Spirit of Adventure - Christmas 2020

[saintgeorge]

Does anyone have any thoughts whether this cruise will actually happen ??

In view of the problems on Hurtigruten ship and others I have my doubts.

[nosapphire]

Very debatable.

First, the FCO advice has to change. Then the destination ports have to accept cruise ships - bearing in mind that the Spanish ban is still indefinite.

Plus I really cannot see the Tenerife Christmas concert going ahead - it may be open-air, but there are several thousand people in very close proximity.

Even if it the cruise does go ahead, with the expected restrictions it probably won't be that much fun anyway.

We were booked on this as a back-to-back with the now cancelled Amsterdam short cruise, so decided that we may as well cancel now before the final balance comes due.

Does this mean that you lose your deposit ?

[nosapphire]

Not in this case, no, the deposit will be refunded. Partly because the cruise was no longer as we booked it (the first 4 days were cancelled) and also because as we booked this cruise some time ago with Saga's included insurance we had the "peace of mind" letter sent out in March allowing us to cancel any cruise departing June-December 2020 up to 14 days prior to departure without penalty.
