- mechanical breakdown;
- riots;
- strikes;
- civil commotion;
- river or canal lock damage or closure;
- adverse weather conditions; or
- natural disasters.
If Your Scenic Journey is delayed or cancelled after you have commenced and is deemed to be claimable event by Us as per the above definitions, We will pay You up to $750 for each full 24 hour period from the start of the delay or cancellation up to a maximum of $5,250 (or seven (7) consecutive 24 hour periods) or the originally scheduled end date of Your Scenic Tour, whichever is the lesser.

Some delays can be resolved in a matter of hours, and these situations will not be covered under the river cruise guarantee:
- High water levels that prohibit the sailing of the ship in the afternoon, but subside to allow us to make it under the bridge in the evening and deliver the ship to the scheduled disembarkation location the next day.
- If we need to swap ships due to high/low water levels, and we this takes less than 6 hours to complete.
- If we embark/disembark the ship at a location that is less than 50 miles from the scheduled point.
