Paul Gauguin booking deposits, payment timing and cancellation terms should be reviewed before you commit to a sailing. Terms can vary by date, fare, offer, stateroom category and current cruise line rules.
We help travellers confirm the current booking details before deposit so there are fewer surprises later.
What to Confirm Before Deposit
Before deposit, confirm:
- Sailing date
- Itinerary
- Stateroom category
- Exact stateroom number, if assigned
- Deposit amount
- Final payment date
- Cancellation terms
- Current inclusions
- Taxes and fees
- Any applicable offers
- Flights or hotel arrangements
- Travel insurance timing
Do not assume an old quote or past promotion still applies.
Quote vs Booking
A quote is not the same as a confirmed booking.
A quote usually shows current pricing and availability at the time it is prepared. Space and pricing can change until the booking is confirmed according to supplier terms.
If you are interested in a specific sailing or cabin, respond quickly so current availability can be checked again.
Payment Timing
Deposit and final payment timing should be reviewed carefully.
Travellers should also consider insurance timing. Some insurance benefits may depend on when coverage is purchased relative to the first trip payment.
Canadian travellers should also think about currency exchange and payment method.
Cancellation Terms
Cancellation terms can vary and should be read before deposit.
Important questions include:
- When do penalties begin?
- What is refundable?
- Are flights or hotels separate?
- Are promotional fares more restrictive?
- How does insurance apply?
- What happens if only one traveller cancels?
- Are name changes allowed?
These are not questions to leave until after booking.
How much is the deposit for Paul Gauguin Cruises?
Deposit amounts can vary by current terms, fare and sailing. Confirm the exact amount before booking.
When is final payment due?
Final payment timing depends on the current booking terms for your sailing.
Can pricing change after a quote?
Pricing and availability can change until the booking is confirmed under current terms.
Should I buy insurance before deposit?
You should review insurance timing before or shortly after deposit, since some benefits may depend on purchase timing.
