These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between the traveler (the "Participant") and VoyageTimes Limited (the "Company"). By completing a booking, the Participant expressly acknowledges that they have read, understood, and unconditionally accepted these Terms in their entirety.
1. BOOKING PROCESS & PAYMENT TERMS
1.1 Booking Confirmation
A booking shall only be deemed valid, confirmed, and legally binding upon the satisfaction of all the following conditions:
-
Receipt and successful processing of the required deposit by the Company.
-
Issuance of an official written Booking Confirmation by the Company.
-
Unconditional acceptance of these Terms by the Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, completing a booking or participating in the tour constitutes conclusive evidence of the Participant's full acceptance of these Terms.
1.2 Deposit
A non-refundable deposit per person is required at the time of booking to secure a reservation.
1.3 Final Payment
The total balance of the travel package price must be paid in full at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled departure date.
1.4 Non-Payment and Default
Failure to remit full payment by the designated due date shall entitle the Company, at its sole discretion and without prejudice to any other remedies, to:
-
Cancel the booking immediately without prior notice.
-
Assess and enforce cancellation fees in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
1.5 Booking Amendments by the Participant
Any request by the Participant for modifications to a confirmed booking (including, but not limited to, changes in dates, participant names, or total number of travelers) must be submitted to the Company in writing. All amendments are subject to availability, supplier policies, and may incur administrative fees as well as any additional costs imposed by third-party providers.
1.6 Price Adjustments
The Company reserves the right to adjust the total tour price at any time prior to final payment to account for fluctuations in fuel costs, taxes or fees imposed by third parties (such as tourist taxes or landing fees), foreign exchange rates, or any other external economic factors directly impacting the cost of the travel services.
2. CANCELLATIONS & REFUND POLICY
2.1 Cancellation by the Participant
The Participant may cancel their booking at any time by providing written notice to the Company. Refunds shall be processed strictly subject to the following timelines:
-
Thirty (30) Days or More Prior to Departure: The Participant shall be entitled to a refund of monies paid, less any sums already committed, spent, or retained by the Company for non-refundable pre-bookings, operational expenses, or third-party deposits. The final refundable amount shall be determined at the sole and absolute discretion of the Company, taking into account hotel/transportation cancellation policies, local vendor terms, activity deposits, visa fees, and travel insurance premiums (which are strictly non-refundable). The Company is under no legal obligation to provide receipts, invoices, or itemized breakdowns of these unrecoverable costs to the Participant.
-
Fewer than Thirty (30) Days Prior to Departure: No refunds shall be issued under any circumstances.
Resale Provision: In the event that a canceling Participant’s vacancy is successfully filled by another paying traveler, the Company may, at its sole discretion, elect to increase the refund amount awarded to the canceling Participant, though it is under no legal obligation to do so.
2.2 Cancellation by the Company
The Company reserves the right to cancel any scheduled tour prior to departure due to:
-
Force Majeure: Including, but not limited to, natural disasters, acts of God, strikes, labor disputes, civil unrest, political instability, government restrictions, epidemics, pandemics, border closures, or acts of terrorism.
-
Supplier Default: The inability of local vendors (hotels, transport providers, activity operators) to safely or effectively execute the contracted services.
In the event of cancellation by the Company, the Participant shall receive a refund strictly limited to the amounts successfully recovered by the Company from its third-party suppliers. The Company shall not be liable to refund visa fees, travel insurance premiums, flights or transport booked independently by the Participant, or any other personal expenses incurred in anticipation of the trip.
2.3 Force Majeure & Limitation of Liability
The Company reserves the right to modify, curtail, or cancel any tour due to unforeseeable, unavoidable, or extraordinary circumstances. In such cases, the Company’s liability is strictly confined to the refund provisions outlined in Clause 2.2, and no additional compensation, damages, or indemnity for loss of enjoyment shall be payable.
2.4 Liability for Third-Party Supplier Defaults
The Company acts solely as an intermediary between the Participant and independent third-party service providers. The Company shall not be held liable for the refusal or failure of any third-party supplier to issue refunds in the event of cancellation, modification, or Force Majeure. The Participant explicitly accepts that the Company’s refund capacity is strictly contingent upon, and limited to, the funds actually recovered from its suppliers.
3. ITINERARY ALTERATIONS
Tour itineraries are subject to change without prior notice. The Company reserves the right to alter routes, accommodation, activities, or transportation methods due to adverse weather conditions, traffic delays, directives from local authorities, safety concerns, or any other unforeseen logistical constraints. Wherever practicable, the Company will endeavor to substitute services with equivalents of a comparable standard. No financial compensation or refunds shall be granted for adjustments made to safeguard the participants or ensure the smooth operation of the tour.
4. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS & VISAS

-
Advertised rates are calculated based on double/twin room occupancy. A single supplement fee shall apply to Participants requesting individual rooms.

-
Daily breakfast is included in the package price, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the specific tour itinerary description.
8. TRANSPORTATION & LOCAL SERVICES
The Company coordinates transportation and logistical support in accordance with the official tour itinerary, utilizing a variety of methods including private vehicles, coaches, ferries, trains, or domestic flights. The provision of a dedicated tour leader, guide, or driver (whether English-speaking, Greek-speaking, or bilingual) is dependent on the specific tour package and will be explicitly detailed in the respective tour description.
The Company shall not be held liable for schedule disruptions, service breakdowns, delays, or operational failures originating from independent third-party transport operators.
9. INCLUSIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
The precise scope of accommodations, meals, transport, excursions, and activities included in the purchase price is restricted solely to the items explicitly listed as "Included" within the official tour itinerary provided to the Participant. Any item or service not explicitly enumerated therein is excluded and shall be deemed an ancillary expense to be borne by the Participant. The official itinerary constitutes an integral and inseparable part of these Terms.
10. COMPREHENSIVE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, its directors, employees, and agents shall not be held liable for:
-
Loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings, baggage, or documentation.
-
Personal injury, illness, psychological trauma, or death, unless directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company.

The Company reserves the absolute right to immediately expel any Participant from the tour whose conduct is deemed disruptive, dangerous, or detrimental to the well-being of the group. In the event of such expulsion, no refunds shall be issued, and all costs associated with return travel and accommodation shall be the sole responsibility of the expelled Participant.
12. DATA PROTECTION & GDPR COMPLIANCE
The Company collects, processes, and stores personal data strictly in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Cypriot data protection laws. Data collection is restricted to information necessary for securing bookings, executing travel services, and complying with statutory legal obligations.
