of flexibility in our programmes that allows some freedom to do what is best in the particular circumstances. The chances of seeing certain species may also be affected by the vagaries of the weather. It is unlikely that a group will see all the species mentioned in the website text. We accept bookings on the understanding that these points are fully understood.
Sharing places and single rooms:
If you book a sharing room on any of these cruises, you will not ever be asked to pay any additional single room supplement. We, or the cruise company, take the booking on the understanding that someone will be found to share with you. If we cannot find someone we will not charge you any extra. If you wish to book a cabin for single use, please note that these cabins are sometimes limited in their number by the ship’s owners, so early booking is essential.
Insurance:
It is a prerequisite of joining any tour that you have sufficient insurance cover in case of illness or repatriation. We are happy to quote you a price for your travel insurance depending on your age and the cost and duration of the cruise.
Smoking:
Please note that many of the ships operate a non-smoking policy within cabins and eating areas. Sometimes the only place where smoking is allowed is on deck. Also please note that smoking in public places and hotel rooms is now forbidden in some of the countries we visit.
