Sebastiaan
Asked on March 14th, 2025How early should I arrive at the hotel on the starting day?
- CosmosOperator•Written March 2025
It's recommended to arrive as early as possible on the starting day, especially before the start of any scheduled activities or tours.

Andy
Asked on January 21st, 2025I feel it is very unfair that I am willing to share a room, which I have done on all past trips, but it will now cost me $1300.00 more because of your decision to single-out participants that travel solo. I was excited to book this trip but now reconsidering because of the financial burden required. I am a returning participant and have two other trips planned with AA in 2025. These may be my last ones if it will be required to book with a partner to room with to receive the double occupancy price. It is not easy in my position/age to find people as active as myself and interested in such adventures.
- CosmosOperator•Written January 2025
We implemented this change when COVID-19 was at it's highest with the cases. Our Operations Department has decided to continue with that options.
