No refunds will be issued for cancellations made within 60 days of departure unless the participant’s airline and/or hotel space is resold. If space is resold, participant will receive a full refund, less a $100 cancellation fee plus any airline name change fees that result from the resale of participant’s airline ticket. No refunds will be issued for unused ground transportation or for other services provided and not used by the participant.

LAND-ONLY PACKAGES

Land-only packages may be purchased by those wishing to travel on their own. Packages include all items listed as “air package features,” exclusive of air transportation, airport/hotel transfers and airport baggage handling.

SPECIAL CHILDREN'S PRICING

Children’s rates are limited to those 17 years of age or under sharing a room with at least one adult and using existing bedding configuration i.e. (if 2 adults and a child/children occupy a room, the adults will be charged the double price and the children the child’s price. If the room is occupied by 1 adult and a child/children, the adult will be charged the single price and the children the child’s price.) Roll-aways will incur extra charges. Requests for roll-aways are subject to availability and differing fire and safety laws.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

Trip cancellation, baggage loss, health and accident insurance is available upon request to protect participants against unforeseen circumstances that may cause interruption or cancellation of trip as well as loss of property. Because neither Champion Sports Tours nor Collegiate Athletic Travel is responsible for losses due to trip cancellation by participant (see following) and/or loss of luggage, we strongly recommend the purchase of appropriate insurance coverage.
