1. Deposit & Final Payment:
To confirm your booking, a non-refundable land package deposit is required. The amount of the deposit may vary depending on the destination that you have selected. For all destinations, except Japan, Korea, and Taiwan the deposit amount is set at $250.00 per person. For Japan, Korea, and Taiwan the deposit amount is $500.00 per person.
For River Cruise packages, the deposit amount is set at $750.00 per person based on double cabin occupancy, and $1500.00 per person for single cabin occupancy.
Prices will not be confirmed until payment is received. If additional deposits are required, you will be notified at the time of booking. These additions may be for Holiday times, airfare, and other special occasions or supplier requirements.
Final payment will be due no later than 75 days prior to travel (any earlier deadlines will be advised at the time of deposit). If a deposit is not received by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel the booking and keep the non-refundable deposit. Bookings made within 75 days of travel, will require payment in full to secure reservation. In the case of computer or human billing or invoice error, we reserve the right to amend and send the corrected invoice.
Payments may be made with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or agency check. The name on the card must match the name of the passengers traveling. Our acceptance of this credit card or payment indicates the passenger’s acceptance of all terms and conditions and their compliance.
Payments and authorization forms should be sent to:

2. Revision and Cancellation fees:
$50.00 per transaction will be assessed for any change or revision made to the reservation before 75 days. A change of departure date within 75 days of departure will be treated as a cancellation and cancellation charges will apply.
For individual bookings, the following per person cancellation fees apply.
More than 75 days prior to departure: a non-refundable deposit will be retained.
75 – 60 days prior to departure: 25% of the total price
59 – 45 days prior to departure: 50% of the total price
44 – 21 days prior to departure: 75% of the total price
Within 21 days prior to departure: 100% of the total price
Please note that for holidays or peak season bookings, the cancellation fees will depend on the suppliers or hotel policy. The details of the penalty policy will be indicated in the proposal or confirmation.
No refund or reduced fees will be made to passengers who deviate from the original itinerary regardless of the portions of the itinerary unused and/or failed to secure valid travel documents such as passports or visas.
Airline tickets once ticketed may be non-refundable. Any changes will incur the revision fee plus any airline-imposed penalty. This penalty may be up to 100% of the ticket and the new ticket will be issued at the current rate at the time of revision.
