Processing fees associated with credit card payments are non-refundable.

Returned payments may be subject to additional fees.

4. Pricing & Program Changes

Program pricing is based on:

• Vendor contracts

• Exchange rates

Minor itinerary changes may occur due to operational considerations. Comparable substitutions may be made when necessary.

Cancellations must be submitted in writing.

Refunds are governed by the published Cancellation & Refund Policy for the applicable program.
