Teeming River Cruises  |  Teeming Travel

Corporate Headquarters   1331 Hibiscus Avenue Winter Park, FL 32789


We at Teeming River Cruises want to do everything we can to make sure your trip is as enjoyable as possible. We look forward to having you as a guest and wish to provide you with the details of the Terms and Conditions of your travel with us. Please read the following details carefully, as the payment or purchase of any travel services offered by Teeming River Cruises constitutes a contractual arrangement between the passenger (you) and Teeming River Cruises, and represents your acceptance of the Teeming River Cruises Terms and Conditions.

PRICES

All prices are per person in U.S. Dollars based on double occupancy (2 people sharing a room) unless otherwise stated. Prices are capacity controlled. Items not included in the published price include, but are not limited to, airfares to and from destination, transfers, passport and visa fees, insurance (health, accident, baggage, or travel protection plans), items of a personal nature such as laundry, spa and salon services, mini bar purchases, food outside of the contracted Teeming River Cruises regular menu as presented on board vessel, alcoholic beverages and soda, along with other items of a personal nature. Optional Shore Excursions are not included in the cruise price as well as foreign port tax unless specifically indicated in the package inclusions.
Teeming River Cruises reserves the right to vary cruise or tour prices at any time, in its complete discretion, to account for any increase in costs, including but not limited to exchange rate fluctuations, fuel, government taxes, and charges, port costs, royalties and other taxes, or other unforeseen economic circumstances. If we are forced to adjust any prices, the difference either up or down will be collected or refunded on the date they become due or with final payment. In any case, no price change will be made within 30 days before departure.
In case of electronic, clerical, printing or human error, Teeming River Cruises reserves the right to re-invoice for the correct price. A full refund will be issued to passengers who choose not to pay this corrected price, provided Teeming River Cruises receives a written cancellation notification within five days of the notice of the price increase.

RESERVATION DEPOSITS AND PAYMENTS

A nonrefundable, per person deposit of at least 50% of the cruise fare or tour price is required at the time of booking.  Payment in full is due at least 90 days prior to departure and secures the reservation. If there is an outstanding balance by the final payment due date listed on passenger’s invoice, passenger’s reservations, including all services, will be automatically billed to the credit card on file along with the “No Cash Discount Adj”. In order to bring Teeming River Cruises’ low prices directly to the consumers, all cruise payments are non-refundable. We wish our guests never had to cancel or interrupt their vacation, but occasionally things beyond their control force them to change their plans. Teeming River Cruises recommends the purchase of Travel Insurance to protect your cruise payments. Although this protection plan is optional, it is strongly recommended. Any travel insurance purchased is nonrefundable once paid to Teeming River Cruises.

FORM OF PAYMENT

Visa, MasterCard, Discover, US Dollar check, and bank check are all acceptable forms of payment. All payments made by check should be made payable to Teeming River Cruises. There is a $50 fee for returned checks. Money Orders, Wire Transfers, and Debit Cards are not acceptable. Third-party credit cards are not acceptable. All payments made within 30 days of departure must be made by credit card.
Reservation Down-Payment must be made on Guests’ credit card. The remaining balance is payable by “cash” (i.e. personal check, cashier’s check, or certified bank check) in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank to take advantage of the cash discount (5% discount); or by credit card (no cash discount). The total quoted fare includes the no cash discount price. If you pay the remaining balance via “cash”, you will receive the cash discount price and the “No Cash Discount Adj” fee will be removed.

RESERVATION CONFIRMATION AND CHANGES

Guests are responsible for verifying that everything on their invoice is accurate and complete, including names of vacation participants, dates of travel, and options selected. Note each name must match the relevant passport. Teeming River Cruises cannot accept responsibility if we are not notified of inaccuracies within 5 days of sending out the TeemingRC Confirmation. Changes are subject to the charges and penalties noted below. In the case of billing errors, Teeming River Cruises reserves the right to re-invoice the guests with correct pricing.
Changes to an existing reservation, whatever the cause, are subject to a $50 per person charge plus any additional supplier fees. This includes name changes. Changes or additions after departure are subject to local rates at the time of change and in some cases must be paid directly by the guest to the service provider. There are no changes or refunds for excursions or other additional services. There are no refunds for unused services.

