You, or any member of your group, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time before your arrival. Our cancellation terms may vary slightly by destination and type of booking. You will find information regarding terms in section 4, Payment & Cancellation Terms.

Cancellation Protection

Nordic Visitor offers an optional Cancellation Protection on selected tours in most destinations. With this protection, your payments with Nordic Visitor are protected should you need to cancel or postpone your trip. The Cancellation Protection terms override the general cancellation terms presented here.

All rates quoted or shown in our tariffs are based on current prices and are subject to change on our website without notice. After the final invoice has been issued, the price of a booking is guaranteed against surcharges unless these are due to an increase in the cost of fuel and other power sources, government taxes and fees, and currency fluctuations relevant to your booking. Nordic Visitor will do its utmost to ensure that you will not be charged more than stated on your final invoice.

Price increase policy: In the rare event that any published prices must be increased due to the reasons mentioned above, Nordic Visitor will notify you at least 30 days in advance if your booking price is affected. In such a case, Nordic Visitor will absorb an amount equivalent to 4% of the remaining package price, less the deposit amount paid. Amounts exceeding 4% will be charged. If the surcharge exceeds 8% of the total cost, you will be entitled to cancel your booking with a full refund. Should you cancel your booking due to this reason, you must do so within 14 days from the issue date of the new invoice.

Price decrease policy: Should the price of your booking decrease due to the same reasons as mentioned above, by more than 4% of the total price, then any refund due will be paid to you. Any administration cost incurred will be deducted from the refund. Travel arrangements are, however, not always purchased in a local currency, and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual or other protection in place.

There will be no changes made in the price of confirmed bookings within 30 days of departure, nor will refunds be paid during this period.

Price errors policy: We endeavour to ensure that all the information and prices on our website are accurate. However, occasionally, changes and errors occur. When such errors occur, we will do our utmost to notify you at the time of booking, or as soon as possible upon us becoming aware of the mistake. We reserve the right to cancel, amend or limit the order placed at the incorrect price. You must check the current price and all other details relating to the arrangements that you wish to book before your booking is confirmed.

How to change a booking: All booking change requests must be made via email by the person who submitted the original booking request. We will do our best to make the changes, but it may not always be possible. All changes are subject to availability.

Administration fee policies: Depending on how far in advance a tour package has been booked and when changes to a booking are requested, an administrative fee of 5,000 ISK (Iceland office), 35 GBP (for UK & Ireland office) or 40 EUR (Sweden office) may be charged to the credit card used for the original payment for each day/night of the itinerary that is modified.

Nordic Visitor may waive administrative fees if changes are requested within 30 days of the booking date. 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.

Booking transfers: 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 5,000 ISK (Iceland office), 35 GBP (for UK & Ireland office) or 40 EUR (Sweden office) 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, Nordic Visitor 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:

1. accept the changes,
2. accept an alternative tour (if available and offered by us), or
3. 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.

The following terms and conditions apply to all special offers and discounts on Nordicvisitor.com in conjunction with our standard booking terms for all Nordic Visitor travel packages:

• Special offer and discount pricing apply to new bookings only
• Not valid in combination with any other discounts or promotions
• Valid only for standard packages as listed on the website – not for customisations such as hotel upgrades or additional nights, supplemental activities, or extra days with a rental car
• The posted discount will be deducted from the total price at the time of booking
• Bookings of packages on special offer are not commissionable for third-party travel agents (see “Information for travel agencies” section on this page).

All invoices and travel documents are sent to customers electronically as PDF documents attached to an email.

Included hard copies: If you arrive in Reykjavík (Iceland), Stockholm (Sweden), Edinburgh (Scotland), Dublin (Ireland), Zurich (Switzerland) or Munich (Germany), hard copies of the travel documents may be available on arrival. This will be either from the driver of your airport transfer (if included) or at the hotel. For information about if a hard copy is included, view the list of "included" services in your tour package.

Hard copies by special request: You may also request to have the documents mailed to you by first-class post. There is a small additional fee for this service. In accordance with mail order regulations, documents must be sent to the billing address of the credit card holder, not to the address(es) of the passenger(s), unless they are one and the same.

Please note that Nordic Visitor cannot accept responsibility for documents misplaced or lost by postal services. We therefore recommend that all documents be sent to you by Registered Post or Courier Service to your home address, although there is an extra cost for this.

Your visa and health requirements and other immigration requirements are your responsibility, and you should confirm these requirements with the relevant embassies and/or consulates. We can only provide general information about these matters. Visa requirements do change, and you must check the latest information in good time before departure. We are not responsible if you are refused entry to a country because you lack the correct passport, visa, or other travel documentation.

Required – credit card for self-drive tours: A valid credit card is required for all our self-drive tours to cover the car rental deposit (also known as the deductible).

Nordic Visitor claims no responsibility for any loss, damage, accident, injury, sickness, or schedule change due to weather, strike, natural disaster, or any other cause beyond Nordic Visitor's control. Nordic Visitor acts in good faith and cannot be held responsible for any agent, hotel, coach operator, airline, guide, restaurant, or any other person's or company's acts, defaults, or delays.

Nordic Visitor reserves the right to alter routes, itineraries, or departure times, without prior notice, should the necessity arise. In the case of any changes to flights (domestic and international) or scheduled travel by cruise, ferry, bus, or train, the passenger is responsible for additional costs incurred due to such changes (e.g., extra nights at a hotel, meals, transfers, and so forth.).

We therefore strongly recommend all customers to have comprehensive travel insurance to meet all contingencies.

Our goal is to provide excellent customer service. To do so, we maintain strict quality monitoring. If, for any reason, you are unhappy with your tour package, we want to hear about it right away. We recommend calling our office or emergency helpline as soon as any incident arises during your tour. If you are unable to do so at the time, you must notify Nordic Visitor in writing (please email info[at]nordicvisitor.com) within 30 days of your return, or else you may jeopardise your right to compensation.

If you need information on health services or other public authorities, need to make distance communication or need help to find alternative travel arrangements; we shall provide appropriate assistance as promptly as possible. We reserve the right to charge you a fee corresponding to the cost incurred by us for assisting if the difficulty that requires our assistance is caused intentionally or through negligence. All information on Nordic Visitor's website is subject to change. Nordic Visitor reserves the right to correct any mistakes that may appear on the website or published price lists.

Most of our tour packages are commissionable for travel agents. Please note, however, that we do not offer commissions for tour packages on special offer, on discount (including Early Bird and Black Friday deals), or on optional activities that are added to tour packages. Please visit our travel agent page for more information.
