SCHEDULED GROUP DEPARTURES

Multi-trip Discounts

It's a big, fascinating, diverse planet on which we live, and Boundless Journeys wants you to explore more of it! We offer discounts on multiple-trips taken in the same calendar year – simply contact our office for details.

Reservations

Reserve early! Our tours often fill months in advance, and our maximum group size is smaller than most tour operators'. For immediate confirmation of your trip, call our office directly at 1-800-941-8010 and charge your initial deposit to your credit card. You may also request a reservation online. We will confirm your reservation within one business day of receiving your application.

Upon receipt of your deposit, we will mail your confirmation letter, detailed trip planner (including packing suggestions, useful destination information, and a suggested reading list), and insurance recommendations.

Payment Schedule*

At the time of reservation: $500 USD per person, plus internal airfare if applicable
90 days prior to tour departure: Balance due

*Payment schedules for cruises, safaris, Private Collection departures, custom trips, and certain special events vary. These exceptions are clearly indicated in the detailed itineraries for each of these trips.

All payments may be made by check or credit card. Prices are in US dollars and all payments must be made in US dollars. Prices may be subject to change prior to confirming a reservation.

Single Supplements

Accommodations (hotels, tents, cruise cabins) are based on double occupancy. A single supplement is paid by participants who specifically request single accommodations, subject to availability. If you are traveling alone and wish to share accommodations, we will try to match you with a roommate of the same gender. If you reserve at least 90 days ahead and a roommate is not available, you will only be charged a "forced" single supplement in the amount of 50% of the standard single supplement (unless otherwise noted in the detailed itinerary). Single accommodations are limited so you are encouraged to reserve early!

Cancellations & Refunds

If you need to cancel your trip, you should call Boundless Journeys or your travel agent immediately, and then send notification in writing by e-mail, fax, or mail. Certain fees will apply, calculated as of the date Boundless Journeys receives written notice of cancellation.

Cancellation Fee Schedule*

Minimum Fee is $100 per person
90 to 61 days before departure is 25% of the trip price
60 to 46 days before departure is 50% of the trip price
45-0 days prior to departure is 100% of the trip price

*Cancellation and transfer schedules for cruises, safaris, Private Collection departures, custom trips, and certain special events are often more strict. These exceptions are clearly indicated in the detailed itineraries for each of these trips. Internal airfare purchased on your behalf by Boundless Journeys is subject to the airline's cancellation policies.

Transfers

You may transfer to another trip that is within the same calendar year without penalty by notifying us of your wish to transfer 90 days or more prior to departure. After that time our normal cancellation fees apply.

Canceled Trips

In the rare event that Boundless Journeys must cancel a tour, all trip members will be notified a minimum of 45 days before the trip departs and will receive a full refund of payments made to Boundless Journeys. Boundless Journeys reserves the right to cancel any tour for any reason, including insufficient tour enrollment. Boundless Journeys is not responsible for expenses incurred by guests in preparing for a canceled tour, including, but not limited to, nonrefundable airline tickets, visa fees, inoculations, equipment, etc. We encourage you to contact our office prior to purchasing your airline tickets to check the status of your tour.

Trip Cancellation Insurance

We strongly recommend purchasing Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance from the application we enclose with your trip planning materials or through you travel agent. This can help prevent needless loss in case of serious illness, accident, or death of the passenger, passenger's immediate family, or traveling companion.

What Your Trip Includes

The land cost for a typical trip includes the following:

• Expert leadership

• Accommodations during your tour

PRIVATE COLLECTION DEPARTURES

Private Collection Reservations

Plan ahead! While we can often organize amazing private trips for our clients with as little as 4-6 weeks notice, we recommend contacting Boundless Journeys at least 6 months ahead – more for safaris and expedition cruises – to assure the best availability for your dates.

You may also e-mail info@boundlessjourneys.com and a Private Collection Trip Planner will be in touch on the next business day.

CUSTOMIZED PRIVATE TRIPS

Initial Consultation

A complimentary initial consultation by a Boundless Journeys trip planning specialist is included for all Custom Trip inquiries. During this initial consultation a budget range (excluding airfare), number of participants, and preliminary itinerary (subject to amendment due to availability and budget issues) will be agreed on.

Custom Trip Planning Fee

In recognition of the additional time required to customize an itinerary to meet your specifications, Boundless Journeys charges a Custom Trip Planning Fee of $250. This fee is payable at the end of the Initial Consultation, is non-refundable, and will be applied to the final balance of the trip. Such fees allow for 10 hours of the Trip Planner's time. For longer, more complex trips, or subsequent changes made to the preliminary itinerary at the traveler's request, an additional Custom Trip Planning Fee may be charged.

Price

The trip price is based on the number of participants in your group and the agreed upon itinerary. Should your group decrease in size prior to your departure, Boundless Journeys reserves the right to adjust the price accordingly.

Additional Terms and Conditions

Please note that Customized Private Trips are subject to all of the same terms and conditions outlined under "Private Collection Departures", above.
