If you purchase a transfer, please note it becomes non-refundable 29 days or less before your cruise or tour begins.

Unfortunately, we’re not able to offer refunds for missed transfers due to flight delays, cancellations, or other disruptions. If you do miss your scheduled transfer, you’ll need to make your own way to the ship or hotel at your own expense. 

Standard check-in and check-out times apply, no matter your flight schedule or transfer arrangements. 

• Arrivals: On embarkation day, your stateroom will be ready after 3:00 PM. If you arrive earlier, you're welcome to relax in the ship’s public areas. If your journey begins at a hotel, your room will be ready after the hotel’s standard check-in time. Please note, early check-ins can’t be arranged by Trafalgar. 
• Departures: On disembarkation day, staterooms must be vacated by 8:00 AM. If your flight is later, you’re welcome to wait in the public areas until 1:00 PM or later, depending on the sailing schedule. For hotel stays at the end of your trip, rooms must be vacated by the hotel’s standard check-out time. Please note, late check-outs cannot be requested through Trafalgar.

Enjoy complimentary transfers on the first and last days of your tour when you book flights with Trafalgar and flight times coincide with our transfer guidelines.  

If you’re arranging your own flights, you can choose to purchase a group or private transfer through Trafalgar. To book your transfer(s), just contact us and provide your flight information and make payment no less than 45 days before your departure. 

Please note: purchased transfers become non-refundable 29 days or less before your trip begins. 

If you miss your scheduled transfer, you’ll need to make your own way to the ship or hotel at your own expense.
