CANCELLATIONS

Cancellations are subject to fees that vary depending on the date of booking, the date of cancellation, and the package; select a package for more information. Cancellation fees are subject to change at any time, and your reservation is subject to the cancellation policy in effect at the time of booking. A copy of the Terms and Fee Schedule that govern your booking should be available under Your Booking or as an attachment to your booking confirmation email.

When you cancel, we will refund all monies paid, less the following:

  • your deposit or the applicable cancellation fee, whichever is greater
  • the cost of any issued flight tickets if nonrefundable, or any airline cancellation fee if refundable

When you request cancellation, we will notify you of the total of these fees and, if applicable, your total refund. As indicated in the fee schedule, in some cases, we may apply some or all of the cancellation fee we withhold as a Travel Credit, which does not expire and can be used toward any future booking.

If you make a reservation for two or more travelers, one or more of those travelers may cancel while the remaining traveler(s) may continue. Only the canceling travelers will be charged cancellation fees. If this change necessitates the conversion of any double occupancy rooms or cabins to single occupancy, the remaining traveler(s) are responsible for any applicable single occupancy rates, which will be added to their balance due.

If rooming requirements are altered due to a cancellation by one or more passengers, the passengers still traveling must pay the applicable rate for the accommodation to be occupied. Once travel has commenced, no changes to the booking are permitted.

The vacation packages are prepared months in advance, and sometimes one of the advertised services or locations is modified or not available.  On occasion, after your booking is confirmed, we may have to make changes to the services that are part of the package. Most often this will be minor, however, we may have to make a Major Change before you depart. Major Change includes:

  • change of the standard of accommodation.
  • increase in the cost of the vacation package of more than 7% (unless the government imposed it).

  • an error in our rates.

If we must make a Major Change, we will advise you and you may:

  • accept the change.
  • select one of our alternate vacation packages at the applicable price; or
  • cancel completely and obtain a full refund of the price you paid.

Sometimes the hotel featured on the itinerary may not be available because of unexpected maintenance or overbooking.  If this is the case, Voyages Hub will provide a substitute hotel, of an equal or greater standard. If Voyages Hub is obliged to downgrade the accommodation, and you accept that offered change, Voyages Hub will provide you with a partial refund.  We reserve the right to change our published prices without notice and to pass on to you all government-imposed taxes, transportation fees, and surcharges, including fuel and currency fluctuations.

It is your responsibility to be aware of and abide by any destination entry requirements, as well as to bring proof of vaccination with you on the trip and be prepared to present it upon request.

Voyages Hub is not responsible and shall not be liable to any traveler for any destination-imposed travel or entry requirement related to COVID-19, including but not limited to vaccination, testing, or other public health requirements.  Customers who are unwilling or unable to comply with such travel or entry requirements and choose to cancel their tour are subject to the Standard Cancellation Policy.  Voyages Hub also reserves the right in its sole discretion to, in good faith efforts to protect against health concerns, exceed destination-imposed travel or entry requirements and require full vaccination against COVID-19, pre-tour and on-tour testing for COVID-19, and other public health measures for travelers to a certain destination.  In such an event, travelers unable or unwilling to meet such requirements must notify Voyages Hub of their decision to cancel by no later than their tour’s Tour Finalization Date. Travelers acknowledge that Voyages Hub’s sole obligation in that instance is to issue a Future Travel Voucher in all amounts paid (less the cost of travel protection, if purchased) that may be used for future travel.

In these instances, We will make every effort to ensure that the changes provide an equal or better experience for our visitors. We will not be held liable for any damages resulting from these changes.

In rare cases, due to circumstances beyond our control (see Force Majeure below), and for the safety, comfort, and well-being of our travelers, it may become necessary to make significant changes to our itineraries, such as omitting specific destinations or segments of a tour, or even canceling a departure entirely. If this happens, we will notify you as soon as possible. We will also make every effort to obtain refunds from our suppliers for unused services, which we will refund to your account.

However, refunds from all of our suppliers may not be possible (especially for ticketed flights), and we cannot guarantee a refund of your entire package price. Please review our Refund Policy.

Online bookings:

Auto-generated e-mails are sent immediately after payment is made to confirm payment has been received. Online bookings are not confirmed until a personalized e-mail detailing that a booking is confirmed is sent by a member of our reservation team.

Airline Booking

Voyages Hub offers a choice of airlines and airfares for your convenience but is not responsible for the services and policies imposed by the airline selected. Airline schedules and flights are subject to change without notice. Voyages hub is not responsible for penalties incurred for tickets, international or domestic, not issued by Voyages hub due to schedule and/or flight changes.

