How much does it cost to book single accomodation?

We will distribute the itinerary at least 2 weeks before departure. This allows us to make any adjustments needed based on the makeup of our group. We want every trip to be unique and customized to the travel members as a group.

When do I get the itinerary?

Occupancy is usually based on the size of rooms and number of beds and is established to maintain a safe and pleasant environment. The max number of guests in a room cannot be changed. Therefore a family of 4 in a two-bedroom suite is the maximum (2 per bed) unless a pullout couch is available for an additional person although not guaranteed.

Can I book one room for my family?
