THE FINE PRINT

Natural phenomena are not made to order. We take our time, know the area well, and are very flexible. Despite all preparations and our commitment, we cannot guarantee that you will see the Northern Lights during our tours.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Up to seven (7) days prior to the departure time of the tour, the participant can cancel his/ her reservation any time and full refund will be given, minus 3% of the amount paid, which will be kept by the tour provider to cover the payment transaction costs.

From seven (7) days until 24 hours prior to the departure time: 20% cancellation fee of the total cost apply.

From 24 hours prior to the departure time as well as in case the participant does not show up at the beginning of the tour, no refund will be given.

All this tour provider’s tours are adjusted to cruise ship arrival and departure times; if the ship of the participant is delayed, we adjust the departure time accordingly.

In case the participant's ship cannot make port, we retain 10% of the total tour cost to cover a part of our operational cost. Occasionally, a ship cannot make port due to unfavorable weather in the North. To give you an idea: in our 2018 season this happened twice, in winter 2023 once and in our last seasons (2019 and 2022) this did not happen at all; out of about 100 calls each season.

The tour provider has no control over the exchange rate that will be calculated for refunds to credit cards and is not responsible for any loss incurred. Please note that refunds by international money transfers may result in additional costs, such as bank fees. These costs are the responsibility of the participant/ client.

Changes of departure dates are only possible by canceling the reserved services and rebooking afterward.

If the participant does not show up at the beginning of the tour, misses a connection or is held incapable to continue the tour, this counts as a cancellation.

The tour provider reserves the right to cancel any trip because of inadequate enrollment that makes the trip economically unfeasible to operate or because of good-faith concerns with respect to the safety, health, or welfare of the participants. If the tour provider cancels a tour prior to departure, you will receive a full refund of monies paid to the tour provider. If we cancel the trip in progress, you will receive a pro-rated refund based on time and activities not completed on the excursion. We will not be responsible for any refund for any airline and/ or cruise ship costs.

Leaving an excursion in progress, for any reason whatsoever, will not result in a refund, and no refunds will be made for any unused portions of an excursion.

Trip cancellation insurance is strongly recommended and advised.

Magic Tromsø will not be held liable for any last-minute cancellation/change made by the tour provider. For cancellation and change requests, please contact the company directly. Details are provided in the confirmation email.

The 7 days cancellation policy doesn't apply unless the provider is contacted directly.
