Travel Insurance Recommendation
Wild Blue Travel strongly encourages you to purchase travel protection for this trip. Should you choose to travel without travel insurance coverage you acknowledge your agreement to take full responsibility for all expenses (trip interruption, trip delay, medical expenses, quarantine expenses and emergency evacuation/repatriation) that may arise while traveling.
Wild Blue Travel can quote and obtain travel insurance for you. You may also purchase on your own. Be aware that most travel insurance policies do NOT cover pre-existing conditions unless purchased within certain time frame from time of deposit and many plans require that the entire amount of the trip is insured. Whether purchased through Wild Blue Travel or on your own, please be sure to read the Inclusions and the Exclusions noted in the insurance policy as Wild Blue Travel is not an authorized insurance agent and therefore not allowed to interpret policies.
Itinerary Changes
The very nature of sea voyages means that there will be times when weather or other conditions in a region will require the yacht operator to adjust or modify an itinerary. Although every effort will be made to keep itineraries, vessels, and hotels as they are shown in the itinerary, the tour operator reserves the right to substitute itineraries, hotels, or vessels. In such cases, everything will be done o make sure the locations visited, the excursions, hotels or vessels offered are like the initial itinerary inclusions. Any changes to itineraries will not result in eligibility for a refund. Itineraries are subject to change without notice and may need to be altered specifically because of weather, wind factors, or other conditions.
Advanced, Cancelled, or Delayed Sailing
Yacht operator reserves the right to cancel, advance, postpone or modify scheduled departure, return or itinerary dates, as well as locations, events, and schedules, and may, but is not obligated to, substitute, vary, alter, reschedule, cancel and/or relocate any accommodations, vessels, modes of transportation and other aspects of the vacation.
