Good to know

Cruises follow harbour authority weather rules. If the bay is closed for a storm, we move your date or refund in full. Life jackets are on board and the crew gives a safety briefing.
Upgrade to a 3-day, 2-night cruise or a suite; ask for a quote.
Bring swimwear, sunscreen and a light jacket for the evening.
Prices are per person in Canadian dollars. Vietnam uses the dong (VND); cards work in most hotels, but bring some cash for markets and tips.

Cancellation

Cancel at least 7 days before departure for a full refund. Inside that, hotel and transport costs are committed and we refund what our suppliers release.
