Answers

1. What is the average age of people who sail on the voyage?
   The average age of our participants is different on every voyage but usually ranges from 50 to 55. Travelers on Enrichment Voyages might be retired adults, college students, young families, children, high schoolers, or young professionals. The community built onboard every Enrichment Voyage is why 30% of alumni return to the MV Explorer again and again.
2. Will you help me book flights?
   Unfortunately, we do not make any airline reservations. However, our partner STA Travel helps participants to arrange flights that coincide with our arrival and departure times. Learn more about STA Travel>> 
3. I’m a single traveler and don’t want to pay the single supplement. What are my options?
   Enrichment Voyages fares are based on double occupancy. Single travelers are welcome aboard the MV Explorer and frequently opt to reserve a cabin for themselves by paying a single supplement. We also offer a roommate share option for single travelers who wish to sail on our voyages and pay the double occupancy rate. At the time of booking, these individuals may elect to have their contact information added to a list that we share with other booked participants looking for a roommate. Upon contacting each other and mutually deciding to room together, we will put you in the same cabin and adjust your fare to the double rate. To be added to the roommate share list, or to make your reservation, contact us>> 
4. I’m vegetarian/vegan. Can I eat the food on the ship?
   The ship makes every effort to accommodate those with dietary restrictions. There are vegetarian and vegan options available onboard for individuals who make their requests known. Please be sure to let us know ahead of time if you do have special food needs to be sure we can accommodate your requests. Contact Us>>
5. Are field trips included?
   Our Field Programs are part of Enrichment Voyages Signature Programs. Field trips are an extra expense and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Day trips might range in price from $60 to $120. 
6. Are there bathrooms and showers in every cabin? Refrigerators?
   Private bathrooms and showers are a part of each cabin, as are small refrigerators.
7. How do I do laundry on the ship?
   Laundry service is available for a small fee of $6 per bag. Wash and press services are available for $9 a bag. There are no self-service laundry facilities onboard. The ship cannot handle requests for dry-cleaning.
8. What if I want to have three people in a cabin?
   A limited number of triple cabins are available for guests who wish to travel with three occupants. The third person in cabin rate is $795 with the addition of $280 in port fees. Children under 17 in a cabin with two full-fare paying adults may sail for $395 plus $280 port fees. If you have more questions about 3 or 4 person cabins, Please contact us>>
