“You” and “Your” means all persons named in a booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date). “We”, “us”, “our” and “EAS” means CPD Cruises Pty Limited trading as Education at Sea.

BOOKINGS: A booking request is accepted when we issue a statement of account showing your deposit paid. It is at this point that a contract between us and you comes into existence subject to these Booking Conditions. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our discretion. No employee of ours other than a director has the authority to vary or omit any of these Booking Conditions or to promise any discount or refund.

SERVICES: We commence providing services to you as soon as your receive your statement of account. This includes significant work undertaken prior to travel to arrange and coordinate the delivery of your travel arrangements. The services we provide to you are limited to (a) the arrangement and coordination of your travel arrangements; and (b) the delivery of travel arrangements which we directly control.

PRICES & EXCLUSIONS: Prices stated are in Australian Dollars and are current at the time of publication. We reserve the right to vary the cost of your travel arrangements prior to commencement for circumstances beyond our control such as the imposition of fuel surcharges or new or amended Government charges. We also reserve the right to vary the cost of your travel arrangements due to currency fluctuations. However, we will not vary the cost for currency fluctuations once full payment has been received. The price includes your CPD education fee, accommodation, regional and domestic flights including 20kg of luggage and 1 personal item carry on, transportation and other inclusions as per the published itinerary. International and airport/hotel transfers are not included unless specifically stated. Costs associated with passports, visas, vaccinations, insurance, additional luggage, meals (other than those stipulated), emergency evacuation costs, gratuities, and all items of a personal nature are not included.

DEPOSIT: A $600 deposit per person is required to confirm your booking. Please note that we may not hold any services for you until we receive payment of your deposit, meaning that services may become unavailable or prices may increase, in which case you will be responsible for paying the increased price, and we will not be responsible if services become unavailable.

FINAL PAYMENT: Payment in full must be received by the 4th April 2025. If you fail to make payment by the due date, we will remind you to make payment. In addition to the payment, you will also be responsible for any costs imposed on us by suppliers resulting from late payment. If we do not receive payment within 7 days after the reminder, you will be deemed to have cancelled your booking.

CANCELLATION TERMS: You may cancel your booking by giving written notice to us. All deposits are non-refundable due to services offered commencing at the time of booking confirmation. Should you cancel after the final payment date or no show 100% of the booking value is non-refundable.

ILLNESS OR VACCINATION STATUS PREVENTING TRAVEL:  

If due to any illness, suspected illness or failure to satisfy any required tests or vaccination requirements:

• An airline or other common carrier refuses you carriage;
• a hotel or vessel refuses to accommodate you; or
• we or our suppliers (acting reasonably) exclude you from the trip

and you are consequently prevented from starting or continuing your trip, then:

• if you have already started your trip, we will help provide assistance to arrange alternative travel arrangements at your own cost
• if you have not yet started your trip then we regret we will not be able to provide assistance

We will not be liable to refund the cost of your trip (or any part of it) because we would have already paid (or committed to pay) suppliers and we would have already performed significant work preparing for the delivery of your trip and servicing your booking.

We will not be responsible for any other loss or loss you incur in connection with your booking (for example, airfares and visa expenses) if you are prevented from commencing or continuing your trip in these circumstances.

We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance that adequately responds to cancellations and curtailments associated with illness and other unforeseen events as soon as you have paid your deposit.

OTHER CANCELLATIONS:

In these Booking Conditions, the term Force Majeure means an event or events beyond our control and which we could not have reasonably prevented, and includes but is not limited to: (a) natural disasters (including not limited to flooding, fire, earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption), adverse weather conditions (including hurricane or cyclone), high or low water levels; (b) war, armed conflict, industrial dispute, civil strife, terrorist activity or the threat of such acts; (c) epidemic, pandemic; (d) any new or change in law, order, decree, rule or regulation of any government authority (the events in (d) being “Government Restrictions”)).

Force Majeure – Prior to departure:

If, in our reasonable assessment, whether directly or via our contractors, suppliers or agents, determine that your travel arrangements cannot safely, legally or sensibly proceed due to a Force Majeure event

If, in our reasonable assessment, we—whether directly or via our employees, contractors, suppliers, or agents—determine that your travel arrangements cannot safely, legally, or sensibly proceed due to a Force Majeure event, or if you notify us no more than 14 days before your scheduled travel that you are unable to use the arrangements because of Government Restrictions (such as border closures), then we may:

• Offer to reschedule your travel arrangements, provided you agree to the new dates; or
• Cancel your travel arrangements, in which case our contract with you will end.

Should we cancel your travel arrangements, neither party will have grounds to seek damages from the other regarding the cancelled arrangements. However, we will either:

• Provide you with a credit equivalent to the payments we received for the cancelled arrangements, redeemable within 12 months for any travel services we offer; or
• Refund payments related to the cancelled arrangements, deducting: (a) non-recoverable third-party costs and related expenses; (b) a portion of overhead costs proportionate to the price of the cancelled arrangements; and (c) reasonable compensation for work performed in relation to the arrangements up to cancellation and for processing the refund.

