If You Have To Cancel Regardless of reason, cancellations result in costly charges from travel and hotel providers covering penalties and fees incurred by canceling confirmed bookings. Therefore, the fees listed will apply.

$400 per person 59-30 days before departure $800 per person 29-1 days before departure $1200 per person Guests choosing not to purchase Tauck’s Event Protection or Cancellation Fee Waiver will incur cancellation penalties per person as follows: 60 days or more before departure

Event Interruption Fees – If you have to interrupt your event en route, you may be entitled to a refund for the unused land portion if it exceeds 24 hours; certain restrictions apply. Such refunds are based upon the number of overnights missed less a fee of $40 per person per day for unused transportation and other fixed expenses. Partial Room Cancellation – A person canceling or leaving an event while a roommate remains constitutes a cancellation of one type of accommodation and rebooking of another. The price charged the remaining person is the new, higher price for the new accommodation. Click here to download our complete Description of Coverage. Still have questions?
