Cancellation at short notice: If you need to cancel at short notice (72 hours or less before arrival), you must email AND call us as soon as possible. Your email should be sent to info[at]traveo.is (please do not email your personal Travel Advisor). You must then also confirm your cancellation verbally with a Traveo employee by calling our main customer service phone number. If outside of office hours, you will be told our emergency number by our customer service’s voicemail message: you must call that instead to confirm cancellation verbally.

Force Majeur: If the package is cancelled by you or us due to Force Majeur, you will pay no cancellation fees, and no extra compensation will be paid. Force Majeur may include but are not limited to, warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of severe disease at the travel destination, or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the tour destination. Further information about Force Majeur can be found here: EU Package Travel Directive.

Rights of cancellation: We reserve the right to cancel confirmed bookings at any time. Exercise of this right could occur, for example, if minimum participation in a tour is not reached, if we are prevented from delivering the contracted services because of unavoidable and Force Majeur, or if the booking party fails to pay the final balance in full.

If a third party operated Multi-Day tour is cancelled due to weather, Traveo is under no obligation to find or pay for accommodation on any cancelled nights. Should the operator himself be unable to assist, Traveo staff will be happy to help if assistance is requested.

Please be advised that the cancellation fees for certain travel packages and services may be different, in which case the cancellation terms and fees are outlined on the tour package page.

All booking change requests must be made via email by the person who submitted the original booking request.

Changing the number of people in a booking to a smaller number is considered cancellation for the change in number of participants.

Packages: 

For multi-day tours and packages, all requests for changes must be made minimum 7 days in advance. Please note that we might not be able to fulfil your changed requirements due to lack of availability, though we will always do our best, and do offer alternative options.

Depending on how far in advance a tour package has been booked and when changes to a booking are requested, an administrative fee of 5000 ISK may be charged each day/night of the itinerary that is modified. Additional supplier costs may still apply depending on the changes requested.

For bookings made within 60 days of arrival, changes can be made without incurring the administrative fee until services have been confirmed and the travel documents have been issued. However, for bookings made 30 days or less before arrival, the administrative fee and any applicable supplier fees may be charged due to the short processing time.

Day tours and activities: 

Day tours and activities booked on the Traveo.is that are serviced by independent operators can be changed up to 24 hours before departure.

Transfer of bookings: 

A booking may be transferred from one party to another, provided that the new party satisfies all the conditions applicable, upholds the terms and conditions of the booking and notifies us about the transfer no less than 7 days before departure. An administrative fee of 5000 ISK will be charged for the transfer, and both parties must assume joint liability for this fee and any other costs that may be incurred by changes to the booking.

Non-transferable services:

Please note that certain services may not be changed or transferred after they have been confirmed, and any alteration may incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the services. We reserve the right to increase or change the administrative fees referred to above at any time.

Booking changes made by us:

Occasionally, Traveo may have to make changes to your booking, and we reserve the right to do so at any time. In this unlikely event, you will be notified of the proposed changes without delay. If the changes are significant, such as alterations to a large part of the tour, or price increases exceeding 8% of the total cost, you will have the option to:

  • accept the changes,
  • accept an alternative tour (if available and offered by us),
  • or get a refund.

You will have a period of 14 days to accept or reject the changes. Please read any notification of changes carefully. If you don’t respond within the time frame given, your booking may be cancelled.

Should you accept an alternative tour (option b, above) and the new tour is of a lower value, we will refund you the price difference.

Should you reject the changes, you may cancel your tour, and you will be entitled to a full refund (option c, above). If these changes were made because of unavoidable or extraordinary circumstances, you will not be entitled to other compensation.

Parties travelling together: 

Should two parties wish to book separately but travel together, they should inform travel agents of this prior to booking. If a co-travel request is sent after the booking process has been finished, the change to a package is counted as a tailoring and is subject to a 5000 isk service fee.
