Cruise West Stowaway Program If your travel dates are flexible we invite you to sign up for our Stowaway Program and save 25% on your cruise fare. Simply make a deposit for the cabin category and cruise itinerary of your choice that departs within a particular 30-day window and we’ll inform you of a specific Stowaway travel date at least 30 days prior to departure. If you accept the date offered, payment must be made in full by credit card within 24 hours. Once full payment is made, the standard Cruise West cancellation policies apply. If you decline the date offered, your deposit is not refundable but can be applied to a future cruise. Stowaway availability is limited and your choice of departure date and cabin category are not guaranteed. If we are not able to offer you a sailing date and cabin category within your desired 30-day window, we will refund your deposit in full. Cruise West past guests, Quyana Club members, may apply an additional 5% savings. The Stowaway Program may not be combined with group savings or other offers. Stowaway savings apply to the cruise-only fare. Other restrictions may apply. See www.cruisewest.com/stowaway for more details.
