GENERAL CONDITIONS

The general conditions are an inseparable part of the ‘Tour Brochure’ and the ‘Tour Registration Contract’ ; they cannot be considered independently.

‣Our tour program is organized with a certain participation requirement. If sufficient participation is not achieved for the trip, the final cancellation notice date is 20 days before departure. The canceled tour due to insufficient participation will be communicated to you through operations.

‣In cases where only category information is provided in the tour program without specifying the name and/or options are available for the same destination, the hotel(s) will be notified by our agency 48 hours before the tour departure.

‣Tours may be combined with tours from other agencies. In such cases, our Agency is responsible for the guests.

‣This price list and program are valid until a new price list is issued.

‣Our prices in all package programs are limited to quotas for up to 10 people, and for groups exceeding this number, there may be a price increase. Please ask for price information.

‣When exiting through Turkish customs at passport control, for all passport types, whether Turkish citizens or foreign nationals, even if they have a passport with a valid visa, a minimum validity of 6 months is required from the travel date for all passport types (Ordinary, Special Stamped, Service Stamped, Diplomatic). For this reason, our agency does not approve passports with less than 6 months validity. Our Agency has no compensation liability toward the passenger for the inability of holders of passports with less than 6 months validity to join the tour.

‣Our agency acts as an intermediary between the consumers joining the trip and all kinds of third parties and legal entities providing services related to the cruise, hotel, carriers, and the trip.

‣For all customs-controlled international departures, passengers are required to be present at the relevant port 3 hours before the tour departure time on the departure day. In particular, guests arriving from other cities to ports or airports by domestic flight must arrange their flight times according to the time they are required to be at the port.

‣Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and in such rooms the bed allocated to the 3rd person is smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed + 1 extra bed. Since the extra beds are foldable beds and couch beds, participants in the tour are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible cramped space in the rooms and the bed type for 3rd person and/or child reservations.

‣Due to the limited number of TWIN (2 separate beds) rooms in hotels, please check your TWIN room request before making a reservation.
