Rail tickets issued on special trains such as Great Canadian Railtour Company
and Via Rail are non-refundable 60 days or less prior to departure.
Cancellations must be made by 5:00PM Pacific time on the last business
day of the applicable time period. Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays
are not considered business days. No refund or adjustment will be made
in the event of interruption or cancellation of any package after the
commencement of any program.
Note: Failure to check in for your flight two hours prior to departure
may result in denial of boarding and a refund may not be granted in such
an event.
Maupintour reserves the right to alter itineraries should it become
necessary or desirable. Other than major changes as below, Maupintour
reserves the right to make changes in routings, visits and tour timings
at any time and guests will, if practical, be advised of any such changes
before departure. Maupintour is not obliged to advise guests or to pay
them compensation. In the unlikely event that it is necessary for
Maupintour to cancel a tour or to make a major change (and a major change
is a change to the departure date), Maupintour will advise guests as soon
as practically possible before departure date. Guests will then have the
choice of accepting the major change with such alternative arrangements
for the tour and appropriate compensation as Maupintour shall offer, or
choosing an alternative departure date for the tour, or withdrawing from
the contract and accepting a full refund of all monies paid to Maupintour.
A $50 per person service fee will be assessed for each change to a tour
or air booking plus any additional fees that may be charged by Maupintour's
suppliers. Changes in departure date, itinerary or passenger are considered
a cancellation and a new booking. All changes and substitutions are subject
to space availability, rates and booking conditions in effect at the time
of the change. No change will be made unless permitted under the terms of
our cancellation policy, even if you transfer to another departure.
Timetables and rates are subject to change, and
exceptions may apply for holiday departures; please confirm payment and
cancellation policies with your Vacations To Go travel counselor at time
of booking. Deposit, payment and cancellation terms may differ for
group bookings.
Purchase of the CSA Insurance Plan may reduce or eliminate the cancellation
and interruption fees outlined above. For more information please call
your Vacations To Go travel counselor.
