All cancellation notices must be received in writing and will become effective as of the date of the postmark. If you cancel 120 days or more prior to departure, a full refund of the trip cost will be made. Per-person charges for cancellations that occur less than 120 days prior to departure are as follows: 91-119 days prior to departure: 10% of the trip cost; 45-90 days prior to departure: 15% of the trip cost; 44 or fewer days prior to departure: 50% of the trip cost. This policy also applies to pre- and post-trip extensions. Any airline tickets issued are subject to the carrier’s refund policy. Leaving an expedition in progress, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund, and no refunds will be made for any unused portions of an expedition. We reserve the right to cancel any trip because of inadequate enrollment that makes the trip economically infeasible to operate or because of good-faith concerns with respect to the safety, health, or welfare of the participants. If an expedition is canceled prior to departure, the tour operator will provide you with a full refund of monies paid to the tour operator; except in the event that the cancellation is due to a significant event that makes it infeasible to operate the expedition as planned, in which case the tour operator will provide you with a refund and/or credit toward a future trip equivalent to monies paid to the tour operator. If we cancel the trip in progress, you will receive a prorated refund based on the number of days not completed on the expedition. We will not be responsible for any refund for nonrefundable airline tickets or for any airline tickets purchased by the passenger directly from an airline or travel agent. We will not be responsible for any refund for nonrefundable ground transportation to and from the venue or for any ground transportation purchased by the passenger directly from a travel agent.
