Cancellations
We hope nothing will come between you and your IWOT vacation. Should you need to cancel your booking or any portion of it, your cancellation must be in writing and will be effective on the date of receipt. Cancellations can be sent via email at Reservations@iworldoftravel.com.  These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that might be levied by your travel agent. There is no refund for unused services or for unused portions of the trip.

Cancellation Windows

Credits

For credits issued due to cancellations inside the applicable timeframe, the following applies:

• Credit is good for 9 months from the date of written cancellation, and thereafter, expired.
• Any new booking will require a new payment/deposit and the credit will be added to final payment.
• Rates for new bookings are not guaranteed until receipt of the new deposit.

Itinerary Changes

You can count on the value of IWOT’s experience and regional knowledge to make sure you enjoy your cruise/tour even when conditions beyond our control occur. The very nature of sea voyages means that there will be times when weather or other conditions in a region will require IWOT to adjust or modify an itinerary. Although every effort will be made to keep itineraries, vessels, and hotels as they are shown in the brochure, IWOT reserves the right to substitute itineraries, hotels, or vessels. In such cases, we will do everything we can to make sure the locations visited, the excursions, hotels or vessels offered are similar to our initial itinerary inclusions. Any changes to itineraries will not result in eligibility for a refund. Itineraries are subject to change without notice and may need to be altered specifically because of weather, wind factors, or other conditions. Guests who choose to cancel or interrupt their cruise or cruise/tour due to an itinerary change will be subject to our standard Cancellation Policy.

Advanced, Cancelled, or Delayed Sailing
IWOT reserves the right to cancel, advance, postpone or modify scheduled departure, return or itinerary dates, as well as locations, events, and schedules, and may, but is not obligated to, substitute, vary, alter, reschedule, cancel and/or relocate any accommodations, vessels, modes of transportation and other aspects of the vacation. IWOT is authorized to take these actions due to causes or circumstances of any kind or nature beyond IWOT’s control or causes or circumstances within IWOT’s control that IWOT deems to make such actions appropriate. IWOT will not be liable for cancellation, delay, rescheduling, or other adjustment or impact to a departure or itinerary, or other aspects of the vacation brought about due to force majeure or other circumstances beyond its control that prevent or interfere with any aspect of the cruise/tour, also including governmental and administrative actions. The company’s only liability will be to provide Passengers the amount it has received for the Contract in the form of a Future Travel Credit or at IWOT’s discretion a refund of monies paid to IWOT in connection with such cruise/tour. IWOT is not responsible for other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations or changes and is not liable for any cancellation or change costs or penalties incurred on other travel arrangements, including air tickets.

Stateroom Changes
If due to unexpected technical or other unforeseen circumstances, it becomes necessary to change a guest’s stateroom onboard, any change to stateroom category will result in eligibility for a refund equal to the fare difference between the category booked and the category of relocation.

Extensions/Land Tours
IWOT reserves the right to reschedule and/or cancel land extensions or land tours if the minimum number of participants (10 people) is not met or for safety reasons. If you, as the Passenger, choose to cancel your pre- or post-cruise extension one hundred and twenty (120) days or less before departure, then please refer to the Cancellation Policy section for the applicable cancellation policy and penalties that will be applied.

Travel Documents
All travelers must have a passport valid for at least 6 months after the date of return.
Optional insurance must be purchased within 7 days of deposit to ensure that the pre-existing condition waiver applies. We therefore recommend that the insurance be purchased while the deposit is made. Insurance premiums are non-refundable, non-transferable and may not be purchased after final payment is made.

Travel Insurance Recommendation
We strongly encourage you to purchase travel protection when traveling. Should you choose to travel with IWOT without travel insurance coverage you acknowledge your agreement to take full responsibility for all expenses (trip interruption, trip delay, medical expenses, quarantine expenses and emergency evacuation/repatriation, any reason, etc.) that may arise while traveling.

Visa Requirements
For visa requirements, please consult with the respective Consulate Offices. Visa requirements are subject to change. For US Passport holders, please check the current requirements for your destination(s) at the following link: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html
