By making a booking online, you enter into a contract, which is binding as soon as you receive the booking confirmation from us. The “contractual partner” is the person responsible for the booking, also for third party bookings.

After receiving your booking we will send you a booking confirmation and ask you to pay a deposit of 15% of the total holiday cost if the deposit has not yet been paid. The final payment is due no later than 21 days before commencement of the holiday on receipt of the travel documents and further booking information. If you make a booking within 4 weeks of the commencement date of your holiday then payment must be made in full at the time of the booking.

• Cancellation between 6 to 3 weeks before commencement date: 50% of total holiday cost
• Cancellation after 3 weeks before commencement date: 100% of total holiday cost.
