Your booking is subject to final confirmation from the cruise operator.
During peak season, cabin availability can change quickly due to last-minute bookings, system update delays, or occasional overbooking. Once we receive your payment, we immediately secure the cabin and send you a written confirmation when it is officially confirmed.
If your selected cabin becomes unavailable, we will offer similar alternatives or provide a full refund.
We highly recommend waiting for official confirmation before arranging non-refundable flights.
