Other
Minimum age of children accompanied by an adult passenger is 14 years.

Positioning Cruises
When ACCL moves a vessel from the completion of a scheduled cruise to the beginning point of a new one, we traditionally offer a positioning trip. On this sailing, there is no planned program and the ship stops for fuel, supplies and sometimes to explore, but not necessarily on a scheduled basis. Passengers dine with the crew and there is a comfortable intermingling and conviviality. A positioning cruise is offered at a reduced per diem rate. Please call the office for more information and a sampling of the cruise options from which you may choose.

Insurance
To avoid loss of fare due to cancellation, we recommend that you purchase trip cancellation insurance. We have a special arrangement with Travelex Insurance Services who will offer a protection plan which waives pre-existing conditions if purchased within 21 days of the date that your deposit is sent to ACCL. You must call 1-800-228-9792 to request this special coverage. Important: be sure that you provide Travelex with our location number #39-0070 when you call.
