Terms & Conditions

A deposit is necessary to confirm your reservation on a Bliss Cruise. Each cruise will have a Deposit and Payment schedule posted on the booking website. Depending upon the time of booking, the payment may be broken into staggered payments. Consult the Bliss Cruise website for payment schedule.

Failure to make payments or make final payment on the due date may subject your reservation to cancellation.

If paying by credit card, all progress payments will be made automatically on the due dates. You are responsible for notifying your travel professional to request a change in your form of payment or if your charge card expires anytime during the scheduled payment dates.

Money orders and major charge cards such as American Express, Visa and Master card are accepted as payment for deposits and progress payments. Make your money order payable to your travel provider.

Progress payment dates are set for each cruise based on the sail date of the cruise. The dates are posted with the cruise details.

Cabin rates and fees are posted in U.S. Dollars $. Cabin rates are expressed as double occupancy based on an adult couple, 21 years of age or more; one male and one female.

When Bliss Cruise has applied your deposit or full payment, your rate is secure except in the event of substantial increases in operating costs, fuel surcharges, tariffs or taxes prior to the departure date. In such cases, Bliss Cruise reserves the right to add a surcharge, not to exceed $70 per person. All assessed government or quasi-government fees and taxes are subject to change without notice at any time, and Bliss Cruise reserves the right to add a surcharge for these fees and taxes whether you have a confirmed booking under deposit or have made final payment. Should Bliss Cruise lower the rate for the specified class of accommodation on the ship, you will receive the difference in an onboard credit for the cruise. This credit must be used on the cruise and is not refundable. In addition, the cruise line reserves the right to add a fuel surcharge, subject to guidelines defined in the website of the cruise line.

Additional costs for Gratuities, Government taxes, Port Charges, Security and other fees are not included in the cabin price per person. These additional fees will be listed separately from the cabin price as one amount in the Bliss Cruise. The fees are subject to change as defined in the previous paragraph.

Bliss Cruise controls all inventory on the ship and there may be a situation whereby a cabin change may be made within the same cabin category. Should this occur, Bliss Cruise will provide a $100/cabin onboard credit.

Bliss Cruise will maintain a "Cabin Guarantee List" for each cabin category. Any cancellation will be filled via the Guarantee List first. To be eligible for the "Cabin Guarantee List" a customer must first purchase and pay a cabin deposit.

NOTE: Should any client decide that they will not be attending the Bliss Cruise charter, the sale will be a cancellation and the appropriate monies as outlined on the Bliss Cruise booking link will be refunded to the client. As the inventory is owned by Bliss Cruise, the client cannot sell the cabin to anyone else.

Any cabin purchased from Bliss Cruise, or one of its Travel Affiliates, is for the cabin ONLY. Any special pricing, promotions, offers or discounts of any type offered by the cruise line for one of their regular scheduled voyages are not part of the Bliss Cruise program and will not be honored. In addition, some cabins may have limited amenities during a Bliss Cruise charter.

Cancellations may be made at any time for any reason. Cancellations must be made in writing. No verbal cancellations will be accepted.

Send the written Cancellation Request via email to: reservations@blisscruise.com

Cancellations are governed by and subject to the cancellation refund policy as defined on the Bliss Cruise website. Each client has the right to cancel their cruise for any reason and will receive their appropriate refund. Please be advised that Bliss Cruise also has the absolute right to cancel any clients booking for any reason whatsoever. Should this occur, Bliss Cruise will provide a 100% refund to the client.

All cabins and bookings require double occupancy, one male one female. In the event a client arrives at the dock unannounced as a single, they may be denied access with no refund. However, on a case by case basis, Bliss Cruise may allow the client to board with a minimum of a $750.00 charge.

The terms of the cancellation policy and fees are subject to change and are specific for each cruise. See the individual cruise page for policy details.

The U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) administers a variety of trade embargoes and economic sanctions programs that are applied to some countries.

Currently, the most restrictive measures are imposed against the following Sanctioned Countries: Cuba, Iran, Sudan, North Korea and Syria

U.S. law prohibits us from providing services and engaging in business transactions with individuals and entities located in or residents of these Sanctioned Countries. This prohibition also extends to doing business with Sanctioned Countries indirectly through third parties. This means we cannot, either directly or indirectly through a third party market or sell vacations, make bookings, reserve tours or excursions, and provide other travel-related services to individuals or entities located in or residents of these Sanctioned Countries. To ensure compliance with these laws, we must adhere to these requirements. We know these restrictions can be challenging to our business because we operate in a global market, but as we continue to expand our operations we must maintain our vigilance in adhering to applicable trade sanctions laws.
