It will be effective on the date of receipt. These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that might be levied by your travel agent. There is no refund for unused services or for unused portions of the trip.  Cancellation charges, per person and based upon the date of cancellation and the region of the cruise itinerary, are as follows:

**Fare is defined as the cost of any cruise, or land, element purchased from Trafalgar. 

NO-SHOWS are subject to 100% penalty, applicable to bookings for all sailing regions. 

If air is cancelled one hundred and nineteen (119) days prior to departure or less, the full price of your air is non-refundable. Please see Air Cancellations for details 

If a person in a party cancels and there is a stateroom change caused by this cancellation (such as a double room to single), charges for the new stateroom type will be the responsibility of the remaining party. 

Deposit Protection program—5 Year Guarantee:
Should your plans change and you cancel your booking one hundred and twenty (120) days or more prior to your cruise/tour start date, you will receive a credit of £200 per person, valid for up to five years from date of cancellation. This credit cannot be used as a deposit for a future booking and can only be used as a credit (no cash value). Only one credit per person can be applied to each cruise or cruise/tour booked and is combinable with all current Trafalgar promotions. 

Revision Fee:
A fee of £50 per person, per transaction, will be charged for any revision made to the reservation unless the change increases the value of the booking. A passenger name change, and cruise/tour date change will be treated as a cancellation subject to our cancellation policy, and a new reservation must be made. Any revision to a booking may result in the loss of a confirmed airline reservation, Trafalgar change fees (refer to the Air Travel change fees section for details), increased airfare, and any charges levied by the airlines, which will be payable by the passenger. 

Air Cancellations:

Should a guest cancel airline arrangements made by Trafalgar, cancellation charges will apply of £50 per person plus any airline imposed penalties  which may be up to 100% of the air ticket value. 

Where a customer has purchased a wholesale airfare under The Provider as part of their package, the airfare must be utilized in conjunction with the land/cruise as part of the package. After payment, should a package change to a flight only booking, then the air ticket will be required to be upgraded to another fare at your cost (this can include airline penalty fees, fare and taxes will be payable) to retain the ticket. 

Not showing up for your outbound flight as booked and ticketed will be considered a no-show, and all the connecting flights associated with this one, even a return flight will be cancelled, and no refund will apply.  

Airfare: 

Trafalgar wants to help make your entire travel experience as seamless as possible, so we offer a service to arrange UK flights at the time of booking. Please contact your Travel Professional or Trafalgar for the most up-to-date prices. As airfares and schedules are subject to availability, we encourage you to book early. Business Class flights may not be available for flight segments within the UK or Europe and may require travel in economy class.

Clients booking their own flights, and who wish to purchase one of our group or private transfers, need to check with their reservations specialist to ensure flights are booked into and out of the correct airports according to our transfer guidelines. Some cities have more than one airport and transfers operate out of specific airport.

Trafalgar does not hold block space on any airline and does not assure seat availability for every single Cruise or Cruise Journey departure date.

Price Changes
Airlines and other travel providers (including Trafalgar) change pricing, and itineraries from time to time. Prior to your booking and paying for travel, all prices and itineraries in this brochure are subject to change at any time.

Air Travel Change Fees:

Airline Schedule Changes and Cancellations:

If the airline notifies Trafalgar of a major schedule change, we will notify you or your travel agent by email. Changes in flight time or operating airline will not result in eligibility for reimbursement or reduced change fees should you not accept the schedule change offered by the airline. 

If the airline cancels your flight(s) and is not able to protect you on alternate flight(s) Trafalgar will attempt to secure new air for you and any fare differential will be yours to pay. Should you not accept the new air itinerary within the timeframe allowed the air will be released and we will issue a refund of the amount received for airfare.  Trafalgar reserves the right to offer alternative schedules for itineraries affected by airline schedule changes and equipment.

Mandatory Passenger Registration: 
Due to government-imposed security/immigration measures, passport information and emergency contact information are required for all passengers prior to release of documentation.

Trafalgar Guests are required to register for their cruise via our Passenger Information Form. There, you can provide the following necessary information: 

• Your full name and date of birth as shown on your passport.

