Your Agreement with Amazing Journeys, LLC

YOUR AGREEMENT WITH AMAZING JOURNEYS, LLC 

By signing our reservation form or clicking the “I Agree” button on our website”, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Payments: We cannot be responsible for cancelled reservations due to declined credit or debit cards. We accept all major credit cards, personal checks 15 days or more prior to the travel date, cashier’s checks, and money orders (checks, cashier’s checks and money orders payable in US Dollars).

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.

Responsibility: Amazing Journeys and any sponsoring organization act only in the capacity of agents for the suppliers of the travel services named in your itinerary or otherwise providing service in connection with this trip (“the Suppliers”), including cruise lines, airlines, hotels, sightseeing tour operators, bus lines, shore excursion companies, and providers of entertainment.

We assume no responsibility for any personal injury, illness, death, property damage, or other loss, accident, delay, inconvenience, or irregularity which may be occasioned either by reason (1) any act or omission of any of the Suppliers (2) any matter beyond our exclusive control including but not limited to a delay or cancellation of a flight that causes the participant to miss any portion of the trip. We do not guarantee any prices or the quality of any services. We have no special knowledge regarding the financial condition of the Suppliers, unsafe conditions, health hazards such as diseases, epidemics or pandemics, weather hazards, or climate extremes at locations to which you may travel. For information concerning possible dangers at destinations, we recommend contacting the Travel Warnings Section of the U.S. State Department at (202) 647-5225 or www.travel.state.gov and click on “Travel Warnings.” For medical information, we recommend contacting the Centers for Disease Control at (877) FYI-TRIP or www.cdc.gov/travel.  You assume full and complete responsibility for checking and verifying all passport and visa requirements of the destinations, as well as the conditions regarding health, safety, security, political stability, and labor or civil unrest at such destinations.

COVID-19: For all travel within 2023, we require you to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 at least two weeks before departure. As destination requirements and/or the definition of “fully vaccinated” may change between now and the departure date of your tour with little advanced notice, Amazing Journeys recommends that guests plan to receive a booster dose prior to travel. For all 2023 trips, you must send us a copy of your COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card with the CDC logo by email to or fax to Amazing Journeys. We do not test for COVID-19 or any other diseases.
