Choosing Your Trip
Once you've had a chance to browse our catalog, be sure to check out our Detailed Itineraries. These are available for downloading from Trip Pages, or they can be sent to you via fax, email, or mail. Our Area Specialists can answer any questions you might have, and they would be happy to refer you to someone who has traveled with us before for a reference.

Reserving Your Place
Early reservations are recommended, since group sizes are limited . For immediate confirmation on a trip, you may call us at 0091-141-2223907 and charge the initial $250 deposit to your Visa, MasterCard, or American Express credit card, or download the Trip Application . Each participant must submit a separate signed application prior to departure.
Upon receiving your deposit we will send you a confirmation letter, detailed trip itinerary,  Your final trip details will be sent about 3 weeks prior to departure.

Payment Schedule
At time of reservation.........................$250
90 days prior to departure...............   $250
30 days prior to departure..................Balance

Prices are quoted in US dollars and all payments must be made in US dollars whether by check or credit card. All land payments submitted less than 15 days prior to departure must be by credit card or cashier's check. 

Pricing
In order to offer the lowest possible price, all of our tours are priced according to the number of full-price passengers on the trip. For example:
Land Cost: $1795 (13-15 members), $1995 (9-12 members)

The catalog lists two tier prices for most trips. In many instances, a third tier may exist, generally requiring a 10% price surcharge above the second tier, which allows a trip to run with as few as four participants. Exact tier prices are listed in the separate detailed trip itineraries printed for each trip. If you call, we will advise you of the tier structure for a given trip, and send you a copy of the detailed trip itinerary. Prices listed in this brochure are subject to change since the trip dates and prices have often been published more than a year in advance. Between that time and the time of the trip's actual departure, we are occasionally faced with exceptional cost increases or currency fluctuations that we cannot absorb. We do everything we can to keep our prices the same as published.

Single Supplements
Accommodations 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. However, if a roommate is not available, the forced single supplement will be charged .

Cancellations and Refunds
If it becomes necessary for you to cancel your trip, the following fees will apply computed as of the date of receipt of written cancellation notice.

Cancellation Fee Schedule*
Minimum fee.......................................$0
46-90 days prior to departure..............25% of land cost
45 days or less.................................100% of land cost

Rates are based on group participation and no partial refunds will be given for unused trip arrangements for any reason whatsoever.

Advent journeys. reserves the right to cancel any trip prior to departure for any reason whatsoever, including insufficient signup or logistical problems that may impede trip operations. The refund of all land payments received shall release Advent Journeys. from any further liability. A trip canceled due to insufficient signup would normally occur a minimum of one month prior to departure.

Advent Journeys. must normally make substantial payments to its suppliers (hotels, transportation companies, etc.) far in advance of the scheduled embarkation date. If a trip is canceled due to force majeure (acts of God, war, labor strikes, earthquake, flooding, etc.), Advent journeys. will promptly refund the portion of the trip cost not already advanced to suppliers and use its best efforts to recover and refund the balance as promptly as possible. However, Advent Journeys. does not guarantee recovery of any or all of the advance payments made, and our use of best efforts to recover these payments will not include the institution of any legal proceedings in foreign jurisdictions.

Advent Journeys. is not responsible for expenses incurred by trip members in preparing for a canceled trip (e.g., nonrefundable advance purchase air tickets, visa fees, inoculations, equipment, etc.) or for any additional arrangements should the trip member have embarked prior to the scheduled group departure date. Once you have been confirmed on a trip that requires a medical certificate signed by a doctor, normal cancellation penalties apply if your doctor does not sign the certificate.

Transfers
You may transfer to another trip without penalty by notifying us of your wish to transfer 91 days or more prior to departure. After that time you are subject to the cancellation fees outlined above. This does not apply to trips with non-refundable deposits.

Limitation of Liability
Payment of your deposit represents your acceptance of the following terms and conditions::

Advent Journeys. gives notice that services provided in connection with its itineraries, including transportation, hotel accommodations, restaurants, and other services, are purchased from various independent suppliers who are not affiliated with Advent Journeys. in any way. Although it endeavors to choose the best suppliers available, Advent Journeys. has no right to control their operations and therefore makes these travel arrangements upon the express condition that Advent Journeys., and its own agents and employees, shall not be liable for any delay, mishap, inconvenience, expense, irregularity, bodily injury or death to person, or damage to property occasioned through the conduct or default of any company or individual engaged in providing these services.

Advent Journeys. shall not be liable for: (a) expenses such as additional hotel nights and meals not specified in the individual trip itineraries that may be required either en route, prior to, or following a trip, when caused by individual clients' travel arrangements, by airline scheduling or airline schedule changes, canceled flights, missed flight connections, or by other factors not under Advent journeys's control; (b) expenses incurred in recovering luggage lost by airlines, belongings left behind on a trip, or in shipping purchases or other goods home from abroad; (c) bodily injury or property damage for any reason, including but not limited to acts of God, weather, quarantines, strikes, civil disturbance, theft, default, detention, annoyance, changes in government regulations, terrorism, war, or failure of conveyance to arrive or depart as scheduled, etc., over which it (Advent Journeys.) has no control.

Advent Journeys. reserves the right to take photographic or film records of any of our trips, and may use any such records for promotional and/or commercial purposes.

Advent journeys. reserves the right to substitute both trip leaders and hotels from those listed in the catalog without notice.

Advent Journeys. reserves the right to decline to accept or to restrain from further participation any person it judges to be incapable of meeting the rigors and requirements of participating in the activities, or any person whose actions or deportment impede trip operation or the rights, welfare, or enjoyment of other trip members. A refund based on cost of unused land services is the limit of Advent journeys's responsibility in such a case.

We are also happy to discuss the trip with you, as well as provide you with names of past participants who can discuss their experience with you. Trip members are held responsible for being in sufficient good health to undertake the trip.
