At KTCCruises, we believe in clear and transparent pricing. Below is important information regarding taxes, port charges, and other fees that may apply to your cruise booking. Please review these details before confirming your reservation.
Unless otherwise specified, your cruise fare includes your cabin accommodation, most meals onboard, entertainment, and access to standard cruise facilities. Additional services may be available for an extra charge.
Port taxes and government fees are generally included in your cruise fare. These fees are charged by port authorities and governments for each port of call. The amount varies by destination and itinerary, and they are subject to change by the respective authorities.
Most cruise lines apply a daily service charge or gratuity per person, which covers housekeeping, dining staff, and other onboard services. This fee may be prepaid at the time of booking or automatically added to your onboard account during the cruise. The amount varies depending on the cruise line.
Onboard purchases such as beverages, specialty dining, spa services, gift shop items, and shore excursions may be subject to additional taxes or service fees, depending on the location of the ship at the time of the purchase.
Occasionally, cruise lines may impose fuel surcharges due to changes in global fuel prices. If a fuel surcharge is applied to your booking, KTCCruises will inform you in advance before your booking is finalized.
If you are using an international credit card, your bank may charge a foreign transaction or currency conversion fee. These fees are beyond our control, and KTCCruises is not responsible for any such charges.
Certain governments may impose taxes such as VAT (Value Added Tax), sales tax, or tourism tax depending on your cruise departure port or destinations visited. These charges will be clearly disclosed during the booking process if applicable.
Any modifications or cancellations to your booking are subject to fees as outlined in our Cancellation Policy. These fees are separate from taxes and are non-refundable.
If you choose to book additional services through third-party providers (such as shore excursions, hotels, transfers, or flights), be aware that these may have their own taxes and service fees, which will be determined by the provider's policies.
Taxes, port charges, and service fees are determined by various governing authorities and cruise line policies, and may be subject to change without prior notice. The total applicable taxes and fees will be displayed during your booking checkout before final payment is processed.
If you have any questions or need clarification regarding taxes, port fees, or additional charges related to your cruise booking, please don’t hesitate to contact KTCCruises customer service. We are here to ensure full transparency and assist you with any queries.
