Rates for Alaska in 2008 are noted above.  Reservations made prior to Sept 1, 2008 for 2009 will be at 2008 rates which are approximately $500 per person lower than anticipated for 2009 due to fuel and other increases.     

PER CABIN WEEKLY* RATES  

We will also  book the boat on a per cabin (double occupancy) basis. Call to find out available dates and rates for these cruises as they vary with the week.   Check out schedule page for dates (look for light blue weeks to see established per cabin charters currently booking and look for red text to see what is open!)

RESERVATIONS, DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

To confirm your charter and reserve your dates a deposit of 50% must be received within 14 days of your reservation.  The balance of the charter fee is due 60 days prior to your charter.  

Payments can be made with personal check, wire transfer or money order.

CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS

If a charterer cancels, deposits and final payments are fully refundable only if the dates you have reserved are rebooked with another charter. Partial booking of those dates will result in a prorated refund. If not refunded, you may travel with us the same season on a cruise of similar value or length subject to space and operations. In the unlikely event that we cancel a cruise due to a mechanical breakdown, you will receive a full refund of all monies paid directly to us.  

TRIP INSURANCE

Many travel advisors recommend trip insurance.  Good trip insurance will cover cancellation due to your illness or that of a family member as well as cancellation due to inclement weather.  It will even cover pre-existing medical conditions if purchased at the time you book your trip and you are capable of traveling at that time.  

CHANGES OF SCHEDULE AND CREW

If the charterer needs to change a scheduled trip, we will make every effort to accommodate that change, subject to the limitation of other scheduled trips. 

Ursa Major Yacht Charters reserves the right to make changes in our schedules for any reason up to 6 months before the charter; or at any time when necessary for the safety of the guests.

In the event of mechanical breakdown, Ursa Major Yacht Charters reserves the right to make a timely substitute to another boat of comparable or superior size and quality.  We also reserve the right to change or substitute crew members.

GETTING TO ALASKA

Please note that our trips do not include airfare to and from Alaska or Mexico.  Wherever you are coming from you will need to arrive in Seattle and then take a flight on Alaska Airlines to Juneau, Petersburg or Sitka for Alaska or from Los Angeles to  La Paz, Cabo San Lucas or Loreto in Mexico.  Ground transport from Los Cabo is a 3-5 hour bus ride to La Paz or Loreto.    We recommend you fly into Loreto or La Paz directly.   To help you make your flight arrangements you can visit the Alaska Airlines web site by clicking HERE.   Delta  and Aero Mexico also fly to La Paz and Loreto with Continental is scheduled to begin.