Do not book flights until you have received a personalized confirmation email from our reservations team which will be within 24 hours of receiving your online booking. We endeavor to display accurate availability on our website, though on rare occasions online bookings are made concurrently with others and our website can not reflect this information

Airline Contact Information: Pursuant to Airline regulations, passengers are responsible to provide Voyages hub with their name as it appears on their passport (or other government-issued I.D. when traveling), date of birth, gender, address, phone number, email, and fax data for all passengers. Passengers must ensure that names are correctly listed on their invoices. Voyages hub will not be responsible for passengers who do not receive an invoice or documents or are denied boarding due to inaccurate information.

Airline Name Changes: Any name change including minor spelling corrections may require airline reservations to be canceled and re-booked. Reservations are subject to current availability and pricing at the time of rebooking. Once airline tickets are issued, subsequent name corrections will be subject to an airline rebooking fee which may be as much as the full value of the airline ticket plus a $50 revision fee per change. Voyages Hub will not be held responsible for the denial of services by a carrier due to any name discrepancy. Name changes must be advised in writing.

Airline Taxes & Surcharges: If you purchased airfare, airline taxes, and surcharges are included. Prior to the completion of full payment, there is a potential for a price increase(s) due to increases in government-levied taxes and fees and/or increased surcharges. To avoid potential increases, you may choose to accelerate your final payment in order that your tickets may be issued. Once issued, airline tickets are no longer subject to potential increases but are fully non-refundable. Certain overseas domestic flights are subject to air taxes which can only be paid locally; in these cases, the specific flights and amounts of those taxes will be indicated in our final documents

Airline Tickets: Once full payment is received, airline tickets will be issued and are fully non-refundable. Should airline tickets require to be issued earlier than the Final Payment Due date, you may be required to pay a larger non-refundable deposit and/or complete full payment. Once issued, some Published Instant Purchase Airfare tickets may be changed prior to the departure date, and the airfare applied toward travel within 12 months of the original date of issue for a fee of $200 or more plus any difference in airfare; however, some tickets are non-changeable; specific fees and policies may vary by airline. Please note that some airlines do not accept all major credit cards for payment of Published Instant Purchase Airfare.

Airline Seat Assignments: As a courtesy service, airline seat assignments are requested on your behalf and are displayed in the order of Passenger #1, #2, and so on. Assignments reflect the best available seats at the time of booking. Some airlines and/or fare types do not allow for pre-seating and require this be done at airport check-in only; in this case, the display shows “N/A". Seats are subject to change by your airline(s) including, for example, when there is a schedule change or equipment change after your initial booking; this may cause seat assignments to be changed or even canceled. In the event that you change seat assignments directly with your airline, changes will not be reflected on this display. At the time that Voyages hub documents are issued, the currently assigned seats will be listed based on the assignments stored in your airline reservation at that time. Should you have questions regarding your assignments, please write to us.

Airline Frequent Flier Programs: Passengers are responsible to contact their airline directly regarding mileage eligibility and accrual. Airline frequent flier programs determine whether to award miles in part or total based on their own rules which are updated frequently. Some discounted or promotional airfares as well as some code-share flights are not eligible for mileage accrual. Some private airfares, such as a “Voyages Hub Airfare", are not eligible for mileage or may qualify for reduced mileage, even if the same airline class of service is eligible for full mileage when sold as an “Instant Purchase” published airfare. Not all published airfares are eligible for mileage. Voyages hub will record frequent flier numbers when provided by the passenger prior to travel documents being issued. However, the addition of frequent flier numbers to airline records does not guarantee mileage eligibility which is at the sole discretion of each airline. Airline schedule changes may result in flights that were originally eligible for mileage accrual no longer being eligible. We highly recommend passengers provide their frequent flier account information whenever checking in online and/or at the airport check-in desk. After travel has commenced, it is often not possible to apply for frequent mileage credit. Passengers are also responsible to determine whether previously earned mileage may be applied to flights to secure upgrades.

Airline Schedule Changes: In the event of an airline schedule change, Voyages Hub will make every effort to inform passengers of the schedule change and new flight schedule prior to departure. Voyages Hub is not responsible for schedule changes including, when applicable, changes in routing and/or the number of stops in the itinerary. Voyages Hub is unable to provide compensation for schedule changes, seat assignment modifications, or cancellations implemented by an airline. In the event of any change in flight itinerary made directly between passengers and their airline, it is the passenger’s responsibility to advise Voyages Hub of amended flight details in writing. Voyages Hub cannot be held responsible for land services, including arrival and/or departure transfers if flights are changed without its knowledge.

