Is it possible to modify the flights included in the package (depart earlier or return later) or deviate the flights?

Before the booking, yes. Our sales team will be happy to customize your package if you wish to stay longer at your destination, come back from a different airport, or add a flight if needed.

The balance is due 60 days prior to departure for land packages and 125 days prior for cruise packages.

Once I book, do I receive a confirmation?

No, that is not possible. We send all travel documents via email.

If you wish to cancel your trip after you paid the deposit, you forfeit the deposit. If you wish to cancel your trip after you paid your balance, you forfeit the total amount paid.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance with us or on your own. You may want to check if your credit card or other personal benefits already cover you.

Once I book, is it possible to change my departure date?

No, once your package is booked, the date cannot be modified. 

 

Can I transfer my package to someone else?

Your package is not transferrable. However, under some circumstances, our team may be able to transfer part of your trip to a new passenger. The situation will have to be carefully examined by our operations department and fees can apply.

Is it possible to purchase travel insurance through you?

Yes. We are authorized partners of Allianz and as such, may sell travel insurance (medical, cancellation or all-inclusive).

Will a guide be meeting us at the airport in Canada?

No. In fact, there is no need for a guide to travel with you from Canada. You will take your flights on your own, from your departure airport in Canada, and you will be greeted upon arrival (if your package includes airport transfers). Our local operators are well-coordinated to welcome you at the airport.

Do I need a visa to travel?

Whether you need a visa or not depends on your citizenship and your destination. It is your responsibility to make sure you have the right documents to enter/stop in a country. For some of our packages (Jordan, Vietnam) we take care of the visa for you and/or let you know how to obtain it.

I need to renew my passport -- can I still book?

My passport is about to expire -- do I have to renew it before traveling?
