REFUNDS & CANCELLATION POLICY: All payments made to Sarai Enterprises, LLC (d/b/a Southern Soul at Sea and/or Sarai Events) are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Package rates do not include personal expenses—such as laundry, beverages, non-included meals, passport/visa fees, insurance, or foreign port taxes—unless specifically stated in the inclusions.

If a price increase occurs, you may cancel for a full refund by providing written notice within five days of receiving the price increase notification.
PASSPORTS AND VISAS: Guests are responsible for ensuring they possess the correct travel documentation. Please verify entry requirements, including visa and passport needs, with the appropriate consulate or visa agency well in advance of your trip. Passports must remain valid for at least six months beyond your scheduled travel date, and certain destinations require blank pages for entry stamps.

Guests are responsible for selecting and securing their own insurance coverage for both domestic and international travel.
