Cancellation Policy

All cancellation fees held by Arctic Adventures are only intended to cover our direct cost of amending and/or canceling your reservation. By accessing, browsing, using and/or completing a reservation through our (mobile) website you acknowledge and agree to have read, understood and agreed to be legally bound to the cancellation policy as set out below. No contract between the customer and Arctic Adventures shall come into existence until Arctic Adventures receives full payment and issues a confirmation invoice. The customer making the booking accepts these conditions on behalf of all members of their travel party and is responsible for payment due from the party in entirety.

All communications relating to these terms and conditions (in particular any requests to cancel or amend your tour arrangements) must be from the lead traveler of each reservation and processed through the My Adventures portal where travelers can manage their bookings. If the customer portal is inaccessible, all cancellations must be delivered in writing via the customer contact form and sent by the lead traveler. Once delivered the amendment and/or cancellation needs to be confirmed by Arctic Adventures before further action can be taken. If reimbursement is in order, then it shall be made in accordance with all procedures and processed as quickly as possible, and the stipulated amount will be transferred to the same credit card that was used upon booking. Please note that we can not be responsible for delays of the delivery of the reimbursement to your account once it has been processed on our end. For tours purchased through another vendor please reach out to the vendor directly with your refund and/or cancellation request. The cancellation policy applies to the original booking departure date the tour has been booked for.

Changing the number of people in a booking to a smaller number is considered cancellation for the change in number of participants. Such cancellations are subject to cancellation fees as per the below.

 As we start to incur costs from the time the contract is confirmed we will apply cancellation charges as shown below from the time when written notification of the cancellation is received:

More than 24 hours’ notice	Full refund*

For the 24-hour policy to be applicable cancellations need to be made and delivered to Arctic Adventures through the My Adventures portal. The 24-hour policy does not honor cancellation requests sent through other channels. If the customer portal is inaccessible, all cancellations must be delivered in writing via the customer contact form and sent by the lead traveler.