FLIGHT ARRANGEMENTS

Teeming River Cruises does not make your airfare reservations.  Guests must make their own flight arrangements. Teeming River Cruises will not be responsible for late arrivals or missed transfers due to delayed or canceled flights, missed cruise/trip days, or any resulting extra costs from the above scenarios.

AIRPORT/SHIP TRANSFERS

Guests must make their own transfer arrangements.

VALUABLES

Teeming River Cruises, the tour operator, and/or the shipowner shall not be answerable for the loss of or damage to valuable items (such as money, legal documents, identity papers, jewelry, keys, medical products, and other personal property). We kindly request you not leave valuable items unattended. Furthermore, we recommend you not leave any such valuable items in the luggage you have entrusted to carriers. Teeming River Cruises cannot be held responsible in the event of damage to, loss of, or theft of personal effects.

BAGGAGE

Although Teeming River Cruises has no baggage limit, tour operators and airlines may have baggage restrictions. Airlines may also impose additional fees for checked baggage and/or excess baggage. In the event of loss, late delivery, or damage to luggage in the context of air transfers, it is the passenger’s responsibility to fill in the luggage complaint form at the airport with the airline. Additional taxes and surcharges may be collected by a foreign government and non-government entities. Guests must keep an eye on their baggage—it is their responsibility throughout the trip. Teeming River Cruises is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to baggage and/or personal belongings at any time during the cruise or tour, or on included transfers and other transportation. Prior to departure, passengers are advised to double-check all drawers, closets, safes, under the bed, and in cabinets to ensure no personal items are left behind. It is cost prohibitive to return left-behind items. A protection plan covering lost, stolen or damaged baggage can be secured by purchasing travel insurance.
Animals, hazardous objects, and products, such as illegal substances, firearms, weapons and knives, explosives, oxygen, compressed air, or inflammable products, etc. are strictly prohibited. The ship owner or tour operator reserves the right to deny boarding or entry if you are in possession of such items. You will be responsible for all damage suffered by the ship owner or tour operator owing to the failure to abide by the aforementioned obligations.

DOCUMENTS

Teeming River Cruises will email passengers a confirmation when the initial payment and final payments are made. Any additional information will also be emailed to passengers. No hard copies will be mailed.

PASSPORT/VISAS/FOREIGN ENTRY REQUIREMENT

Guests are responsible for ensuring that they must meet the immigration and customs formalities in force at the time the trip takes place, including any necessary tourist and transit visas and health certificates, and vaccinations, for all countries through which the cruise and/or tour itinerary passes. Note, vacation participants are responsible for having the proper travel documents and are obligated to check with the respective consulate(s) or the visa agency to determine whether any visas or passports are required. Guests must have a passport valid for at least six months following the end of the tour and necessary visas when boarding the ship or beginning the tour. Some countries may require a full blank page in the passport for stamping purposes. Due to airline security measures, passenger’s passport name must match their airline ticket name or they may be denied boarding. For more information, please contact the appropriate government agency at www.travel.state.gov . Non-US citizens should check with the respective consulate of the country(s) to be visited for current entry requirements. Please be aware that the process of obtaining a passport may take up to 3 months.
If you are not permitted to board a flight or entry into a country, owing to your failure to present documents required by the authorities, you may not claim a refund of any kind and are solely responsible for all costs incurred. If incorrect documents are obtained, you may not be able to participate in particular shore excursions and may be denied boarding and/ or entry into certain countries.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Teeming River Cruises makes every effort to ensure that guests’ trips are safe and enjoyable. However, situations beyond our and their control may occur. We wish our passengers and guests never had to cancel or interrupt their vacation, but occasionally things beyond their control force them to change their plans. We strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance. Travel Insurance offers a comprehensive plan to address many travel concerns such as trip cancellation and interruption, lost and delayed baggage benefits, and emergency medical coverage. Keep in mind that as a passenger, your health plan coverage for a stay outside the US may be limited. If you decline insurance coverage, you will personally assume full responsibility for any financial loss associated with your travel arrangements, and you could lose your travel investment and/or have to pay more money to correct the situation.
The vacation participant agrees that neither Teeming River Cruises nor its affiliates shall be liable for any damage, loss (including personal injury, death, and property loss), or expense occasioned by any act or omission of any supplier providing services, any insurer or insurance administrator under the Travel Protection plan, or any other person.

