  IMPORTANT: All tour prices and airfares quoted in this brochure are based on tariffs, costs, and exchange rates in United States dollars that were in effect at the time of publication. Consequently, prices herein are subject to change. Due to fluctuations in oil prices, a fuel surcharge may be added to your tour fee. Details and costs will be advised prior to departure.  
     
  Single & Triple/Quad Occupancy  
     
  A very limited number of guaranteed single accommodations are available in Category A at 150% of the double occupancy rate. Single occupancy in all other categories are 200% of the double occupancy rate. In some categories, a third and fourth person may be added to a double occupancy stateroom with the third and fourth persons each paying 50% of the double occupancy cruise fare. Contact TravelQuest for availability and pricing.  
     
  Room Sharing Program  
     
  If you are a solo traveler, you can realize significant savings by taking advantage of TravelQuest’s Room Sharing Program, which matches travelers of the same gender so that they can share the same twin stateroom. While we’ll do our best to fulfill your request, if we cannot find a match, you will pay the single occupancy price.

  Traveler Health  
  It is each traveler’s responsibility to take all appropriate medical advice prior to booking as to whether or not they are fit enough to undertake this trip. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact TravelQuest International.  
     
  A Note About Fuel:  
     
  In the uncertain, often volatile oil market, it is difficult to predict long-term fuel costs, and more specifically, costs at the time of the voyage. Our prices are based on the prevailing fuel rates at the time of the brochure publication, which is well in advance of departure. While we will do everything possible to maintain our prices, if fuel prices increase significantly at or before the time of the voyage, it may be necessary to institute a fuel surcharge.
    We highly recommend that all participants obtain travelers’ Trip Cancellation Insurance. If you purchase this coverage within 21 days of the date of your first tour payment, pre-existing medical conditions will be covered. This coverage is available to any traveler worldwide. Details for obtaining this optional coverage will be provided with confirmation material.
 
     
 

 
 
 
     
 

 

Regardless of whether or not you travel with us,
we highly recommend all travelers obtain
Trip Cancellation/Medical Insurance
