UD BAO Friends & Family Cruise

Jul 24, 2024 to Jul 28, 2024

🚢 Set Sail with UD BAO Friends & Family Cruise!

 
UD BAO is bringing alumni, faculty, friends & family together for a luxurious Fire & Sunset Soiree Adult-Only adventure with Virgin Voyages on July 24-28, 2024. LH Travel + Leisure is your ticket to a fun, unforgettable voyage that's all about indulgence, sophistication, and new memories.
 
Famous for its crimson and gold-hued sunsets, Key West is more than just a spot to admire the painted skies (but of course, it is that, too). An adopted home to some of America’s most seminal writers (Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, & Robert Frost — to name a few), Key West is an apex of gorgeous cultural collision and celebration. Bahamian Conch, Cuban and African-American cultural heritage create the backbone for the inclusive and accepting philosophy of Key West’s “One Human Family”.
 
This is an exclusive trip being curated by LH Travel + Leisure.  We take care of your entire package details so you don't have to worry about the planning and can focus on having fun.

Virgin Voyage Policy

- You have the most flexibility outside of 120 days prior to your departure date. If you're booking at this time, you have a 7-day grace period to request a full refund on your deposit and any other payments made. Refunds will be issued to your original form of payment.

- After the grace period (but still before the 120-day mark), you can receive a full refund on any payments, not including your deposit. For your deposit, you can request a Future Voyage Credit at this time.

- From 119 days up to 45 days from your departure date, your available options are:

  • Receive a “Future Voyage Credit” in the amount paid that can be applied to a new sailing up to 1 year after the original Voyage date.
  • Change to a new Voyage date up to 1 year after original Voyage date.
  • Change names on the reservation; permissible up to 48 hours before your Voyage sailing date.
  • Submit an insurance claim if travel protection (aka travel insurance) was purchased.   

- At 44 days from your departure date, all funds paid are final. But you do have the option to transfer, sell, or otherwise have someone go in your place up to 48 hours before your Voyage.

Note: the date of departure means the date the arrangements you have booked through us start.  So if you booked a flight or hotel add-on to your Voyage, it is the day the first add-on begins.  Conversely, It may be your Voyage sail date if that is the only thing you booked with us.  The sail date is the date the ship, on the Voyage portion of your holiday, departs the port of embarkation.  

Individual cancellation policies apply at the Guest level for any individual cancellation within a cabin.  

Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim any unrefunded money (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your travel insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to your insurance company. As always, we recommend you purchase our Voyage Protection.

Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you at the applicable higher price. 

Cancellations shall be deemed effective at 11:59 p.m. local east coast United States time on the date Guest communicates such cancellation.

Per person taxes and fees will be refunded to the credit card on file.

We may have special and/or limited booking or cancellation policies in place for limited times, so click here or the “Offer Terms and Conditions” link below.
