elements that contribute to the unique character of the activity can be causes of loss or damage to your equipment, or
accidental injury, illness, or in extreme cases, permanent trauma or death. We do not want to frighten you or reduce
your enthusiasm for this activity, but we do think it is important for you to know in advance what to expect and to be
informed of the inherent risks.

Cancellation Policy:

The cancellation policy for this trip is separate from the regular LIGHT Photographic Workshops Policies.

Should you need to cancel:

Your payment will be refunded less a 25% cancellation fee if cancelled 150 or more days prior to departure. Cancellations 90 to 150 days prior to departure will receive the same refund only if your space is filled. Deposits for cancellation 90 days or less will not be refunded. We strongly recommend trip insurance. A deposit reserves your space. Full payment confirmation protects your fare from any subsequent changes.
In the unlikely event we cancel your cruise we will refund 100%