Airline Baggage: Checked bags are typically limited to a total dimension of 62 inches by adding length + width + height (example: 26 +26 +10 = 62), and a maximum weight of 50 lbs (23kg). Smart Bags with a USB charging port, GPS tracking device, and other high-tech features are prohibited as checked or carry-on baggage unless the bag is made with removable batteries and the batteries are removed and stored separately. For specific requirements of your airline and for a complete list of fees, please visit the individual airline websites for more information. Many airlines apply charges for checked bags including flights that begin and end within the USA. Voyages Hub avoids the most inexpensive airfare options commonly known as Basic Economy airfares which typically do not include any checked bags nor seat assignments before the day of departure. However, for some airlines, other airfare categories also do not include checked baggage. This will be clearly displayed in our airfare selection and on your invoice. Where available, we highly recommend selecting airfares that include at least 1 piece of checked baggage. Voyages hub is not responsible for checked bag fees, excess luggage or weight charges levied by an airline. Checked baggage allowances displayed on reservation details and invoices reflect the applicable allowance at the time of booking but are subject to change by your airline(s). If your luggage is lost or damaged by the airlines, a baggage claim form must be filed with the carrier before leaving the airport

Aircraft Cabin Disinfection Disclaimer

Some countries may require aircraft cabin insecticide treatment for inbound foreign flights. Information about aircraft disinfection requirements and a list of countries requiring such disinfection are available online at http://www.dot.gov/office-policy/aviation-policy/aircraft-disinsection-requirements.

Neither Voyages Hub nor its personnel, nor its suppliers, may physically lift or assist clients into transportation vehicles. If a traveler thinks he or she might need assistance during a trip, he or she should call Voyages Hub to determine what assistance might reasonably be given. Voyages Hub cannot provide special individual assistance to tour members with special needs for walking, dining, or other routine activities.

*To request a wheelchair-accessible room on a cruise, the traveler or person sharing the room must have a recognized disability that alters a major life function and requires the use of a mobility device and the use of the accessible features provided in the wheelchair-accessible stateroom.

Holiday and Museum Closures

Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances, or many religious, state and local holidays observed throughout the world.

Hotel Accommodations

ROOM OCCUPANCY POLICY

Advertised prices are based on maximum occupancy. Rooms may consist of any combination of the following, based on occupancy: one king-sized bed, one queen-sized bed, one double-sized bed, two queen-sized beds, two double beds, a pull-out couch, a roll-away bed, or a single bed. Upon booking the Trip, should you not provide the names of desired roommates, Voyages Hub Tours Inc. may match you with other passengers based on the chosen occupancy. Voyages Hub Tours Inc. is not in any way liable for injury, loss, or damage as a result of roommate matching. Single and double-room upgrades are available at an additional cost.

All rooms are standard King or Queen or twin-bedded (two single beds) rooms with private facilities unless you have specifically requested and paid for an upgraded room category. Room selection in all cases, unless otherwise reserved, is strictly at the discretion of the hotel’s management on a run-of-house basis. Special requests such as bed types, smoking preferences, and connecting rooms are subject to availability. Triple rooms consist of standard twin beds or one double bed plus a sofa/folding bed or cot for a third person except in the U.S. and Canada, where triple rooms often consist of two double/queen beds for three persons; a fee may be charged by the hotel for the addition of a cot/rollaway. Some single rooms are smaller than standard room sizes. The number of persons accommodated does not dictate the room size. Although available at most 4- and 5-star hotels, the use of air-conditioning abroad differs greatly from the United States. Many European and Canadian hotels were built before central air-conditioning was introduced. Air-conditioning is often shut down at night and from the end until the start of the summer months. All hotel rates are based on Voyages Hub agreements with its suppliers and are not negotiable. Hotel check-in time is generally not before 4:00 p.m. and check-out time is prior to noon. Please be sure that adequate arrangements for accommodations have been taken into consideration when a late-night flight is being used. If a day room is included in the itinerary, check-out will normally be 6:00 p.m. We reserve the right to make substitutions with hotels of equal standard. There will be no refunds for any difference in the cost of those accommodations.

