Standard Cancellation Policy
1. Advance Payment
All tours require advance payment to secure the booking. Once confirmed, the date and services are reserved exclusively for the client.
2. Client-Initiated Cancellations
- More than 48 hours before the tour: Full refund.
- Less than 48 hours before the tour: No refund, as services, logistics, date blocking, planning, and third-party suppliers will already have been confirmed and paid.
- No-show: No refund.
3. Cruise Ship Delays, Itinerary Changes & Missed Ports
If a tour cannot be operated due to cruise ship delays, itinerary changes, missed ports, or operational incidents beyond the control of the tour operator:
- This is considered a force majeure event.
- Costs already incurred with third-party suppliers (such as transportation, drivers, permits, or reservations) are non-refundable.
- Any remaining balance, if applicable, will be refunded.
- Alternatively, a credit for a future tour may be offered, subject to availability.
4. Force Majeure
Force majeure includes, but is not limited to:
- Cruise ship incidents or mechanical issues
- Port authority decisions
- Natural disasters
- Strikes, road closures, or government restrictions
In such cases:
- The tour operator is not liable for the inability to deliver the service; in this case, you might need to contact your travel insurance.
- Refunds, if any, will exclude non-recoverable costs already paid.
5. Operator-Initiated Cancellation
If the tour operator cancels the tour for reasons within their control, the client will receive a full refund.
6. Acceptance of Terms
By confirming a booking and making payment, the client acknowledges and accepts these cancellation and force majeure terms.
