Reservation Deposit and Final Payment [top]
For all tours, payment of your initial deposit does not guarantee the price of your trip. Effective for reservations made on or after July 1, 2008,
participation in our SmartPay Discount Plan can save you up to 10% on your Vantage trip AND ensures that the land, cruise, and international airfare
portions of your trip will not increase. This includes 100% guaranteed protection against ALL additional taxes, fuel surcharges, and currency fluctuations,
from the moment you pay in full under the terms of Vantage’s SmartPay Discount Plan. If you do not participate in our SmartPay Discount Plan, all prices
are subject to change. Final payments are due 90-120 days prior to departure, depending upon the program.
Cancellation Refunds [top]
Vantage realizes that most people who cancel their reservations do so out of
real necessity. Nevertheless, there is a non-refundable administrative fee of
$150 per person for each program you cancel. This low fee covers only our costs
of reservation maintenance or cancellation.
Payments made to your credit card will be refunded as a credit to that card.
Payments made by check will be refunded by check. Please allow 30 days for
refunds to be manually verified and processed by our accounting department.
Please refer to the Tour Participation Agreement for your program's
cancellation fee schedule.
Travel Protection Plan Confirmation Number [top]
Payment for the Travel Protection Plan is reflected on your Vantage invoice
receipt. No confirmation number is necessary. Your coverage is described in the
leaflet that is included with your first invoice. You can also read about
Vantage Travel Protection by clicking here.
Vantage Credit Voucher Deductions [top]
Vantage credit vouchers should be mailed in with final payment, once your first
invoice has been received. Any overpayment that results from the credit voucher
will be refunded to you, if applicable.
