Calculation of Inclusive Fees
Fees are determined in line with inflation and carefully calculated to accommodate shipboard operations, shoreside operations and support costs of the vessel. Full insurance costs and emergency reserves are also budgeted to accommodate unforeseen issues.
Children on Board
Although many rooms have a 3rd and 4th pullman bed we encourage the rooms be kept to a 2 person occupancy.
Some children may not be onboard full-time due to factors including boarding school, camps, visits with relatives, and custody sharing. Can children be treated as additional guests and pay a daily fee only for the time that they are actually onboard?