Passport: 

A valid passport is required to travel on all Trafalgar programs. Passports must be valid for at least six (6) months after the scheduled return date of the trip. You should check with your Travel Advisor or the British Consulate Service for information regarding necessary visas and other documentation. Non-British citizens must contact the appropriate consular office for entry requirements pertaining to your trip. Any visa(s) or other documentation required for a particular itinerary is the sole responsibility of the guest.

• Check your passport to confirm it will be valid for your travel dates, and allow time to renew if needed.
• Passport validity rules vary from country to country, so check the FCDO travel advice to find out the rules for the country you’re visiting.
• If you’re travelling to any country in the EU (except Ireland), the rules for British passport holders are different now that the UK is no longer in the EU. Your passport must have been issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the EU and it must be valid for at least three months after the day you plan to leave. Airlines may have additional requirements.
• Children's passports are only valid for five years.

Visas
Visas can be acquired for a fee through the consulates or embassies of the countries to be visited, and in some cases, they can be purchased on arrival. Obtaining and carrying these documents is your sole responsibility; Trafalgar will not be responsible for advising and/or obtaining required travel documentation for any passenger, or for any delays, damages, and/or losses, including missed portions of your trip, related to improper travel documentation.

ETIAS: 
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is a visa waiver/pre-screening program for ALL travelers who are visiting countries in the Schengen Area, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Romania. 

ETIAS is expected to come into effect in 2025. Once in effect, guests will complete a short online application with security, health, and passport questions, pay a processing fee, and obtain an approved ETIAS visa waiver within approximately 72 hours. The waiver will be required for entry and will be valid for short-term stays of up to 90 days. Travelers can then move freely between the Schengen countries as there are no internal hard borders within the zone.

Itinerary Changes:

You can count on the value of Trafalgar’s experience and regional knowledge to make sure you enjoy your cruise/tour even when conditions beyond our control occur. The very nature of a river, its sources, and networks of bridges and locks, means that there will be times when weather or other conditions in a region require Trafalgar to make adjustments and/or modifications to an itinerary. Although every effort will be made to keep itineraries, vessels, and hotels as they are shown in the brochure, Trafalgar reserves the right to substitute itineraries, hotels, or vessels. In such cases, we will do everything we can to make sure the locations visited, the excursions taken and the hotels or vessels offered are similar to the ones originally planned. 

Changes which are minor in nature will not result in eligibility for a refund or compensation, these include but are not limited to changing order of itineraries, arrival/departure times, providing alternative stops and experiences and provision of alternative accommodation. 

Where Uniworld makes a major change unless the change arises for unusual or unforeseeable reasons outside of our control (also referred to as reasons of "force majeure", and includes war (and threat of war), riot, industrial dispute, actual or threatened terrorist activity and its consequences, civil disturbances, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, adverse weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics, unavoidable technical problems with transportation and any other similar events):  

1. Before the departure of the cruise guests are entitled to cancel the cruise, receive a full refund of monies paid and compensation as laid out in the table below.

Trafalgar reserves the right to cancel, advance, postpone or modify scheduled departure, return or itinerary dates, as well as locations, events and schedules, and may, but is not obligated to, substitute, vary, alter, reschedule, cancel and/or relocate any accommodations, vessels, modes of transportation and other aspects of the vacation. Trafalgar is authorized to take these actions due to causes or circumstances of any kind or nature beyond Trafalgar’s control, or causes or circumstances within Trafalgar’s control that Trafalgar deems to make such actions appropriate. Trafalgar will not be liable for cancellation, delay, rescheduling or other adjustment or impact to a departure or itinerary, or other aspects of the holiday brought about due to force majeure or other circumstances beyond its control that prevent or interfere with any aspect of the cruise/tour, also including governmental and administrative actions.

You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). 

If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us, the Travel Agent (or your credit card issuer where applicable). You also agree that any such claims may be re-assigned to another body, if that other body has paid sums you have claimed under the ATOL scheme. 

When you buy a package holiday that does not include a flight, protection is provided by way of a bond held by ABTA.
