    Asked on January 5th, 2026

    If they cancel prior to 90 days before departure, whether they would get their deposit back? Additionally, could you please confirm the price for the panoramic cabin and provide pricing for all cabin levels? Lastly, are you able to share the names of the hotels at this time?

    • Avalon WaterwaysOperatorWritten January 2026

      Prior to 90 days is loss of deposit
      -90-60 days prior to commencement of services: 35% of total price*
      -59-30 days prior to commencement of services: 50% of total price*
      -29-1 days prior to commencement of services: 80% of total price*
      -On departure day and later: 100% of total price*
      The price for a Category P Twin on the Royal deck amounts to CAD 27,306/- after discount. We won't be able to provide pricing for all the cabins as they are far too many. Your welcome to select a cabin and we could provide pricing for the same. Alternatively, if your pax has a budget we can quote a cabin in that budget.
