CRUISE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
  • We recommend all guests arrive at the wharf at least 15 minutes prior to commencement of boarding time to collect your boarding pass. Please allow sufficient time for travel as all of our cruises will depart at the designated time on your cruise confirmation
  • The boat will not wait for any passengers beyond the designated departure time. Even in the instance a few passengers within a group are running late, the boat will not wait for them to join the cruise. No refund or credit will be issued for passengers who do not board the cruise on time
  • We would appreciate the support of all adults / parents to ensure that all children onboard under the age of 17 must remain seated at the table. If children are on the outer decks, they must be accompanied by an adult at all times. It is the responsibility of the guest to ensure that their children do not run around the boat, which may cause safety issues. It is also important to ensure children do not disturb any other passengers. Failure to comply may lead to the removal of the group from the vessel. The company will not be responsible for any accidents due to non-compliance to this strict guideline.
  • Photography of the show is strictly prohibited

If infants are booked, we will facilitate extra space for stroller or pram on request.

  • There are no baby-changing facilities on board
