to drought, storms, floods, canal or lock repairs or other unforeseen
circumstances that can make navigation unsafe or impossible. In the

apply: (1) if navigation must be suspended, passengers will continue to
be accommodated on the stationary vessel and regular excursions will
continue to be made, with cruising to be continued as soon as possible;
or (2) we reserve the right to reverse the cruise route, cruise another
waterway or transfer passengers to another vessel of similar standard.
The Captain’s judgment on any action or inaction is considered final.

make alterations to the itinerary or the program inclusions as it deems
necessary or desirable, and to pass on to tour members any costs
caused by delays or events beyond its control.

and special dietary needs) should be advised at time of booking. Please
note that every effort will be made to secure a special request; however,
it cannot be guaranteed in advance of travel.

to decline acceptance of anyone whom it considers unsuitable due to
fitness level. A&K also reserves the right to remove from the trip, at
