Worth knowing



Tailor your trip: Extend your adventure by securing extra hotel nights before or after the main itinerary. Speak to your sales representative to book.

Private rooms: Like most tour operators, we room solo passengers together. If you’d prefer to have a private room, it’s normally possible to do this for a supplement. Speak to your sales representative to book.

Room upgrades: Upgrade your room on Day 4, 5, and 6 this itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details.
