For bookings made on or before October 6, 2025:
Our cancellation policy was created to provide a better experience for our Sailors. Here’s everything you need to know:

120+ days before sailing: You’ll have a 7-day grace period to request a full refund on your deposit and any other payments made. Refunds go back to your original form of payment.
After the 7-day grace period (but still before 120 days): You’ll receive a refund on all payments, excluding your deposit. Your deposit will be held as Future Voyage Credit.
119–45 days before sailing: All funds paid will convert to Future Voyage Credit, good for any voyage within 1 year of your original start date.
44 days or less before sailing: All funds are final. You can, however, transfer your booking to someone else up to 48 hours before departure. (Taxes and fees are always refunded regardless of timing.)

If your voyage was booked through a tour operator or First Mate who bundled your trip with other travel elements (like flights or hotels), their policies may differ. Please reach out to them directly for details.
