How a cruise booking works with Touriyo

1. Call, or send us a WhatsApp message, with the month, the region or the cruise line, how many people and the cabin you want.
2. The agent looks for sailings that match and quotes one total, with taxes and port fees.
3. Nothing is charged until you say yes to that total.
4. Once you say yes, the agent books the sailing and sends you the confirmation by email.