ITINERARY CHANGES

The shipowner reserves the right to cancel cruises and/or tours for circumstances of force majeure, recurrent climatic or natural events (high and low water, cyclones, etc.), or circumstances that may render it impossible to enjoy certain service provisions for reasons relating to passenger safety, at any time prior to departure or during the cruise and/or tour. The very nature of a river, its sources, and networks of bridges and locks means that there will be times when weather or other conditions in a region require ships to make adjustments and/or modifications to an itinerary. Although every effort will be made to keep itineraries and tour packages as presented, substitutions may be necessary. In such cases, steps will be taken to make sure the locations visited, the shore excursions taken, and the hotels or vessels offered are like the ones originally arranged. (Note, national monuments and tourist sites regularly undergo renovations, which can obscure views of the site.) Any changes to itineraries will not result in eligibility for a refund. Itineraries are subject to change without notice and may need to be altered specifically because of water levels, wind factors, or other conditions. Passengers who choose to cancel or interrupt their cruise or cruise tour due to an itinerary change will not be issued a refund.
The captain is the sole master on board and may decide at any time to divert the ship or cancel a port of call. The captain may cancel the cruise or modify the itinerary of the cruise if he judges it appropriate to the interests of passengers and the safety of the vessel.
Possible unforeseen circumstances (civil or religious festivals, political demonstrations, strikes, breakdowns, traffic jams, changes by government authorities, inclement weather, or other legitimate reason) may bring about modifications to visits or excursions for which Teeming River Cruises is not responsible. Some ports of call may be reversed, curtailed, or canceled, particularly for the reasons stated above. No other compensation will be payable.

CHANGE IN CABIN CATEGORY OR NUMBER BY THE SHIPOWNER

For technical or operational reasons, river companies or shipowners may assign a passenger a cabin other than the one set or chosen upon the reservation. In that event, the new allotted cabin should be at least in the same classification. Such change shall not be considered a valid cancellation reason for the client, nor a significant change in the contract and shall entitle no compensation.

EXCURSIONS

Optional shore excursions presented on Teeming River Cruises’ website are offered through local service providers and are independent of Teeming River Cruises. Teeming River Cruises reserves the right to reschedule and/or cancel any shore excursions if the minimum number of participants is not met or for other circumstances (including but not limited to weather, safety, closure of sites by local authorities, and strikes). If passengers choose to cancel their reserved shore excursion, there will be no refund given. Although Teeming River Cruises itineraries contain recommendations for optional port excursions and/or activities for passenger’s leisure time; these suggestions do not constitute an endorsement of any specific service provider, regardless if Teeming River Cruises suggested the local providers and/or assisted the passengers in the booking process with said provider. The decision to participate in any such shore excursions or leisure activities should be made independently and with due consideration. Accordingly, Teeming River Cruises has no liability for any optional shore excursion or suggested activities (including any acts or omissions of operators, organizers, agents or employees associated with these excursions and activities).

COMPLIANCE WITH THE TIMING OF STOPOVERS

On stopovers at ports, the latest time for returning to the vessel along with the departure time of the vessel are announced on board. Guests are responsible to observe and abide by the assigned times. Teeming River Cruises has no liability in the event of failure of passengers to board at the stipulated time. No refund or compensation shall be payable to the guests for any losses incurred due to their failure to observe the appointed time.

