CANCELLATION, REFUNDS & TRANSFER FEES
Deposits are refundable, less a $250 per person cancellation fee, until 60 days prior to departure. Less than 60 days prior to departure, no refunds can be made (including, but not limited to, additional components such as hotel nights, airfare and optional tours). “Name changes” are considered a cancellation and applicable fees and / or penalties apply. GrandLuxe Rail highly recommends travel protection for its passengers. (Purchased Travel Protection premiums are non-refundable.) GrandLuxe Rail has many contractual and financial commitments with hotel properties, transport operators, guiding services and restaurants. Due to these commitments and the costly charges that result from cancellations and / or transfers from passengers, the full cancellation penalty will apply regardless of the reason, or whether the booking is transferred to another tour departure. Cancellation and applicable penalty will be based on the date that the notice is received in the GrandLuxe Rail office.

CANCELLATION BY GRANDLUXE RAIL
If a journey is canceled by GrandLuxe Rail because of extraordinary conditions, all monies paid to GrandLuxe Rail will be refunded in full. GrandLuxe Rail cannot accept responsibility for any other expenses incurred in preparing for the journey, including non-refundable airline tickets not purchased through GrandLuxe Rail.

TRAVEL PROTECTION
GrandLuxe Rail understands the value of your vacation investment and strongly recommends the purchase of travel protection to safeguard and enhance your experience. The GrandLuxe Rail Travel Protection Plan provides benefits for Trip Cancellation and Interruption, Travel Delay, Medical Expenses, Baggage Loss, Baggage Delay, Emergency Medical Evacuation and 24 hour travel assistance services. You will receive a full description of benefits, terms and conditions with your Preliminary Documents Package. Please review this document carefully. If you purchase the plan within 7 days of your initial trip deposit, and are medically able to travel on the date of your purchase, the Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion will be waived. We add the cost of this plan in your initial reservation. Simply pay the total to participate. If the Travel Protection is not paid with deposit, it will be removed from your reservation. However, you may purchase the Travel Protection at any time, but the pre-existing waiver is not valid. (Purchased Travel Protection premiums are non-refundable.)

Please advise us of any special medical or dietary conditions.

GrandLuxe Rail acts as an agent only with respect to these optional services; it does not control or operate and is not responsible for actions of the operators providing the services.

Passengers should carefully read and understand the terms and conditions of the optional services provided by the independent contractors.

EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES:
In the event of an act of God, war (declared or undeclared), terrorism, accident, natural disaster, outbreak of disease, or other event circumstances beyond our control that contributes to or results in cancellation rates above our historical cancellation rates in the absence of such event or occurrence, GrandLuxe Rail reserves the right to issue a credit to you in lieu of a money-back refund, applicable to a future GrandLuxe Rail journey.

RESPONSIBILITY
GrandLuxe Rail and its affiliates act only as an agent for the passenger with respect to transportation and hotels, and exercise every care possible. However, we can assume no liability for injury, damage, delay, loss, accident or irregularity in connection with the services of any airplane, ship, motorcoach, train or other conveyance used in carrying out the arrangements of the tour. We cannot accept responsibility for losses or additional expenses due to delay or changes in air or other services, sickness, weather, strike, war, quarantine, acts of God, or other causes beyond our control. All such losses or expenses will have to be borne by the passenger, as tour rates provide for arrangements only for the time stated. We reserve the right to make alterations to this published itinerary. GrandLuxe Rail reserves the right to cancel the tour prior to departure, in which case the entire payment will be refunded without further obligation on our part. The right is also reserved to decline to accept or to decline to retain any person as a member of the tour. No refund will be made for the unused portion of any tour. The price of the program is based on tariffs and rates in effect in April 2006 and is subject to change. Any tariff, exchange rate or fuel surcharge will be passed on to the participants.
