What is included
•
Acccommodation on board MS Columbus for the duration of the cruise in a cabin or suite as chosen. For In Pursuit of Caravaggio a night in a hotel in Rome is also included.
•
Nearly all meals from dinner on the first day to breakfast on the last. Sometimes lunch is provided on the first or last day as well. Nearly all of the meals are on the ship but occasionally lunches are in restaurants ashore. There are a few picnic lunches during The Romans in Africa.
•
Wine of good quality with lunch and dinner. Beer or soft drinks may be chosen as an alternative. (When in Libyan waters, all alcoholic consumption on the ship may be forbidden.)
•
Bottled water and soft drinks from your minibar and with lunch and dinner. Water is also on board excursion coaches.
•
Flights from the UK to an airport near the ship on the first day and from near the ship to the UK on the last day. Sometimes these are regular scheduled services and sometimes a specially chartered aircraft – see the description of each cruise for details.
•
Nearly all excursions and visits are included in the price. The few exceptions are optional excursions which are alternatives to the main programme and which involve extra costs such as lunch.
•
Coach transport between airport and ship is also included, of course. When moored near a place of interest which is not within easy walking distance, coaches are provided for independent visits.
•
The lectures on board and ashore, and local guides where provided.
•
Concerts and other performances as described in these pages, ashore and on board.
•
All tips. There is no need to give anything to waiters, chambermaids, guides, drivers, anyone – we do it on your behalf.
•
All taxes, port taxes and other necessary charges.
•
Printed information including all essential practical details concerning the cruise as well as site plans, city maps and historical and other background information.
Not included: visas, drinks from the bar, medical treatment, internet access, laundry and other services of a personal nature.