ADVANCED, CANCELED OR DELAYED SAILING

Teeming River Cruises reserves the right to cancel, advance or postpone any scheduled sailing date and may, but is not obligated to, substitute hotels or vessels. Teeming River Cruises shall not be liable for any loss to passengers because of any such cancellation, advancement or postponement. In the event of cancellation by Teeming River Cruises, passengers’ sole right of recourse shall be to obtain a full refund in the form of a future travel credit.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Passengers must follow the instructions of Teeming River Cruises, its affiliates, crew members, tour operators, and local service providers at all times to ensure safety on the trip, the vessel, at ports, and on shore excursions. Weapons of any kind are not permitted on a Teeming River Cruises tour, vessel or on escorted shore excursions. Passengers should be mindful that during their participation on vacations conducted by Teeming River Cruises, inherent risks and dangers may occur beyond the company’s control (including, but not limited to, political unrest; terrorism; acts of lawlessness; accident or illness in isolated regions lacking the means of rapid evacuation or medical facilities; the hazards of traveling in foreign territories; and acts of God). Teeming River Cruises is not responsible or liable for any such risks and dangers. Furthermore, Teeming River Cruises will not have liability regarding the availability, accessibility, provision, or adequacy of any medical care provided. By agreeing to participate in a tour, vacation and/or optional shore excursions offered through Teeming River Cruises, guests agree that they will hold Teeming River Cruises harmless for any such provision of medical care or services. Payment of passengers’ deposit indicates acceptance of the associated safety and security risks and dangers, as well as passengers’ agreement to hold Teeming River Cruises harmless from these aforementioned risks and dangers.
Security, along with safety, is a major concern to Teeming River Cruises and the situation globally is continually shifting. Events around the world, coupled with the Travel Advisories issued by the US Government, may at times necessitate changes to the itinerary or even trip cancellation. Risks are involved in travel to any country and passengers could experience security difficulties. Passengers must accept these risks and assume responsibility for their own travel decisions.

HEALTH

For full enjoyment of Teeming River Cruises vacations, guests should select a trip that is well suited to their physical health and abilities. Passengers who require any form of assistance due to physical handicaps like sight or hearing impairments are required to notify Teeming River Cruises prior to booking. Furthermore, potential guests are advised that individuals with heart disease, chronic illness, advanced pregnancy, or mental illness are not well suited to participate in these demanding travel itineraries.
When notified of any such health condition or disability, Teeming River Cruises will require a medical condition form filled out and signed by guest’s physician. Teeming River Cruises reserves the right to reject a potential passenger from the cruise and/or remove any person from a tour due to the failure of the passenger to provide required notification and/or when, in our sole judgment, continued participation would considerably impede the services to be provided to all passengers.
To participate in all tours, guests must be able to understand and follow instructions given by the cruise director or tour guides to ensure their safety, as well as, the successful operation of the tour.
Teeming River Cruises reserves the right to remove or quarantine any guest from the group who arrives at the destination showing signs of illness or who becomes ill during the tour, thereby posing a threat to the health and safety of other participants. This removal or quarantine will be at the sole discretion of Teeming River Cruises and/or their representatives, the ship’s captain or local tour operators. The ill guest will be directed to a local medical facility for examination. Only upon clearance by an accredited medical facility or licensed health practitioner (verifying the passenger’s fitness to travel without posing a health or safety threat to fellow vacation participants) will the guest be permitted to resume group activities. All expenses and any losses incurred as a result of the medical treatment and services (including but not limited to examination, diagnosis, treatment, any other medically-related charges, additional hotel stays and related transportation, meals and alternate travel plans) will be the sole responsibility of the said guest.
Check with your healthcare provider or a Travel Medicine Specialist for guidance regarding inoculations. You may also check the Centers for Disease Control and/or the World Health Organization for their recommendations by country.

MEDICAL SERVICES

No medical services are offered aboard ships or on tours. Any required medical attention will be administered by a local facility at the guest’s expense. Teeming River Cruises cannot guarantee the availability or quality of local medical services or facilities. Resulting charges will be the sole responsibility of the guest.

