Processing of any refunds due may require a 2-3 billing cycles of 4-5 weeks each OR LONGER depending on the tour operator.

You have been advised that travel protection insurance and/or cancellation waiver is available and you have received the opportunity to purchase or decline insurance. You understand that by declining insurance that you may not receive any type of refund in the event of a cancellation and that all rescheduling or change fees are solely your responsibility. You also understand that by declining insurance you may not have any during travel medical coverage, emergency evacuation or other coverages typically provided by a travel insurance policy.

You understand if cancellation waiver coverage is available and you select to purchase, the waiver only covers cancellation charges and does not cover airline fees or non-refundable hotels and does not provide additional travel insurance.

**Please note cancellation waiver is not available with all suppliers. CFAR, or cancel for any reason coverage, can be added to insurance policies within 21 days of purchase, but usually only reimburses 50% or 75% of the package value.  If a supplier offers CFAR with refund as part of your package, you may opt to pay the higher premium for it vs. receiving a future travel credit. Please ask travel agent if you are not sure which option you have or being offered. *
