Cancellation policy

you must immediately advise us in WRITING (or must ensure that your travel agent does so on your behalf). You will then receive a notice of cancellation, detailing any charges due. No booking is cancelled until such a cancellation invoice is issued by us, so you (or your travel agent) should ensure you receive one in order to avoid incurring extra costs. Except where a ‘money back guarantee’ applies, if you cancel before the balance is due, only your deposits are forfeited. If you cancel within the following days of departure, your full holiday costs are due less the following refunds (or the deposit amount, if greater): 36-55 days – 25% refund; 14-35 days – 15% refund; 3-13 days – 10% refund; less than three days or after departure – no refund. The Refunds above apply to total holiday price excluding any insurance premiums, amendment charges or charges for goods sold and despatched. *The conditions of your travel insurance policy may allow a refund claim.

Travel Insurance
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance alongside your travel package to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as medical expenses, trip cancellations, and other contingencies. It offers you peace of mind and ensures you are prepared for unexpected events that may occur before or during your journey
Visa requirements
Visa requirements vary depending on your country of origin and your country of destination. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the relevant requirements. For a handy tool that can help you quickly find the requirements, please visit this link .