Transfers:

Transfers are provided as indicated for each tour by car, minibus, or motor coach provided airfare is purchased from Voyages Hub. If you purchase a land-only tour, or if you deviate from the arrival and/or departure dates as stated in the itinerary, you will have the option to add transfer services to your reservation. Your arrival transfer is guaranteed for up to one hour from your scheduled arrival time to compensate for minor delays. The voyages hub or the transfer company will not be responsible for flight delays, for any reason, beyond one hour from your originally scheduled arrival time. In case of a delay, whether due to flight delay, immigration, and customs, or time spent reporting baggage damage or loss, it will be your responsibility to make other transfer arrangements such as a taxi. Transfer costs are not refundable, and any additional expenses will be your responsibility. The cost of a transfer is more expensive than hiring a taxi, as a Voyages Hub transfer necessarily includes round trip service, or ‘dead-leg’, meaning that our driver must come to the airport, hotel, or pier only to pick you up and necessarily loses a one-way fare. Often the places of call (airports, seaports, hotels) demand entrance and parking fees, where drivers may have to wait for up to an hour. Voyages Hub transfer drivers, while not employees of Voyages Hub, are reliable and work year-round for Voyages Hub clients. They provide you with a full welcome service, transfer you to the correct location, and are prepared to answer your questions along your ride. Passengers comfortable hiring a taxi on their own and do not require assistance will save money.

OPTIONAL TOURS, EXCURSIONS, AND ACTIVITIES 

Any optional tour or physical activity you undertake at the destination contains a risk of personal injury, loss, or damage to you and/or your personal possessions. You agree as part of your agreement with Voyages Hub to assume the entire risk of any and all such injury, loss, or damage which you may suffer during or arising out of your participation in any optional tour or physical activity, however, it may be caused. Voyages Hub makes arrangements with independent third parties to provide services in connection with the optional tours and physical activities. Voyages Hub exercises great care in choosing these independent third parties but does not have control over them and, therefore, is not responsible for, nor can be held liable for, any acts or omissions or negligence of these independent third parties, their employees, servants, agents, or subcontractors. These independent third parties are not agents or employees of Voyages Hub despite their use of any signage or clothing which may contain the name “Voyages Hub" or other related trade names or logos. The optional tours and physical activities are subject to conditions and limitations imposed by independent third parties and the laws of the country in which they operate. You agree as part of your agreement with Voyages Hub to release, discharge, and indemnify Voyages Hub from any and all liability or claims of any nature arising out of or in relation to any loss, damage, injury, or illness whether physical or mental, resulting from any delay, substitution of equipment, or any act, omission or negligence of the independent third parties, their employees, servants, agents, and subcontractors resulting from or arising out of any of the optional tours or physical activities. Before participating in any optional tour or physical activity you may be required to sign a written release forever releasing, discharging, and indemnifying Voyages Hub from any and all claims of any nature arising out of or related to any such optional tours or physical activity

Seat Rotation

Seats are rotated onboard the coach for all Voyages Hub tours under the direction of the tour manager. So that we do not show partiality among passengers, exceptions cannot be made.

Maps and Photos

Maps shown on tour pages are current at the time of printing and may not reflect actual tour routing should the tour change. Photos shown on tour pages are reflective of the area(s) visited but may not be included in the actual tour itinerary and the conditions you experience may be different than depicted in the photograph(s).

Baggage Disclaimer

Although every effort is made to handle passengers’ luggage as carefully as possible, Voyages Hub is not responsible for and does not assume liability or accept claims for loss of or damage to luggage due to breakage, theft or wear and tear through airline/airport, hotel, and group carrier handling. It is recommended for your own self-interest and protection that you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities. Check with your sales agent for low-cost insurance to cover these risks. Voyages Hub is not responsible for submitting your insurance claim.

There are limitations by coach and air carrier as to the number and size of bags that can be carried onboard and in bulk storage. Be sure to ask your travel professional about such restrictions before departing for your tour.

Checked Baggage Charges: Some airlines impose additional charges if you choose to check baggage. Please contact your airline or refer to its website for detailed information regarding your airline’s checked baggage policies. Please be advised baggage fees may apply on most trans-border flights. This is a fee levied by the airlines, not Voyages Hub, and may be subject to change.

ASSISTANCE WHILE ON YOUR VACATION 

Our Voyages Hub representatives are stationed in most destinations to offer assistance and liaise with the service providers to resolve any problems during your stay. Any problem must be brought to the service provider’s attention or the Voyages Hub Representative’s attention immediately so that they can work to ensure that you have an enjoyable holiday. It is very important that you bring any problem to the service provider’s attention immediately so that it has the opportunity to rectify the problem. Please note that your failure to report your concerns may preclude your right to a claim.

Local Laws
