    • Explore!Operator•Written February 2026

      For our March 7th 2026 departure, we have released the space we were holding with the local accommodation. For any new bookings, we would need to request the space back at the time of booking. To request the space, we do require full payment. Once the space is requested, we typically hear back about availability within 3 - 5 business days.
