Cancellation policy

Cancellation by Us

In case of force majeure GreenEscape Oy has the right to cancel the reservation. In this case the client has a right to be refunded to the full. The reservation can be cancelled without a notification to the client if payments or deadlines are not met. Our escorted group holidays require a minimum number of participants to be executed and if the minimum number of bookings have not been met, we reserve the rights to cancel it. In this case, we will notify you of cancellation at least 60 days prior to your departure and your deposit will be refunded in full.

We reserve the right to cancel and modify allotment if needed. Allotments are not transferable for resale without any prior agreements. We reserve the right for changes in timetables and the order of the programs. All programs can also be varied or cancelled due to the weather or other safety reasons. Any significant changes (such as accommodation arrangements) made in the itinerary after confirmation will be discussed thoroughly with the customer and necessary alternatives will be given. We reserve the right to cut short the trip or cancel the booking if there is a situation where we feel that the physical condition or behaviour of a client may affect their own well-being, or the rest of the group and other crew members, while on a tour. In this case, refund conditions do not apply.

Cancellation by You

Any notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is received in writing by us. The cancellation charges are as follows

• 90 days before arrival - free of charge
• 90 to 60 days before arrival – cancellation cost would be 30% of the tour cost
• 30 to 60 days before arrival – cancellation cost 50% of the tour cost
• Less than 30 days before arrival or no show - cancellation cost 100% of the rate

Personal travel insurance is always highly recommended. Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned.

On group bookings, if already a price has been agreed as per a definite group size, any cancellation thereafter reducing the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price and other concessions and booking details have been agreed, we shall be entitled to recalculate the trip cost and re-invoice you accordingly. There are certain itineraries and trip components (such as concert tickets, cruises etc.) which may require even earlier advance payment and may result in 100% loss upon cancellation, the details of which will be specified on your invoice and quotation.

If a rare and unforeseen case of force majeure or similar event (including but not limited to war, strike, political unrest, weather, fire, break-in, criminal damage, sickness, epidemic, other natural conditions beyond our control.) occur, neither party shall be held liable for any default, damage or loss in case one party is unable to operate normally. If a force majeure event does occur, it will lead to suspension of execution of reciprocal obligations for the parties as per the package contract and that each party shall pay the expenses resulting therefrom. The party shall immediately notify the other party in writing and shall keep the other party fully informed about the development of the force majeure event and its consequences on the itinerary. During this event, both parties shall take all necessary steps to minimize the effects of the force majeure event on the performance of their obligations as per the travel package obligations. The company cannot accept responsibility or pay any compensation for events instigated by circumstances which amount to “force majeure”.
