Deposit

Your booking is confirmed once the £350 deposit is paid. The deposit is non-refundable and non-exchangeable under all circumstances.

The full balance is due by 14 September 2026. The amount depends on whether you choose a private or shared room and includes accommodation, meals, transfers and all included excursions.

Cancellations

If you cancel after the balance due date, no refunds or transfers can be offered for any reason. This is why comprehensive travel insurance is essential.
