UNFORSEEN EVENTS / TRIP INSURANCE / TRIP INTERRUPTION

Rocio del Mar and Quino el Guardian vessels are of the utmost seaworthiness and are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and Mexican Coast Guard. Both vessels are equipped with state-of-the-art electronics and all required safety equipment.

Passenger safety is paramount and therefore the captain has the sole discretion to change, delay, return early or cancel the cruise if necessary. These reasons include but are not limited to bad weather, perils of the sea, acts of God, poliltical incidents or force majeure.

Trip insurance is suggested as it provides you with reimbursement for unused, non-refundable, pre-paid trip costs if you are prevented from taking your trip due to a covered reason. All trip insurance is not the same so it is important to make sure that you purchase travel insurance that includes travel interruption.

FUEL SURCHARGE

Rocio del Mar and Quino el Guardian reserves the right to implement a fuel surcharge on all trips in the event the cost of fuel surpasses 20 pesos a liter. Should this occur, all guests will be notified prior to boarding.

ROOM ASSIGNMENTS

The Crew of the Rocio del Mar and Quino el Guardian reserve the right to allocate room assignments as needed. Rooms aboard the Quino are typically assigned by gender.
