Before Monday, September 14

  1. Review the full itinerary:

  2. Review the cruise vessel, pricing, and amenities guide:

    View the AmaKristina vessel guide and pricing
  3. Resolve any remaining questions:

    Cruise FAQ or submit a question at leftcoastrevivals.com.
  4. Decide which cabin category you'd like to reserve — and pick a backup category or two in case your first choice sells out before you can book.
  5. Coordinate booking timing with any roommates. Cabin types are limited and may sell out quickly.
About the Lyon & Paris extension

Nothing to decide right now. The optional self-guided Lyon & Paris flea market extension, April 20–24, 2028, will be offered to cruise participants at a later date — it isn't part of this checkout.

When booking opens

Booking opens

Monday, September 14, 2026 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time

  1. Be on leftcoastrevivals.com before 3:00 PM Pacific Time.
  2. When the countdown reaches zero, click the Book Now button. This takes you to our trip page on Best in Travel's website.
  3. On that page, click the pink Book Now button to begin the checkout process.
  4. Follow the prompts to complete your reservation.
  5. During booking, you will be asked whether you would like to pay in full or place a deposit and continue with monthly installments through December 2027.
Don't wait on the email

We'll send an email to the cruise list at 3:00 PM Pacific, but please treat it as a courtesy reminder rather than your starting gun.

We can't control how quickly email servers deliver, whether a message lands in your inbox or your spam folder, or whether it gets filtered somewhere else entirely. Be on the website and ready at 3:00 PM Pacific and you won't lose any time.

Limited cabin availability

We've chartered the AmaKristina in full — all 146 berths — but each cabin category has a limited number of cabins within it. If you're hoping for a specific cabin type, plan ahead and be ready when booking opens.

If you're booking with a roommate

When two people book separately, coordinate so you're both booking as close to 3:00 PM Pacific as possible. That way one of you isn't left behind if the preferred cabin category sells out.

Better still: designate one person to complete the booking for both travellers at the same time. It's the surest way to end up in the same cabin category.

Have a backup category in mind

Some categories have very few cabins in them, and the popular ones can go quickly. Before you sit down to book, decide on a second and third choice you'd be happy with so you're not making that decision under pressure if your first choice is already gone.

Good to know

You'll need everything in the Have ready list for every participant in your booking, not just yourself.

Passport numbers are not needed at checkout — only the country your passport was issued in.

Anything that isn't required can be updated later, after your booking is complete.

Travelling solo? Leave the roommate field blank and we'll match you with a roommate closer to the trip.

Booking 2 berths to have a cabin to yourself? Checkout will ask for 2 participant entries, so enter your own information twice.

Cabin availability is limited. Booking early gives you the best chance at the cabin you want.
