You may request a full refund of your payment, noting that while there will be no cancellation fee, a 6% processing fee (included in your original payment) is non-refundable and will be deducted from your refund amount. Alternatively, you can choose to convert your paid amount into a vacation credit, and our dedicated team would be delighted to work closely with you to redesign an enjoyable travel experience that meets your preferences.
