The Four Promises
Book the boat. We cover the rest.
Four things we put in writing on every booking — because the cruise line won't.
Weather Cover
If weather forces a change, your concierge reaches you 72 hours out — before the news does — and handles every rearrangement. Premium adds priority rebooking on an equivalent-or-better vessel.
Sailing Guarantee
If your vessel cancels for any reason, we place you on an equal-or-better ship, same dates — or a full refund plus credit. Your trip sails either way.
Price Guarantee
See a lower public price for the same cabin and date after booking? We refund the difference. On Premium, your rate is protected and resolved through an upgrade rather than a transaction.
Concierge Guarantee
Every detail, as promised — or made right. We watch over your trip and fix issues before you notice. No claim forms, no arguing.
