Payments

Once we receive your booking form, we will process it as soon as possible. Your booking is confirmed once you receive the voyage confirmation and invoice. We recommend waiting to book flights, transfers, or accommodation until this confirmation has been issued as some voyages require a minimum of 10 persons to sail the ship. Payments are made by bank transfer. Please include your name and invoice number as a reference. We will confirm receipt by email once the transfer is received. Please allow time for the payment to process. We advise bringing some cash for onboard expenses and additional payments in port.

For full details, please read the Rules & Regulations for Florette.
