CLINTON FRIENDSHIP
GROUP AND CHARTER POLICIES

GENERAL INFORMATION

A group is 20 people or more.       A 20 passenger minimum is required for the Clinton Friendship to cruise.

A confirmed head count of guests is due 48 hours (2 days) before the date of your cruise.  Full payment of your
cruise and confirmed head count is due at that time.  You will be charged for the number of guests that you
guarantee.  Should you have additional guests over the guarantee number, you will be charged accordingly.
Should you have fewer guests than the guaranteed number, you will not receive any future credit for the
passengers less than you guarantee.

Please contact our office before increasing the number of people in your party.  We will give your group priority
consideration on a space available basis.

Unless the vessel is fully chartered, there is no exclusive use of the vessel by any passenger on-board.  All areas
and decks are considered common to all passengers.

Special seating may be requested but not guaranteed.  All requests will be honored based on each party size and
the entire number of passengers booked for the cruise.

Passengers may board thirty (30) minutes prior to the scheduled departure time.  Disembarking will be no later than
the time stated on the contract.

The Clinton Friendship can be fully chartered for exclusive use.  Lunch and Dinner Cruises require a guarantee
payment of 80 passengers. Entertainment is included in dinner cruise packages only.  Hourly charter of the vessel
for exclusive use does not include food or entertainment.  If you wish to make arrangements for a chartered cruise,
please contact the office.  
The maximum number of musicians allowed on the vessel is three (3) due to space availability for musicians'
equipment.

All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  
\Special pricing is available for children under the age of 12.  Children are free up to the age of 5.

DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS
Clinton River Cruises cannot accept any group reservation without a deposit and signed contract.

Payment of the balance of the total cruise, based on guaranteed number of guests, is required prior to the cruise.

All deposits and payments for cruise reservations are non-refundable; however, every effort will be made to
reschedule your cruise.
