About Cruise Forge

We carefully curate and present information about cruise destinations, cruise lines, ships, cabins, excursions and the wider cruise experience.

Cruise Forge is not a cruise line, travel agent, tour operator or booking provider. We do not operate cruises, control cruise services or make travel arrangements on behalf of visitors unless this is expressly stated.

Cruise Forge is not affiliated with, endorsed by or officially connected to any cruise line, port, tourism authority, hotel, excursion provider or other travel company mentioned on the website.

References to third-party companies, ships, destinations and services are included for identification and editorial purposes only.

Information, Not Personal Travel Advice

The content published on Cruise Forge is provided for general information and inspiration.

It should not be treated as personal travel, legal, medical, financial, immigration, insurance or safety advice.

Medical circumstances

Accessibility requirements
Local laws and regulations

You are responsible for checking that a cruise, destination, cabin, excursion or travel arrangement is suitable for your own circumstances.

Where necessary, seek advice from the cruise line, travel provider, insurer, relevant authority or a suitably qualified professional.

Accuracy of Information

We take reasonable care when researching and publishing information.

However, cruise information can change without notice. Cruise lines may alter prices, ships, facilities, entertainment, dining arrangements, dress codes, policies, itineraries, ports, excursions and entry requirements.

We cannot guarantee that every page will always be complete, current or free from error.

Before booking or travelling, confirm important information directly with the relevant cruise line, travel provider or official authority.

This includes:

Prices and availability
Sailing dates
Ship facilities
Cabin details
Included services
Drinks and dining packages
Gratuities

You should not rely solely on Cruise Forge when making a booking or other significant travel decision.

Cruise Itineraries and Port Changes

Cruise itineraries may be changed, delayed or cancelled for operational, safety, weather, political, public-health or other reasons.

Cruise Forge does not control cruise itineraries and is not responsible for changes made by cruise lines, ports, authorities or travel providers.

The inclusion of a destination on Cruise Forge does not guarantee that it will be included in any particular sailing.

Prices and Offers

Any prices, offers or examples mentioned on Cruise Forge are provided for general information and may have changed since publication.

Prices may vary according to:

Departure date
Cabin type
Occupancy
Availability
Booking location
Currency
Taxes and fees
Gratuities
Promotional conditions
Optional extras

Always check the complete price and booking conditions with the company providing the cruise or service.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Cruise Forge does not set prices, control availability or guarantee offers.

Bookings and Contracts

Cruise Forge does not normally take cruise bookings or enter into travel contracts with website visitors.

Where the website links to a cruise line, travel provider or other third party, any booking is made directly with that third party.

Your contract will be with the company supplying the cruise, accommodation, excursion, transport or other service.

Its own terms, payment rules, cancellation policy and privacy policy will apply.

Cruise Forge is not responsible for:

Accepting or declining a booking
Processing payments
Changes to reservations
Cancellations
Refunds
Travel disruption
Customer service provided by another company
The performance of a cruise or travel service

Contact the relevant provider directly regarding any booking issue.

Independent Editorial Approach

Cruise Forge is independent and aims to present cruise information fairly.

The inclusion of a cruise line, ship, destination or provider does not necessarily represent a recommendation or endorsement.

Likewise, the absence of a company or service does not imply criticism.

Articles may contain editorial opinions, comparisons or observations. These represent the assessment made at the time of writing and may not reflect every traveller’s experience.

Individual experiences can vary according to the ship, sailing, crew, season, itinerary and personal expectations.

Affiliate Links

Some website links may be affiliate links.

This means Cruise Forge may receive a commission if a visitor follows a link and makes a qualifying purchase or booking. This should not normally increase the price paid by the visitor.

Affiliate relationships do not guarantee that a product, cruise or service will be suitable for you.

You remain responsible for reviewing the provider’s information and booking conditions.

External Links

Cruise Forge may include links to third-party websites for convenience or further information.

We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their:

Content
Accuracy
Availability
Security
Pricing
Privacy practices
Products or services

A link does not necessarily mean that Cruise Forge endorses the third party.

You use external websites at your own discretion and should read their terms and privacy policies.

Passport, Visa and Entry Requirements

It is your responsibility to hold the correct passport, visa, travel authorisation and other documentation required for your journey.

Requirements can vary according to nationality, residency, destination and itinerary.

Cruise Forge cannot confirm whether a particular traveller will be permitted to enter a country or board a ship.

Check official government guidance and confirm requirements with the cruise line or travel provider before travelling.

Health and Medical Information

Cruise Forge may publish general information concerning seasickness, accessibility, onboard medical facilities or travelling with health needs.

This information is not medical advice.

Consult an appropriate healthcare professional regarding medication, vaccinations, fitness to travel or medical conditions.

You are responsible for informing the cruise line and insurer of relevant medical or accessibility needs where required.

Travel Insurance

Cruise Forge strongly encourages travellers to obtain suitable travel insurance.

We do not provide insurance advice and cannot confirm that a particular policy is suitable.

Check the policy wording carefully, including cruise cover, cancellation, medical treatment, repatriation, missed departure, itinerary changes and declared medical conditions.

Your insurance contract is with the insurer or intermediary providing the policy.

Safety and Shore Excursions

Travel and shore activities involve risks.

You are responsible for assessing whether an excursion or activity is appropriate for your health, mobility, experience and circumstances.

Follow the instructions of cruise lines, port authorities, excursion providers and local officials.

Cruise Forge does not operate third-party excursions and is not responsible for their availability, safety or performance.
