Cancel the complete booking 48 hours or more before Day 1: you receive Lifetime Package Credit. It never expires and preserves the same package, original pax entitlement, and original confirmed price, and can be transferred once. Package Credit is not cash and cannot be exchanged for cash. Cancel the complete booking less than 48 hours before Day 1: the booking is forfeited and no Package Credit is created. If one or more travellers cancel but the tour continues, the cancelled travellers receive a cash refund of their confirmed price: 100% at 48 hours or more before Day 1, 50% within 48 hours, and 0% after Day 1. At least 2 paying travellers must remain, otherwise it is treated as a full cancellation.