MOBILITY

Teeming River Cruises endeavors to provide a safe, enjoyable, and memorable travel experience for all guests. Unfortunately, Teeming River Cruises is not equipped or staffed to provide personal services (such as assistance walking, getting on and off the ship, coaches or other forms of transportation, etc.). Likewise, tour operators, guides, drivers or hotel personnel are not able to provide such assistance. A qualified and able body companion should accompany guests who need such individual assistance. Guests must report to Teeming River Cruises at the time of reservation any mobility issues. Vacation participants should be aware that many tours include rough terrain, extensive walking over cobblestone streets, uneven pavement, steps and locations which may not be easily accessible. We recommend passengers wear footwear suitable for time on board the ship and for excursions with non-slip soles. In the interests of group harmony, guests should be able to maintain the pace of the tour. Passengers with special needs would be better served independently, scheduling private tours more suitable to their level of mobility.

WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS AND SERVICE ANIMALS

This is an international tour. Hotels and river cruises outside of the United States are not required to comply with ADA requirements and therefore may not have ramps, wide entryways or elevators to accommodate disabled passengers or devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters. Due to physical constraints and space limitations, wheelchairs, walkers, and motorized scooters may not be taken aboard motor coaches and river cruises.
Furthermore, service animals cannot be accommodated on international escorted tours.

YOUNG TRAVELERS

Passengers who are less than 18 years of age must be accompanied and share a stateroom with a parent, legal guardian or other responsible adults over age 21. Adults accompanying children are responsible for their behavior onboard and onshore. There are no connecting cabins on Teeming River Cruises. Children under 8 years of age are not allowed on any Teeming River Cruises. There are no discounts given to young travelers on Teeming River Cruises.
Due to heightened security, many countries have adopted practices to prevent international abductions of children. If a child will be traveling with adults other than the parents or with only one parent, it is recommended that a notarized letter is written by the parents or non-traveling parent granting authorization to travel, including the dates of travel. We suggest that passengers also contact the appropriate consulate and airlines, as they may have additional requirements or recommendations.

SMOKING POLICY

For the comfort of all our passengers, smoking is only permitted in the specifically designated area of our ships. Smoking is not permitted on motorcoaches or any group excursions. This policy applies to all forms of smoking materials including vapor e-cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. Marijuana (whether legal or illegal) or any other illegal drug is strictly prohibited onboard.

NOISE AND VIBRATIONS

Although the crew attempt to minimize noise and vibrations on board the ship, passengers understand that some noises and vibrations may be experienced while on board and agrees that Teeming River Cruises cannot be held responsible for such noise and vibrations.

DIETS

Please be advised that the tour operator or ship crew may not be able to accommodate specific or special diets. Small ships have limited choices aboard and we cannot create or maintain a special menu for passengers’ diet.

PETS

Pets, including service animals, are not permitted on Teeming River Cruises trips.

PHOTOGRAPHIC RELEASE

Trip participants grant Teeming River Cruises permission to photograph and video events during the vacation and cruise to be used for promotional or commercial use without payment of any compensation to the participant.

DENIED BOARDING AND AUTHORITY TO REMOVE PASSENGERS

Teeming River Cruises or the ship’s captain or operator may at their sole discretion deny boarding and transport to any passenger. Moreover, tour operator has the authority to remove any passenger who they reasonably believe to be a danger to himself or herself or to others or is threatening to engage in behavior which may negatively affect the safety, security, enjoyment, or comfort of other passengers or crew members (such as participating in any illegal activity, being verbally or physically abusive, disruptive, obscene, obnoxious, harassing, or discriminatory). Likewise, failure or refusal of the passenger to follow Teeming River Cruises and its representatives, tour operator and crew members’ rules, procedures or instructions is grounds for immediate removal from the ship or tour.
In the event a passenger is denied boarding or removed; such passenger may be left at any port or location without any liability to Teeming River Cruises or any of its related entities. The passenger will not be entitled to any refund, payment, compensation or credit of any kind for unused or missed trip services or charges incurred resulting from the termination of the travel arrangements with Teeming River Cruises. In addition, the passenger will be responsible for their travel costs to return back home. Teeming River Cruises shall be entitled to recover from the passenger any expenses incurred due to their denied boarding or removal.

