Covid-19 Travel Ban – Cancellation Policy
In the event you or one of your party believes they cannot travel, we are happy to provide a non-refundable travel credit, in line with our Covid-19 travel ban – cancellation policy, however, you must notify us at least 8 weeks prior to your booked departure. Should you not notify us by this time, our normal cancellation policy will apply.

When you are seeking a travel credit under the Covid-19 policy, we will be seeking proof of residential address to determine eligibility.

In the event of the government enforcing lockdown and travel bans in place after you have booked, we would like to offer you a travel credit to use at your convenience and hold the same price for re-booking at a future date once the travel bans have been lifted.

The travel credit can be upgraded for a longer hire period or different houseboat at an additional cost and rebooking using the travel credit is always subject to availability.

The credit is not to be redeemed in the December-January school holidays unless the original booking was within this period.

The travel credit is valid 18 months from month of travel restrictions lifted.

This is an offer made in good faith and is offered entirely at our discretion.
For non-Covid related cancellations, please refer to our normal cancellation policy.
