Payments can be accepted in US Dollars, Pounds or Euros, by VISA 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 Louisa 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 cancelled.
