Solitaree’s Changes & Refund policy

Cancellation requests must be submitted to us in writing — by e-mail is fine.

We regret that we are unable to issue a full refund for cancellations, because cancellation fee generally depends on the length of notice, type of booking and refund policies of our local providers refund policy. Unfortunately they vary tremendously and we cannot offer a definite one fit all answer as the itineraries are tailor made.

For more information, please contact us

Payment Conditions

Our financial conditions to secure seats are:

  • 50% deposit on booking;
  • balance of 50% is required 90 days before departure.

Refunds

In case you purchase an itinerary through another travel agent ( Third Party Travel Provider):

  • Solitaree will not provide you with a refund for the purchased itinerary if the itinerary is not used. Please refer to your travel agent.
  • Refunds for itineraries are subject to the terms and conditions that you agreed with the Third Party Travel Provider, not Solitaree.
  • If the Third Party Travel Provider is required to provide you with a refund for the Itinerary, you will receive a refund subject to their terms and conditions including the application of any cancellation fees.

In case you purchase an itinerary through Solitaree directly:

  • Our Cancellation Policy below will apply (unless specifically mentioned in your contract).
