This clause will survive termination of these Terms.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
You understand that, as part of Booking any Travel Services, your personal information may be conveyed to Agency and third-party providers to accommodate your travel, and you consent to the use of your personal information by these parties. Such personal information may include birth dates, passport numbers, travel dates, occupation, frequent flyer information, bank accounts, credit cards, and other information needed to secure travel arrangements.
Agency has no liability regarding: (1) the distribution of your information to any third party, including any CRM or other technology platform outside our control; or (2) any third party’s failure to protect your personal information. You authorize Agency to keep your personal information for as long as needed to provide Bookings and for a reasonable period thereafter for Agency’s legal or business purposes.
PRICING & INCLUSIONS
Quoted prices are based on the precise inclusions we provide to you in the Trip Plan.
Unless specifically itemized on the Trip Plan, prices do not include other travel costs, fees, or taxes, including: (1) airports, ports, stations, security, agriculture, customs, immigration, visas, passports, or any other government-imposed fees or taxes; or (2) meals, beverages, alcohol, minibars, entertainment, seat assignments, upgrades, excursions, hospitality, gratuities, copies, telecommunications, energy, laundry, cleaning, bedding, parking, valet, insurance, taxis, transfers, porterage, departures, travel segments, health, medical treatment or tests, vaccinations, pharmaceuticals, or any other personal charges.
All prices and availability are subject to change without prior notice until you make full payment of deposits and other amounts due, as agreed in your Trip Plan. However, even following your full payment, you agree to pay additional fees that may arise for variable matters beyond our control, including fuel and other surcharges.
Agency has no responsibility for: (1) price changes or variable fees; (2) currency exchange fluctuations; or (3) fees or surcharges relating to foreign-currency transactions.

If you do not make full payment of any deposit or other amount by its due date: (1) price increases, fees, or penalties may be imposed; (2) your Bookings may be cancelled in whole or part; and (3) your previous deposits and other amounts paid may be NON-REFUNDABLE. You are solely responsible, and Agency has no responsibility or liability, for consequences relating to your late or non-payment.
If you request re-Booking, Agency will assist you with obtaining any refunds due to re-Booking Trips (e.g., using future cruise credits). However, Agency may, in its discretion, charge a NON-REFUNDABLE fee for re-Bookings.
Your payments in currency other than U.S. Dollars will be converted at then-current exchange rates. Agency payments to third-party providers will be converted at then-current exchange rates between U.S. Dollars and the currency of the country in which services are delivered.
CREDIT & DEBIT CARDS
By submitting your credit or debit card (“Card”) to us, you confirm that: (1) you are an authorized user of that Card; (2) you authorize us, or our agents, to charge your Card for payments on due dates agreed in your Trip Plan; and (3) you authorize us, or our agents, to credit to your Card any amounts charged in error.
You are responsible for all costs, including costs of recovery, relating to the following: (1) if you provide to us an incorrect Card number; (2) if our valid charges to your Card are declined; (3) if your Card has insufficient funds on payment dates agreed in your Trip Plan; and (4) if your Card account is closed or expires before you pay all amounts agreed in your Trip Plan.
In any such event, you agree we have a right to suspend or cancel any Booking, and we have no obligation to refund amounts paid by you if we suspend or cancel any Booking.
CHARGEBACKS
You agree not to initiate, and you waive any right to pursue, any credit- or debit-card chargeback, reverse-charge, refund, or recollection (collectively, “Chargeback”) for any reason, including delay, cancellation, refusal of entry, exit, or transit, force majeure event, Food Allergies, provision or non-provision of Travel Services, price changes, fees, or penalties, or any other matter relating to your Trip, except in the case of fraud. Even in the case of fraud, before initiating any Chargeback, you agree to first address the matter directly with us in writing to give us a reasonable time to investigate the matter and respond to you.
If you initiate a Chargeback relating to any amount we validly charge to your Card without our prior written authorization, you agree to pay us for all fees and costs, including attorney’s fees and legal expenses, we incur to dispute and respond to that Chargeback.
This clause will survive termination of these Terms.
CHANGES, CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS
You agree to comply with all terms relating to any change or cancellation of Bookings, which may not allow refunds if you change, cancel, partially use, or do not use Travel Services for any reason, including actual, threatened, or fear of potential health matters, pandemics, epidemics, weather conditions, terrorism, political unrest, or similar circumstances.
If you change or cancel a Booking, you may be subject to: (1) Agency fees of USD $1,000; and (2) additional fees, charges, or penalties.
Further, you agree to all other change and cancellation policies of Agency: (1) If you cancel a booking within 90 days prior to the trip’s start date, you will forfeit all payments made to the Agency.
