Refunds are credited back to the original booking party and purchasing channel. Star Clippers Americas is only responsible for refunding funds actually received. Any third-party cancellation penalties assessed by air carriers, hotels, or land transfer suppliers will be deducted from eligible refunds. No refunds are granted to guests who fail to board the vessel or who cancel after voyage commencement.
Cancellation Policies are subject to change by the cruise line. For the most current Star Clipper Cruises and Refund Policies, please refer to the Star Clipper Cruises website or a Star Clipper Cruises brochure.
