CONDITIONS:
In the unlikely case of a vessel break down, we will supply an alternative
vessel, to a similar standard and quality inclusions. Itineraries may be
effected by wind, tide, rain, storm or the skipper's professional judgement
to keep our guests and crew safe.
Scuba diving is operated by a specialist dive company. On the very odd
occasion the dive boat may not meet up with us, so we cannot absolutely
guarantee the dive option on every trip.
Please note, that we refuse the right of boarding to any guest who arrives
intoxicated by alcohol or under the influence of illegal substances. If this
occurs, we will not refund any monies paid.
LIABILITY:
Guests should note that sailing can be a dangerous activity and while our
crew will make every effort to ensure guest safety, we cannot be accountable
for actions of guests that are beyond our control. If any guest causes a
disturbance or threatens the safety and comfort of other guests or crew,
they will be warned and if the behaviour continues, possibly removed from
the vessel. This removal will be at the guests expense.
Guests will be required to complete a pre departure questionnaire, and sign
a travel agreement during the check-in process.
Australian Tall Ships Cruises has the
applicable shipowners insurance to cover public liability for our guests and
staff.
TRAVEL INSURANCE:
We strongly recommend that guests take out their own travel insurance to
cover valuable items, eg. Cameras, and to protect themselves against
unforseen last minute cancellations or medical conditions that may occur
during carriage, and the associated extra costs of accessing medical care
around the islands.
