Cancellation Policy

All cancellations must be sent to us in writing, prior to your departure date.  A cancellation fee will be charged based on the total amount of weeks remaining, prior to your check-in date, from which you cancel.  In the event that you should cancel after your departure date (for whatever reason, including travel delays), no portion of the tour price will be refunded. 

 Please note, that no refund will be issued to you for any unused services, included in your tour.  No refund will be issued in the event that you should experience a lack of sailing time, due to wind loss or weather not suitable for sailing.

  Liability

The Royal Cleopatra will make every effort to ensure that all travel arrangements and services, connected with your tour, will be carried out as specified.  However, in some instances we do not have direct control over the provision of services by suppliers, security/authorities on the River, and weather conditions.  Therefore, we do not accept liability for errors and/or omissions of such suppliers and travel changes/delays due to elements beyond our control.

The Royal Cleopatra is a wind driven vessel and is subject to the weather condition on the Nile River.  A tow boat will accompany your sail along your journey.  In case of wind loss or weather not suitable for sailing, the captain will retain the right to use his own discretion in whether to continue sailing, be towed, or in rare cases move clientele on shore.  If for any unforeseen reason clients are requested to disembark, we will reserve the right to switch your accommodation to either another boat or hotel, but ensure the switch will be made to the same category of hotel/cruise available at that time.

 The Royal Cleopatra is not responsible for travel delays prior to departure or during your tour that are brought about by technical difficulties, strikes, bad weather, or any means beyond our control.  Sometimes Nile River delays can alter the tour itinerary.  These alterations do not constitute a refund. 

 The Royal Cleopatra will not be held liable for any loss, damage, injury, sickness, delay, or any other irregularity that may be occasioned by any defect in any vehicle, accident, or any other form of error or default of any company and/or person engaged in conveying passengers, carrying out the arrangements of the tour, or otherwise in connection therewith.  In addition, we will reserve the right to refuse to carry any passengers and/or goods without assigning reason therefore and/or offering a refund.

 Please note, that the Nile River does have distinct currents and wind directions that are characteristic of this particular river.  Other river rules and regulations for sailing do not apply.  Thus, in no situation will clients be able to intervene in the Captain’s decisions on how to navigate the boat.  The crew is highly skilled in maneuvering this type of vessel and sailing the Nile River. 

 General Information

- We highly recommend that you obtain travel insurance prior to your departure date.
- Passengers are recommended to reconfirm their international flight approximately 72 hours in advance of their departure time.  Failure to do so might result in the cancellation of a flight reservation by the airline and a delay in your travel plans.  If you should need assistance in reconfirming your flight while on the boat, please feel free to alert the Captain and we will make arrangements to re-confirm your flight for you.

- Please specify any special requests you may have at the time of your booking.  We will accept your personal request with the understanding that we will make every effort to comply.  Although, we cannot guarantee that your special request will be met.

- Passengers are responsible in ensuring that they are in possession of the correct travel documents upon departure and they have met all health requirements.  Please check with the nearest consulate office for information concerning travel visas before you travel and if you are required to obtain this or any other document in advance.

- You are welcome to enjoy your alcoholic beverages on-board the boat.  However, we recommend that you make your purchase of these beverages prior to check-in/boarding.  It is best to purchase alcoholic beverages at any of the duty free shops, prior to exiting any of the airports here in Egypt. Or, the crew will be happy to offer you wine & beer, which is stocked on-board, at an additional charge.  Please feel free to inquire with them during your sailing excursion.
