French Epicurean River Cruise 2025 TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
INSURANCE: AgentMax powered by Allianz Global Assistance offers several types of insurance, including CFAR (cancel for any reason). I will find the best insurance policy and price that works for you. If you do not take out insurance to protect your vacation investment and are unable to make the trip due to any circumstance, you assume the risk of forfeiting all payments made. There will be no refunds or future credits issued. The French Epicurean River Cruise 2025 is a charter sailing, and all payments made for charter sailings are non-refundable.
RATES, TAXES & FEES: Cabin prices listed are per person (based on double occupancy) and include all tours and activities indicated in the Soulful Epicurean Experience itinerary, free-flowing red and white wine from the local regions, unlimited beer or soda drinks for lunch and dinner, complimentary “Sip and Sail” menu cocktail hour offering a selection of beverages on five evenings, one hour before dinner (Captain’s Receptions the other two nights), and choice of dining options. Port charges, taxes, and prepaid gratuities are also included in your price. Single cabins are available. Triple and quad occupancy is on a waitlist basis only.
PAYMENTS: A minimum of $450 per person ($1000.00 single) deposit for each person in the cabin is required to reserve. You must make the minimum monthly payments. Monthly payments are required until paid in full. The remaining balances for all cabin categories must be received by March 1st, 2025. Initial cabin deposits and all subsequent fees, including hotel reservations, are non-refundable. After April 1, 2024, the deposit increases to $550.00 per person.
CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS: Divine Dream Destinations Travel accepts Visa, Mastercard, Discover Cards, and American Express. I recommend not using a gift or credit card union card to make payments. If you use a gift card, please ensure it is registered to your name and address to track expenses.
CANCELLATION: All payments are non-refundable. If you miss your monthly payment, your reservation is subject to cancellation. If you must cancel, written documentation must be emailed to info@phdraveldiva.com. Your booking will be canceled without a refund. If your cabin mate cancels, you are still responsible for all the cabin and hotel costs. Once your cabin mate cancels, your rate will be switched to single occupancy until you find a replacement. Once a new cabin mate is booked, I will switch you back to the double occupancy rate.
REINSTATEMENT (BASED ON AVAILABILITY): If you cancel your booking but wish to reinstate it, I can place you back on the sailing, subject to availability.
RECORD CHANGES: IMPORTANT: You can request separate billing and contact information for your cabin mate when booking. If you want invoices, documents, statements, and other emails sent to separate addresses, you must choose this option. CORRECTIONS: If you find any errors on your invoice, please call me immediately. I will review each invoice to ensure accuracy. Please check that the spelling of your FULL LEGAL NAME (as it appears on your passport), mailing address, cabin number, category, dining time, group numbers (if affiliated with a group), and pre-cruise package (if applicable) match your passport.

IMPORTANT WHEELCHAIR and MOBILITY SCOOTERS NOTICE: From AMA Waterways: Wheelchair accessibility is minimal on our European ships. We have an elevator between the two main decks; however, it does not reach the Sun Deck or Piano Deck. Guests would be able to move around the dining room and lounge in their chairs; however, the staterooms cannot accommodate a wheelchair, so while in their stateroom, they would need to be able to move around on their own. Due to limited storage on board, their chair would also need to be stored in their stateroom. Getting on and off the ship could be challenging, as the narrow planks cannot accommodate a wheelchair or scooter's width.
Guests would have to be able to get on and off the ship without their wheelchairs, and the wheelchairs would have to be light enough to be lifted off and on the ramps. It is expected to tie up to other river ships in port. When this happens, we would sometimes need to travel through another ship to disembark, with many ships requiring us to do so from the Sun Deck, where there is only stair access. During the excursions, most of the cities visited have cobblestone walkways. This may be a challenge to maneuver with a wheelchair. The motorcoaches we use as a primary means of transport do not have any lift, and there are 4 or 5 steep steps to get on and off.
ASSESSABILITY CABINS: There are no assessable cabins on the AMA KRISTINA.
