Payment

To secure your spot, an initial payment of 10% is required. We suggest using a credit card for this initial payment to prevent overlapping bookings that could occur while a wire transfer is being confirmed. The good news is, we will not be adding any credit card processing fees to this transaction.

For the second payment (40%) and the third payment (50%), we recommend using a wire transfer. We’ve successfully handled wire transactions since 2013 without any issues. While wire transfer fees from a USD account to a EUR account typically range from around $15 to $50, the fees are almost nonexistent between EUR accounts. To make wire payments more convenient for USD transactions, we will provide a US bank account specifically for USD currency.

If you prefer, you can continue to use a credit card payment method for the second and third payments. However, please note that there will be an additional processing fee of 3% added to the remaining amount.

For bookings made 90 or more days before the cruise start date:

• 10% of the total booking cost is payable either at the time of booking or within 24 hours (as a reservation).
• An additional 40% of the total booking cost should be settled no later than 30 days after the booking date.
• The remaining 50% of the total booking cost must be paid no less than 60 days before the event start date (please refer to your booking date for the exact date).

For bookings made between 90 and 60 days before the cruise start date:

• 10% of the total booking cost is payable either at the time of booking or within 24 hours (as a reservation).
• An additional 40% of the total booking cost should be settled no later than 30 days after the booking date.
• The remaining 50% of the total booking cost must be paid no less than 60 days before the cruise start date. (please note when booking 60 days before the cruise start second (40%) and third (50%) payment are due on the same date therefore only second payment of 90% applies)

For booking less than 60 days before the cruise start date:

• 10% of the total booking cost is payable either at the time of booking or within 24 hours (as a reservation).
• An additional 90% of the total booking cost must be settled inside 7 days after the booking date.

Please refer to your booking for the exact dates. Booking date is the date on which the first payment was successful.
