The right is reserved to alter or cancel the itinerary, at Corporate Travel Service’s sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable.

GRATUITIES: Customary cruise and tour gratuities are included.

CABINS: Tour prices are per person according to a cabin type: a “Single” cabin is one person in a cabin and a “Double” is two persons in one cabin.

CRUISE SHIP STANDARDS: Cruise ship is clean, but modest in comparison to US commercial cruiseline standards. It is primarily a comfortable mode of transportation, and fitting for a pilgrimage experience. While there are some entertainment options aboard, they are not expansive.

LUGGAGE: Baggage is at owner’s risk throughout the tour.

Checked Baggage: Fees are not included in this tour package price. Most airlines charge fees ranging from free to $75 per bag one way.
