Frequently asked questions

For peak summer months (June–August), book at least 2–3 weeks ahead, especially for popular cruises and cooking classes that often sell out. Spring and early autumn are less crowded, but still book a few days in advance for premium experiences. Many activities offer free cancellation, so you can reserve early and stay flexible.
