Common Cancellation Fee Structures

• 60+ Days Prior: Usually forfeiture of a 30% deposit.
• 30-59 Days Prior: 50% refund or 25-50% fee.
• 15-29 Days Prior: 30-50% refund.
• 10-15 Days or Less: Often 100% non-refundable.
• Peak Season: Special holidays (e.g., Christmas, New Year) often mean no cancellations are allowed.

Key Considerations

• Written Notice: Cancellations usually must be sent via email.
• Force Majeure: Cancellations due to weather, pandemic, or political strikes may not be refunded, though some companies offer travel credits.
• Insurance: It is highly recommended to purchase travel insurance for unexpected emergencies.
• Vendor Rules: Non-refundable prepaid items like flights or specific hotel bookings may be lost regardless of the tour operator’s policy.
