*Itineraries can be changed at the discretion of the Vessel's Captain and Port Authorities, particularly in case of adverse weather conditions. In many cases the journeys between ports are reasonably short so the ship will be in harbour or at a mooring for part or much of the night, though there will be some sailing at night. Wine visits are subject to confirmation and subject to change in the event of regulations changing, or in the event of weather conditions disrupting the cruise itinerary. Details such as swim stops, will be entirely at the captain’s discretion.
