Frequently Asked Questions

To help you decide, we've compiled answers to common questions about our Golf Cruises. Curious about itineraries, accommodations, or logistics? Our FAQs cover it all. For personalized advice, our Golf Travel Experts are ready to assist.

• Do you have any booking tips?

  Simply we encourage guests to book as far in advance as possible as soon as a cruise or program launches …. doing so ensures guests can access the best selection of staterooms and suites (particularly suites with their limited availability on Azamara) and the very best prices …cancellation penalties for cruise and golf package are extremely low.

  We hope these questions and answers assist you.

  Should you have any additional questions please feel free to ask your PerryGolf Travel Expert at Expert@PerryGolf.com or 800.344.5257.

• What is included in the price of the Golf Cruise?

  Our golf cruises are as all-inclusive as it is possible to be. Onboard, all accommodations, meals, entertainment, open bar (selected beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks) and gratuities are included. Off the ship, all greens fees, cart fees (or caddies at certain venues – excludes caddie gratuity), ground transportation, range balls, box lunch, open bar at respective clubhouses and gratuities are included.

• What is a typical golf day?

  We manage each guest’s golf equipment from start to finish. The equipment will be taken to the course in advance, loaded onto a golf cart (or be waiting with a caddie at certain venues) and be ready for each guest’s arrival.

  Transfers from the ship are coordinated to ensure that each guest arrives at the golf course with ample time to warm up before play. A sandwich lunch is provided on the golf course, sometimes as a box lunch from the ship, or alternatively provided by the club. An open bar with snacks, soft drinks, beer or wine is always available during play, and the clubhouse bar operates similarly following play.

  Following golf, guests are free to relax in the clubhouse to chat about their round and to experience the particular ambience before transferring back to the ship.

  On one golf day during each cruise an informal competition will be held with prizes to be awarded in a ceremony taking place later onboard the ship.

• What is a typical Golf Cruise group size?

  The typical group size is approximately 40 golfers, with on average a further 10 non-golfing spouses.

  Our cruises that include attendance to The Open are larger with approximately 150 golfers and a further 50 non-golfing spouses.

  Some guests join our cruises as relatively self contained groups, eg 2 or 4 couples who know each other, and they will have their own golfing partners already arranged. Other guests travel as individual couples or single travelers and are seeking to meet and play golf with other guests. We will arrange golf pairings for these guests and through this a great many friendships are born. Non-golfing spouses are also perfectly catered for with a range of shore excursions available.

• Should I take out travel insurance?

  PerryGolf strongly recommends that you have luggage, accident and trip cancellation insurance. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate coverage.

• Can I ship my golf clubs ahead of me to my destination?

  Yes you can send your golf clubs, and indeed any luggage in advance to your destination to avoid checked baggage hassles. For more information click here.
