BEFORE WE SET SAIL
A few useful
details.
Can I come on my own?
Yes, get in touch and we can look at solo cabin options and prices. If you’d like to share, I may be able to introduce you to someone else who’s interested. You’d need to agree the sharing arrangements between yourselves and book the cabin together.
Can you arrange flights and a Barcelona stay?
Yes. I can help with flights, transfers and a hotel before sailing, quoted separately. I recommend arriving at least one night early so you have time to enjoy Barcelona and aren’t relying on a same-day flight to meet the ship.
Do I have to join all the group activities?
No. There’ll be a group dinner and informal opportunities to meet up, but you choose what to join. Optional shore activities depend on interest, and I’ll explain any additional cost before you decide.
How do deposits and payments work?
Your quote will show the fare, deposit, balance date and the terms for changes or cancellations. We’ll talk through the options before you book, so you know what you’re agreeing to.
ASK ABOUT THE SAILING
Fancy coming along?
Send me a short enquiry and I’ll share current availability, cabin options and a full quote. We can talk it through before you decide.
