We value your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.

Our website uses Google Analytics and similar tools to understand visitor activity. These tools may use cookies or tracking technologies.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. All information regarding minors is provided to us by group leaders or parents/guardians as required for travel purposes.

7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill travel arrangements and maintain business records. At this time, we do not automatically delete customer data.
8. International Data Transfers
Rock the Boat is based in the United States. However, because our cruises may travel to international destinations (e.g., Mexico, Bahamas, and other ports of call), your information may be shared with and processed by international partners, such as cruise lines, port authorities, and customs officials. These parties may be subject to different privacy laws than those in the U.S.
By booking with Rock the Boat, you consent to the transfer of your information to these international partners as required for your travel experience.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
Request access to the personal information we hold about you
