The staff was incredibly friendly and the service was top-notch. Our experience was wonderful, and Jackie Chan was exceptionally helpful, kind, and accommodating. We’re eager to extend our stay for another night.
The Four Promises
Book the boat. We cover the rest.
Four things we put in writing on every booking — because the cruise line won't.
Weather Cover
If weather forces a change, your concierge reaches you 72 hours out — before the news does — and handles every rearrangement. Premium adds priority rebooking on an equivalent-or-better vessel.
Sailing Guarantee
If your vessel cancels for any reason, we place you on an equal-or-better ship, same dates — or a full refund plus credit. Your trip sails either way.
Price Guarantee
See a lower public price for the same cabin and date after booking? We refund the difference. On Premium, your rate is protected and resolved through an upgrade rather than a transaction.
Concierge Guarantee
Every detail, as promised — or made right. We watch over your trip and fix issues before you notice. No claim forms, no arguing.
