However, we do appreciate that in life plans change and in such a case will endeavour to fill your place. If this is possible, we will then refund any money we recover by selling the place, minus a £50 administrative charge.

If for any reason you decide to leave the ship before the end of the trip, we will help facilitate this. However, we will be unable to refund any money.
