Trans Canada by Rail FAQ
What is included in my cruise fare?
Your cruise fare typically includes your accommodations, onboard meals, entertainment, and many onboard amenities. Depending on the cruise line and itinerary, your fare may also include guided excursions, beverages, Wi-Fi, gratuities, airport transfers, or other special inclusions. Your USA River Cruises travel advisor can explain exactly what’s included with your selected voyage.
When is the best time to book a cruise?
The best time to book is as early as possible, especially for popular itineraries, holiday sailings, and peak travel seasons. Booking early often provides the best selection of staterooms, preferred sailing dates, and access to limited-time promotions or early booking discounts.
How do I choose the right stateroom?
The ideal stateroom depends on your budget, travel style, and personal preferences. Interior, oceanview, balcony, and suite accommodations each offer different amenities and views. If you’re unsure which option is best, our cruise specialists can help you compare accommodations and recommend the best fit for your vacation.
Are shore excursions included?
Many cruises include one or more guided shore excursions, while others offer optional experiences that can be added to your itinerary. Excursion availability varies by cruise line and destination, and many can be reserved before your departure.
Do I need travel insurance?
