- Cash payment upon booking, unless otherwise specified at the time of order.
- Accepted payment methods include credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), bank transfers and certain secure online payment platforms.

- More than 60 days before departure: refund of 80% of the total amount.
- Between 59 and 30 days before departure: 50% refund.

Certain special offers or promotions may be non-refundable; this information is clearly indicated at the time of booking.
The Company reserves the right to cancel or modify a trip due to exceptional circumstances (force majeure, strikes, extreme weather conditions, technical failures, security or regulatory obligations, etc.).
In this case, the Company will offer, where possible, an equivalent alternative or proceed with full refund of amounts paid, without further compensation.
The rates displayed on the website or commercial materials are indicated in euros, all taxes included, unless otherwise stated. They include the services specified in the trip description (transport, meals, onboard services, etc.), but exclude personal expenses, insurance, and additional fees not provided for in the contract.
The Company reserves the right to modify its prices at any time, particularly in case of changes in taxation, exchange rates, or fuel costs. The rate applicable to the Client is the one in effect at the time of booking validation.
It is the Client's responsibility to ensure they have all necessary documents to make their trip (valid identity document, visa, parental authorization if applicable). The Company declines all responsibility in case of boarding refusal due to administrative non-compliance.

- a third party external to the provision of services;
- an event of force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances.
The Company's liability is in any case limited to the total amount of the purchased service.
