What to Expect: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Participants must be fit and in good health. Travelers will
be required to submit a physical evaluation from their doctor six
months prior to the trip.
Travelers must be aware that all activities, including
flights to, from, and within Antarctica are dependent on weather
and local conditions.
Weather conditions in Antarctica may delay our departure from
Punta Arenas on November 16, possibly by more than a day. In
this event, expedition members will be on standby until conditions
are safe for flying. If delays extend past seven nights,
additional hotel and meal expenses are the responsibility of
expedition members.
Likewise, poor weather conditions could extend our stay on
the ice, thus delaying our return home. There will be no
additional expense to travelers for additional days at Eclipse 1
base camp.
Should either of these scenarios occur, it will be the
expedition manager's final decision whether extra days will or
will not be added to the trip. It is important that
expedition members obtain "changeable" air tickets. Call

Visa or Discover.
A second advance payment of US$17,000 per person, payable by check
or wire transfer only,
is due February 13, 2003. Final payment, payable by check only, is due

reserve the right to cancel your booking and withhold return of all
payments received, unless a change in your payment schedule has been
agreed in writing by TravelQuest.
All
advance payments are fully refundable, less a US$2500 per person

TravelQuest by February 13, 2003. From February 14 through July 12,
2003, there will be a US$6500 per person cancellation fee. After July

who do not complete the tour for any reason at all. We reserve the right

refunded without penalty or handling fee or further obligation to the
traveler.
A $1
million international emergency medical and evacuation coverage policy
for the duration of the expedition is included in the cost of this
expedition. Trip cancellation insurance is not included. Given the great
distances you will be traveling and the cost of this tour, we highly
recommend travelers obtain this coverage. An insurance application form
will be sent upon receipt of your initial payment.

Optional trip cancellation/medical insurance is highly recommended.