HOLIDAYS

Passengers should bear in mind, that during both local and national holidays, certain days of the week, for special events, and during religious occasions, certain attractions and facilities (such as museums, churches, sightseeing tours, restaurants, and shops) may be closed to the public. During peak seasons, entrance to some attractions and sites may be limited or not available. Alternatives will be offered whenever possible. Teeming River Cruises cannot be held responsible for any closures, required itinerary changes, or modifications for any reason.

GRATUITIES

It is customary for passengers to give cruise gratuities, subject to their satisfaction with the services rendered. Guests are able to leave tips for the Tour Operator, Ship Crew or Cruise Director at the conclusion of their tour if they choose to do so. It is common to give cruise gratuities, subject to your satisfaction with the services rendered. Gratuities for your Local Hosts, Local Guides and Driver are not included in the cruise price and are discretionary.

DOUBLE DOCKING

Local authorities are responsible for assigning ship docking positions at each port. Consequently, river cruise companies have no control over where they can dock. At times this can result in double docking (i.e. where more than one ship is assigned to the same dock and ships are rafted together), which may temporarily block some views and make access to and from the ship more difficult. Teeming River Cruises will not be responsible for any accessibility problems or inconveniences associated with the ship’s docking assignment.

INABILITY TO SAIL

Neither Teeming River Cruises nor the owners or operators of the vessels shall be liable for delay or inability to sail or perform due to any condition caused by or arising from water level, drought, flooding, severe weather, other acts of God, peril of navigation, repair or maintenance on the river (such as locks, docks or bridges), strikes, civil or labor issues, lockout, fire, explosion, collision, vessel breakdown or damage to the vessel. Neither shall they be responsible for issues caused by or arising from civil commotion, riot, insurrection, war, government restraint, requisitioning of the vessel, political disturbance, acts or threats of terrorism, epidemics, inability to secure or failure of supplies including fuel, and/or other circumstances beyond Teeming River Cruises control. In such cases, part or all of the cruise itinerary may be operated by motor coach and accommodations provided by hotels. If this becomes necessary, Teeming River Cruises will endeavor to provide equal or similar services.

WI-FI

On board ships, Wi-Fi connectivity is offered by an independent third party with separate Terms & Conditions of usage. While on your tour, Wi-Fi connectivity is not guaranteed, may be unavailable, is often disrupted and slow. Typically, guests will not be able to download or stream movies or most video. Onboard Wi-Fi will be best for emails and texting. In many cases, the bandwidth cannot support streaming media types of calling services or apps.

PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION

Personal information supplied ,when requesting information or booking (from the initial inquiry, booking, during the vacation and beyond) is collected by Teeming River Cruises. This data may be used to assist travelers with their vacation arrangements and will be necessary to properly process the guest’s reservation and tours with Teeming River Cruises and their suppliers. These details include but are not limited to guest’s full name, address, date of birth, credit card information, passport number and expiration date and any medical conditions or disabilities disclosed to Teeming River Cruises. Failure of guests to fully and accurately supply the details may result in the guest’s trip being interrupted or canceled. There are no refunds for guest’s failure to provide information by the required time.
Teeming River Cruises may be required to transmit these details to other authorities or foreign countries in which the data protection and privacy laws are less rigorous than ours. Guests, by virtue of booking with Teeming River Cruises, agree to the company using, storing and transmitting this data to other third parties for the above-specified reasons. Guests agree to not hold Teeming River Cruises liable for the usage and protection of the aforementioned data.
Please note that, in addition to Teeming River Cruises contacting guests in relation to their travel arrangements, they may also contact guests following their vacation with details of other vacation opportunities/tours provided by Teeming River Cruises that may be of interest to previous guests (unless informed by guest of their preference to not receive such future opportunities).
