Cancellation less than 90 days prior to departure = no refund

3. COMPULSARY TRAVEL INSURANCE:
We require all travelers to purchase travel insurance for all of our voyages. This provides protection against an emergency that may force you to cancel a voyage with us - or a situation where we are forced to cancel a voyage due to bad weather, or other circumstances outside our control.

4. MEDICAL INFORMATION:
Participation in our expeditions requires that you be in generally good health. It is essential that persons with any medical problems and related dietary restrictions make them known to us well before departure. We can counsel you on whether the expedition you have selected is appropriate for you. The Captain of our vessel has the right to disqualify any participant at any time during the voyage if he/she feels the participant is physically incapable and/or if a participant's continued participation will jeopardize either the individual involved, or the group. There will be no refund given under these circumstances.

5. ITINERARY CHANGES & TRIP DELAY:
Itineraries are based on information available at the time of first publication and are subject to change. Pacific Expeditions reserves the right to change: expedition dates, staff, vessels, or itineraries as conditions warrant. If a trip must be delayed or the itinerary changed due to bad weather, road conditions, transportation delays, delays in securing necessary supplies or safety equipment, government intervention, airline schedules, sickness, or other contingency for which Pacific Expeditions or its agents cannot make provision, the cost of delays (for example: extra accommodation, food, or other costs) are the responsibility of the passenger.

6. ITINERARY CANCELLATION:
Pacific Expeditions reserves the right to cancel an itinerary before departure for any reason whatsoever, including too few participants or logistical problems such as strikes, wars, bad weather, acts of God, or any other circumstances that may make operation of the trip inadvisable. In situations where cancellation is due to situations outside our control you will be covered by your travel insurance. In situations where it is our choice to cancel a voyage, such as to few passengers, all trip payments received will be refunded, and this refund will be the limit of Pacific Expeditions liability. Pacific Expeditions is not responsible for any expenses incurred by expedition members in preparing for the trip, including non refundable or penalty-carrying airline tickets, special clothing, visa or passport fees, or other trip-related expenses.
