Paris & Normandy with AmaWaterways (82nd Anniversary of D-Day Invasion)

Flight Schedules & Airfares: AmaWaterways offers special airfares based on the flight and seat availability of contracted carriers . We are able to accept a traveler’s choice of preferred air carrier, flight schedule, and some deviations so long as the requests are made at the time of booking the airline reservation. To hold/confirm an airline reservation, the airlines require your full legal name as it appears on your passport. For contract airline fares, a non-refundable deposit of $350 per person for Economy and Premium Economy class or $600 per person for Business and First-class tickets is required to issue ticket(s) within 24 hours for the flight schedule. Any quoted price is not guaranteed, as well as when changes are requested by the guest, such as name or date changes, or if an airline-imposed schedule change is not accepted prior to ticketing. Once your airline tickets have been issued, any changes will be subject to penalty, and any applicable fare differential, if not cancelled within 24 hours of ticketing. Any itineraries that include intra-air flights require a non-refundable deposit (also applies to combination cruises). Should the name on your airline reservation not match your passport exactly, your airline reservation will have to be cancelled, full penalties will be assessed, and your reservation will have to be recreated subject to market pricing at the time of the new reservation. Any air schedules provided by AmaWaterways are subject to change without notice as imposed by the carrier due to reasons beyond our control . Airfares in conjunction with promotional offers are subject to specific terms as outlined with offer details.

Air tickets are Economy class. Upgrading to Premium Economy, Business or First class is possible for an additional charge pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant airline(s). AmaWaterways guarantees upgrades for long-haul flights, but not U.S. domestic flights, intra-Europe, intra-Colombia, intra-Asia, intra-Egypt and intra-Africa flights. Upgrades may not be possible when an air carrier changes the schedule, aircraft type, experiences a strike, overbooking or flight interruption of any kind. Air carriers reserve the right to do all the above. In such cases, all claims for airfare adjustment must be requested directly to the air carrier.

Air carriers require the passenger name to appear on the airline ticket exactly it appears on the passport. If it does not match exactly, AmaWaterways shall not be responsible or liable for the consequences which could include re-issue fees or denial of boarding. AmaWaterways shall not be responsible or liable for costs resulting from airline schedule changes , lost air ticket, delay, disruption or cancelled flight, lost or damaged baggage, missed connections, downgrades, denied boarding or voluntarily buying replacement tickets. Should a replacement ticket be purchased without collaboration or approval with an AmaWaterways representative, this cost will be incurred to the guest alone and AmaWaterways will have no obligation to refund the cost of any new ticket purchased . In any of these instances, claim must be made directly with the air carrier (and air carrier alone) for any requested reimbursement. In the event any situations as noted occur whilst traveling, AmaWaterways Emergency team will attempt to accommodate and book an alternative, however this cannot be guaranteed and the final accommodation provided will be at the sole discretion of the airline carrier. Once airline check in is completed and/or tickets have been reissued by the airline (at any time during the booking process), AmaWaterways will be limited to making further changes on a guest ’s air tickets as the airline will have sole control of the guest’s PNR and/or ticket after this time and all changes must be handled directly with the airline by the guest. This is also the case for any post travel resolution or reimbursement requests for air - these must be directed to the air carrier by the guest and AmaWaterways is not able to assist as traveler must initiate all claims directly . Airline responses and subsequent resolutions may take up to 9 months or more if the airline is willing to consider the request. AmaWaterways recommends that in all situations as listed above , all receipts are retained for costs for submission of claims to the guest’s insurance company, should these situations be deemed a coverable reason under their insurance policy.

AmaWaterways will endeavor to book guests traveling together on conjunction bookings on the same air schedule where possible if the requests are made at the time of booking the airline reservation . All requests are subject to availability, at time of booking, and with the full knowledge by AmaWaterways that guests are requesting to be booked on the same schedule . As airline-imposed schedule changes are beyond our control, AmaWaterways cannot guarantee airline protection will be the same for all guests traveling together and as such , in the event of a schedule change, guests on conjunction bookings, may be protected on different flights accordingly .
