A deposit of 30% is required to confirm charter booking. The balance is due 90 days prior to the start date of the cruise. Should the booking be made less than 90 days prior to the charter, the full balance will be due upon confirmation of the cruise. Cruise rates are quoted in Euros. Payments can be accepted in US Dollars or pounds at an agreed exchange rate, by cheque or bank transfer. Should the balance not be received 90 days before the charter, the booking is taken as cancelled and the deposit forfeited. You may cancel the charter at any time. Notice of cancellation must be received in writing and is valid upon receipt. If cancellation is received more than 90 days prior to the charter, then the deposit will be retained. Cancellations received within 90 days of the start of the cruise are subject to forfeiture of the entire cost. There will be no refunds made for days missed on the cruise.

Changes in the cruising route may occur due to unexpected circumstances, such as weather, lock closures and repairs, unusually high or low water levels and other circumstances beyond our control. We reserve the right to alter the cruise route and excursions accordingly. Any such changes cannot be accepted as a reason for cruise cancellation. Alternative and equally agreeable routes / excursions will be chosen. Should Colibri not be available for the dates reserved, or if the owners for circumstances beyond their control cancel the cruise, all sums received will be returned in full, and guest shall have no claim against the owners or barge. Sums will be prorated should only a portion of the trip be canceled.