We reserve the right to modify or cancel any Booking or Trip at any time if minimum occupancy requirements are not met. If we modify or cancel any Booking or Trip per the above: (1) we will provide you reasonable notice and the reasons for such change; and (2) you understand that independent bookings made outside of these Terms, including airline, rail, and other travel services, may be NON-REFUNDABLE and that Agency has no responsibility for such bookings.
If you have any claim for refund or adjustment regarding your travel, you will deliver it to Agency in writing, including full details and documentation regarding the background, rationale, and proof of payment.
This clause will survive termination of these Terms.
NO SHOWS
Failure to travel or show up for any Booking is considered a “no show.” No show penalties will equal amounts up to the entire cost of travel.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Hotel accommodation is subject to availability at the time of reservation. Amenities including air conditioning, elevators, bed size, connecting or adjacent rooms, handicap accessibility, restaurants, bars, fitness facilities, pools, and spas are not guaranteed at all properties and are not guaranteed to be operational or available during your stay. Refunds regarding amenities are the responsibility of the hotel.
AIR TRAVEL
Airlines may require tickets to be paid in full at the time of Booking. Airline tickets, once purchased, may be NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE, subject to each airline’s terms and conditions. Most airlines consider a name-change to be a cancellation. Domestic flight requirements may differ from international flight requirements.
Seat assignments are based on availability at the time of selection and payment. Airlines may change seat assignments and aircraft or address other operational matters at any time. Agency cannot guarantee seats in specific locations or next to each other. Airline seat assignments, baggage, carry-ons, meals, drinks, and other services may be subject to additional fees. You are responsible for: (1) confirming in advance airline rules and availability of such services and baggage allowances; and (2) paying all related fees.
Agency is not responsible for any: (1) fees imposed by airlines for services; (2) changes to seat assignments after selection and payment; (3) loss, injury, accident, error, or omission that may occur, including schedule changes, delays, cancellations, and expenses due to weather conditions, airline operations, or equipment repair or failure; or (4) other matters beyond Agency’s control. You agree to comply with safety guidelines of all airlines and hold Agency harmless from any liability due to airline rules and operations.
TRAVELER CONDUCT
You are responsible for: (1) any damage or loss caused by your acts, errors, or omissions; and (2) full payment for any such damage or loss directly to any third party.
Agency is not responsible for any costs relating to: (1) Traveler conduct; or (2) Traveler removal from any Travel Services, in whole or part, whether based on Traveler negligence, willful misconduct, or otherwise. You agree not to hold Agency, its owners, directors, employees, agents, or representatives accountable for any claims arising from Traveler acts, errors, or omissions.
Any Authorized Party may, in its discretion, refuse you any Travel Service, require you to leave any Travel Service, or require you to disembark any mode of transportation if the Authorized Party reasonably believes: (1) you are a danger to yourself or any other participant; (2) you have engaged in, are engaged in, or are threatening to engage in behavior that is socially disruptive, verbally abusive, physically abusive, obnoxious, harassing, discriminatory, obscene, or any other behavior that may adversely affect the safety, security, comfort, enjoyment, or well-being of any other participant, any Authorized Party, or any third party; or (3) you do not follow any rule, procedure, or instruction of an Authorized Party.
If you are subject to any such determination of an Authorized Party: (1) you may be left at any location, city, port, or place any mode of transport stops; (2) you will be solely responsible for all costs relating to your subsequent subsistence, accommodation, and transportation; (3) you will forego any right to any refund, in whole or part, of any fees paid by you for any Travel Services; and (4) no Authorized Party will have any direct or indirect liability of any kind relating to Traveler acts, errors, or omissions.
“Authorized Party” means any third party, including its owners, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, who provides to you Travel Services or related goods or services, including any ship operator, ship captain, tour operator, tour director, group leader, or crew member.
DISABILITIES & SPECIAL NEEDS
If you have disabilities or special needs that may require non-emergency special services, additional support, or disability accommodations, please advise Agency in advance of Booking.
Airlines and other transport providers may impose charges for additional baggage and may have size restrictions for wheelchairs they can accommodate. If you are unable to use your own wheelchairs, mobility devices, or other medical equipment or devices, rentals may be available, potentially subject to additional charges. If you travel with a service or emotional support animal, third parties may require advance arrangements and documentation regarding the animal’s health, training, and related factors.
Countries outside the United States and Canada often apply different laws, rules, regulations, standards, and accommodations for persons with disabilities or special needs. Travel destinations may have limited medical facilities, limited availability of prescription medications, and limited means to accommodate your disability or special needs. Please consult your health provider prior to planning or Booking your travel.
