The following terms and conditions “Terms” apply to all travel products and services purchased. Please review these terms in detail as by purchasing any travel product or service you are bound by the terms outlined in this agreement.

1. Refund & Cancellation Policy: You have 24 hours from the time of booking to cancel a trip for a full refund. ALL REFUNDS ARE SUBJECT TO A 3.5% PROCESSING FEE. In other words, if you request a refund for a payment or a deposit, your refund will be minus a 3.5% processing fee. After 24 hours, the trip deposit – and all future payments – are non-refundable. Our contracts with our suppliers are competitive and do not allow refunds and this is how we can offer affordable monthly payments on our trip packages. We highly recommend you purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes trip cancellation coverage within 3 days after booking that includes a “Cancel for Any Reason” option to cover your non-refundable trip. Trip cancellation insurance is the only means of receiving reimbursement for flights and other non-refundable expenses should you cancel your trip for any reason.

2. Payment Plans: As a courtesy, we offer payment plans for our trips. Your monthly payments start the following month after booking on the same day you paid your deposit. You may contact us to modify your payment dates or plan.

3. Missed Payments: Once you miss two monthly payments, your trip is subject to cancellation. Once your trip is canceled, you will be notified via your email on file and we will also call you. You may reinstate your trip within 14 calendar days of cancellation by paying the full amount past due and a $200 reinstatement fee.

4. Final Payment Date: Trips must be paid in full Thirty (30) days before the trip. If full payment is not received by that date, Soul Journey reserves the right to cancel the trip.

8. Transferring To A Private Trip: You may cancel a group trip and turn it into a trip credit that can be applied to a Private Trip.

Any changes in occupancy done post-booking will be done at the current pricing available.

10.

Payment of the single occupancy supplement is due within 30 days of departure.
