of the holiday, even if you have not paid the balance due, unless we are able to re-let the cabin/s when we will refund any amounts paid, less the deposit.

the boat, or who in the opinion of the master of the boat, behaves in a manner disruptive to the other passengers. Any refund of the price of the holiday
paid would be entirely at our discretion.

We reserve the right to cancel any cruise for which there are insufficient bookings, or if due to circumstances outside our control it has become impossible to carry
out the cruise. In such cases, you will, if possible be offered alternative dates. Otherwise, any sum received from you will be returned in full, but you shall have no
claim on any account against us.

this to be in the best interests of our passengers. We reserve the right to reallocate accommodation when in our opinion it is necessary to do so.
You shall have no claim on us, and no particular right of cancellation, should any re-routing be necessary. Whilst we make very effort to keep to the advertised
timetable, we shall not be liable for any loss caused to you by delay, mechanical or electrical breakdown, failure to keep to time, or any cause whatsoever.
Should navigational difficulties prevail on the waterway, the cruise may be rescheduled to commence, divert or terminate at alternative locations or on an
alternative craft in order to safeguard the holiday. This situation will not be considered grounds for cancellation of a confirmed holiday.

are upon the boat, or premises or vehicles belonging to us or our agents.
