Travel Documents: Thoroughly review the itinerary and tickets in their entirety. Verify all passenger accommodations, ascertain that all names are correct, and match the documentation that you will be using for identification. Many travel suppliers require pre-registration forms completed online or via fax. These forms must be completed prior to the trip; it is your responsibility to make certain this has been done prior to your vacation. Suppliers may charge a substantial fee plus applicable fare increases for changes made after the tickets or documents are issued.

Cancellation by Us: We may cancel any tour at any time before departure for any reason without limitation. We may cancel if we deem the number of passengers signed up for a given tour to be insufficient to operate the tour. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to keep the itinerary as it has been published; however, the final itinerary may vary due to third parties’ schedules, availability, and other factors beyond our control. We may in our sole discretion substitute services or goods of similar quality for any service or good stated in the itinerary. If a tour is cancelled, we will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain refunds from the suppliers. Our liability is limited to any refunds so obtained, and we will not be liable for any other costs, damages, or refunds of any kind for any loss, delay, inconvenience, disappointment, or expense whatsoever in such circumstances. Failure to provide final payment will result in cancellation of your reservation, forfeiting any payments as per cancellation policy above.
