Cancellation, amendment and name-change terms belong to the cruise house and fare family. ORBIT states them only after a written proposal. This page is not a ticket.
Accessibility
- Accessible cabins, lifts and embarkation assistance are requested from the cruise house — never assumed.
- Port tendering, cobbled towns and gangway gradients vary. We verify them before recommending a sailing.
- Medical equipment, dialysis schedules and service animals require advance notice and line approval.
When a cruise supplier is contracted, this desk will search live availability, reprice, read cabins and fare families, deck plans, taxes, currencies, hold a cabin, confirm, amend, cancel, store supplier references, issue vouchers, receive webhooks and keep an audit log — always with your approval. Until then, every sailing is a request.
ORBIT AI may compare example voyages and cabins, explain routes and help with transfers. It will not invent prices, availability, visa rulings or supplier facts.