Agency will make all reasonable efforts to request assistance or arrange for appropriate services or equipment regarding Traveler disabilities or special needs. However, Agency is not responsible for the failure of any third party to meet Traveler needs and expectations.
FOOD ALLERGIES
If you have food allergies or any similar conditions that may cause you harm during your travel (“Food Allergies”), please advise Agency in advance of Booking. If any Traveler has Food Allergies, each such Traveler: (1) acknowledges the possibility of an elevated risk of reactions, delays, or disruption during travel; and (2) has sole responsibility for his or her Food Allergies and for performing all due diligence relating to such Food Allergies prior to, during, and following travel.
RISK ACTIVITY
If you engage in any activity that may involve any risk of harm to your own or another person’s health or well-being, damage to property, or costs relating to such activity (collectively, “Risk Activity”), you are solely responsible for your decision to engage in, and your involvement with, such Risk Activity. You assume all risks, costs, losses, liabilities, and claims relating to any Risk Activity. You will not pursue any claim against Agency, and you release Agency from all liabilities, relating to any Risk Activity.
Risk Activity includes any activity, or travel to any location, which can reasonably be regarded as inherently dangerous, hazardous, or otherwise having the potential to result in: (1) the damage to or loss of any property; or (2) the injury, disability, illness, or death of any person.
ILLNESS & INJURY
If you become ill or injured during a Trip, you will bear all responsibility for your well-being and treatment, if required. In such case, you will be responsible for all costs, planning, and logistics regarding alternative travel arrangements. You will not cause a delay or interruption regarding any Trip or otherwise burden other Travelers in your Group. You release Agency, third parties, and other Travelers in your Group from any liability relating to your illness, injury, missed flights or connections, travel delays, or unused Bookings.
BAGGAGE & PERSONAL ITEMS
You are solely responsible at all times for your baggage and personal items, including items acquired during your travel. Agency is not responsible for any damage, loss, delays, or other matters relating to such baggage and personal items.
PASSPORTS, VISAS, MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION
You are responsible for: (1) determining in advance all documents needed to enter, exit, or transit any jurisdiction, including passports, visas, and medical and other required documentation; (2) acquiring all such documentation; (3) ensuring all such documentation is current and in your possession; and (4) remaining familiar with and understanding the rules governing travel in each jurisdiction on your itinerary.
Agency is not responsible for: (1) your failure to update or possess passports, visas, or medical or other documentation that may be required to enter, exit, or transit any jurisdiction; or (2) determining the validity of your passport, visa, or medical or other documentation required by any jurisdiction.
NO REFUND will be issued for any costs or losses incurred as a result of Traveler’s failure to obtain or possess any passport, visa, or medical or other documentation required by any third party. Refusal of entry, exit, or transit by any third party will not be a justification for cancellation or refund regarding Travel Services.
All U.S. citizens traveling to or from any international destination must have a valid passport, which must be valid for at least six months beyond Traveler’s date of return. Minor Travelers (age 17 and under) traveling without an adult, with a single parent, or with a non-parent adult may be required to carry additional authorizations and documentation. Travelers are responsible for, and Agency has no responsibility relating to, such authorizations or documentation.
TRAVELER IDENTIFICATION & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires all airline passengers to provide: (1) Secure Flight Passenger Data (SFPD); (2) full name as it appears on government-issued identification; (3) date of birth; (4) gender; and (5) redress number (if available). The names of Travelers on all reservations and travel documents must match the name as it appears on that Traveler’s government-issued identification. Traveler is responsible for any fees and expenses that may be incurred due to an incorrect name or the denial of travel resulting from incorrect or non-matching information. Updated information regarding security measures and air travel requirements are available at https://www.tsa.gov/. We strongly recommend that Travelers review this website well before travel.
CRIMINAL RECORDS
Jurisdictions may restrict entry for persons with criminal records. You are responsible for understanding all destination entry laws and for knowing if you or anyone in your party has a criminal record. Agency does not inquire into Traveler criminal records in the interests of privacy.
PANDEMICS, EPIDEMICS, AND TRAVEL ADVISORIES
You are solely responsible for being aware of any compliance with any restrictions relating to pandemics, epidemics, and other travel advisories. You warrant that you have reviewed, understand, and will continually check U.S. Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) and U.S. Department of State travel advisories, notices, warnings, restrictions, and rules, including those regarding pandemics, epidemics, and other health threats, which can be navigated via the following links: (1) CDC https://www.cdc.gov/; (2) U.S. Department of State https://www.state.gov/. Government notices and policies may change before your travel, during your travel, and after you return from travel.
