  • We will notify you as soon as possible

  • If the alternative is not acceptable to you, we will provide a full refund of all monies paid to us

4Force Majeure

Force majeure events are unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even with all due care.

If your booking is affected by events beyond our control (force majeure), including but not limited to war, threat of war, civil unrest, terrorist activity, natural disaster, adverse weather conditions, or health emergencies:

  • We will make reasonable efforts to provide alternative arrangements
  • If it is not possible to provide the service at all, refunds will be determined on a case-by-case basis
  • We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover such situations
