Important Booking Information

F&Q Q. Can I livestream on social media? A. To avoid disturbing other guests and protect their privacy, we do not allow livestreaming by individual guests for monetization purposes. Q: Do the cruises operate in the rain? A: We base our operational decisions on wave height, wind speed, and visibility. If rain causes visibility to drop below our safety standards, the cruise will be canceled. In the event of a cancellation, a full refund will be issued online. Please note that using an umbrella while sailing is extremely dangerous, so we kindly ask that you prepare waterproof and warm clothing in advance. Q: Will we be able to see wildlife? A: Because these are wild animals, we cannot guarantee sightings during the cruise. However, if you are lucky, you might spot brown bears or dolphins, and on very rare occasions, even whales may appear. We highly recommend bringing a pair of binoculars to get the best possible view of the animals! Q: What should I wear on board? A: In Winter: The ship is air-conditioned, but it can be very cold outdoors, such as on the observation deck or side deck. Depending on the season and weather, temperatures range from -10 to 0°C, and it gets even colder out at sea.We recommend bringing not only thick outerwear, but also earmuffs, scarves, and other warm gear. Q: Is the vessel wheelchair accessible? A: On board Aurora, our staff are happy to assist you when boarding and disembarking. However, please note that movement inside the vessel requires using stairs, which significantly limits wheelchair access onboard.
