Additional travel conditions for the bike and boat tour:
We reserve the right to adjust the prices that were published and confirmed with the booking in the event of an increase in transportation costs or fees for specific services, such as port and docking fees, or a change in the exchange rates applicable to the trip as follows:
• If transportation costs increase after the conclusion of the travel contract, particularly fuel costs, we may raise the travel price according to the following calculation: a. In the case of an increase related to the cabin price, we may charge the traveler the additional amount. b. In other cases, the additional transportation costs required by the carrier per transport vehicle will be divided by the number of cabin spaces of the agreed transportation vehicle. The resulting additional amount for the cabin space can be charged to the traveler.
• If the fees at the time of the travel contract, such as port and docking fees, are increased, we may raise the travel price by the corresponding proportional amount.
• If exchange rates change after the conclusion of the travel contract, the travel price can be increased to the extent that the trip has become more expensive due to this change.
A price increase is only permissible if more than 4 months lie between the contract conclusion and the agreed travel date, and the circumstances leading to the increase were unforeseeable before the conclusion of the contract. If the travel price is adjusted, we will inform you immediately. Price increases within 20 days before the start of the trip are invalid. If the price increases by more than 5%, you are entitled to cancel the contract without any fees or request participation in a trip of at least equal value, provided we can offer such a trip from our travel offer without any additional cost to you. Please assert the aforementioned rights promptly after we inform you of the price increase.

In the event of extreme high or low water levels, the shipping company reserves the right to replace certain sections with bus transport or to cancel the trip at short notice, without this leading to any legal claims (water levels are considered force majeure). The same applies in the case of unannounced lock and/or bridge repairs ordered by authorities, or in the case of unintentional engine or propulsion failure of the ship.
