bookings for services that are not directly supplied by this agency.
All arrangements for transport, accommodation and services are
made upon the express condition that Discover Alaska and any
sponsoring organization shall not be liable for any direct, indirect,
consequential, or incidental damage, injury, loss, accident, delay,
or irregularity of any kind occasioned by reason of any act or
omission beyond its control, including without limitation, any act of
negligence or breach of contract of any third party such as airlines,
cruise lines, bus companies, tour operators, facilities, guest
speakers, trains, hotels, restaurants, ground handlers, etc. who
is to or does supply any goods or services for the tour. Discover

beyond its control. Rates and Itinerary shown on any form of

Holland America.
PAYMENT & CANCELLATIONS:
Payment in full must be received at least 90 days prior to
departure. We reserve the right to treat a booking as cancelled
if the balance is not paid on time. There is a $250.00 non-

regardless of insurance program purchased. In addition,
cancellations are subject to penalties established by the cruise
lines, airlines, hotels, etc. Please note: All cancellations must
be made in writing to Discover Alaska. Cancellation insurance
is highly recommended. Cancellation insurance may not cover
the entire cruise and land package. Currently Holland America
cancellation penalties are as follows: cancellations made 90
to 57 days prior to departure incur charges equal to deposit
requirement, 56 to 29 days a 50% penalty, 28 to 16 days a 75%
penalty, a 100% penalty of gross fare (no refund) is given to
cancellations made 15 days or less (including no shows)
prior to the departure.
The cancellation policy of the cruise line may be subject to change.
Discover Alaska is not responsible for any losses or additional
losses that the traveler may sustain due to changes in policy.
Please note that a cruise line's specific refund may only be based
on the cruise fare and not the entire cruise/tour package paid
by you and supplied by Discover Alaska. As such, there are no
refunds above and beyond the refunds paid by the cruise line,
and traveler hereby expressly waives same. If you wish to change
any details of your booking, we will do our best to help you. In
such cases, a change fee of up to $100.00 per person may apply.
