FAQs
How far in advance should I plan?
Respond
Respond:
The amount you plan in advance depends on what time of year you want to travel and how much time you have. If your heart is set on a particular itinerary, it is best to plan as far in advance as possible, particularly if you are traveling during the busy holiday, spring break, or summer seasons. Many customers book tours over a year in advance because they prefer the higher-class cabins that sell out rather quickly. However, if you like to travel on a whim, last-minute bookings offer great bargains—just don't expect to get the best accommodations.