Please note that our ability to issue you with a credit may be dependent on our suppliers issuing corresponding credits to us. We cannot guarantee that our suppliers will issue corresponding credits and so in such circumstances we may opt to pay you a limited cash refund as outlined.

Force Majeure – During travel

If due to Force Majeure we cancel travel arrangements after your trip has commenced, we will provide you with a refund of recovered third party costs plus any third party costs we don’t incur for cancelled travel arrangements only.

Force Majeure – General

Where a limited cash refund is to be paid by us, we will use reasonable endeavours to recover payments from third parties attributable to your booking, but we make no guarantee that we will be able to recover these payments either partially or at all. If after we have paid you a limited cash refund (or after we determine that no cash refund is currently payable) we recover payments from third parties attributable to your booking, then we will pass on this payment to you.

We will not be responsible for any other loss or costs you incur in connection with your booking (for example, airfares, insurance and visa expenses) if your trip or particular travel arrangements are cancelled due to an event of Force Majeure.

If we provide you with any alternative services or assistance where travel arrangements are cancelled or rescheduled due to Force Majeure which you accept, then you agree the amount to be refunded to you will be reduced by the value of these services and assistance.

You acknowledge that the terms in this section are reasonably necessary to protect our legitimate business interests. We strongly encourage you to purchase travel insurance that adequately responds to cancellation and rescheduling risks associated with Force Majeure events as soon as you have paid a deposit.

Other cancellations

If we cancel your travel arrangements for reasons other than Force Majeure or a failure to satisfy minimum numbers, you will be offered (at your election) a refund of all funds paid, or the offer of travel arrangements of substantially equal quality if appropriate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from our cancellation.

AMENDMENTS BY YOU

We will endeavour to accommodate amendments and additional requests. You acknowledge that these may not be possible to fulfil, and for group departures a transfer of a booking to a different departure is deemed a cancellation. An amendment fee of $150 will be levied to cover communication and administration costs for any changes to bookings. You will also be required to pay any additional costs charged by suppliers.

AMENDMENTS BY US

Prior to travel

Due to the dynamic nature of the travel industry, we may occasionally need to make amendments or modifications to the itinerary and its inclusions and you acknowledge our right to do this. Most changes will not be significant. If we become aware of any significant changes to your itinerary or its inclusions that materially detract from the overall value of the trip (where we determine it can still proceed), then we will notify you within a reasonable time and refund you an amount attributable to any reduction in value determined by us acting reasonably.

During travel

You acknowledge that the itinerary, modes of transport, accommodation and/or the trip’s inclusions may need to change during your trip due to local circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including road conditions, poor weather, changes in transport schedules, and/or vehicle breakdowns.

General

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• we will not be responsible for any omissions or modifications to the itinerary or the inclusions due to Force Majeure or other circumstances beyond our control happening after we have accepted your booking. This includes any loss of enjoyment or distress caused by omissions or modifications;
• if you are entitled to any compensation for any modifications or omissions, then you agree it will be reduced by the value of any alternative services we provide which you accept; and
• we will not be responsible to you for any other expenses or loss you incur resulting from any amendment or change to the itinerary or its inclusions.

UNUSED & DENIED SERVICES

No refunds will be made for of any travel arrangements not utilised, whether by choice or because of late arrival or early departure. This includes the failure of common carriers to operate according to schedule, which we disclaim responsibility for.

If you are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19 and particular suppliers refuse to provide you with travel arrangements, then you agree you will not be entitled to any refund for those arrangements. We will not be responsible to you for any loss or expenses you incur (including loss of enjoyment) if you are denied services in these circumstances.

CLIENT NAMES – EXACTLY AS PER PASSPORT: For security reasons, airlines and our overseas suppliers require names to be given exactly as stated in your passport. If you do not advise the correct information and we have to re-issue airline tickets or other documentation, then you will be responsible for any fees charged (such as airline cancellation charges or re-issue fees) in addition to our own reasonable administration fees.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: It is strongly encouraged that you are adequately insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage and additional expenses. We strongly suggest you purchase insurance at the time you pay your deposit. For an non obligation quote please email travel@traveldirectaustralia.com.au.

PASSPORTS, VISAS & VACCINATIONS: It is a requirement that you hold a valid passport with sufficient validity and any required visas for your trip. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are in possession of the necessary documentation to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries to be visited. It is also your responsibility to obtain vaccinations that are required for the countries we are visiting, please enquiry with your local physician for advice regarding vaccinations.

ACCOMMODATION: Due to the dynamic nature of the travel industry, we may need to substitute hotels and transport options. We will endeavour to minimise substitutions. You acknowledge that these substitutions will not be considered a significant change.

IMAGE USE: When on tour, we may take photographs or make recordings of activities that identify you. We reserve the right to use any images and/or recordings for promotional and marketing purposes. You consent to this use and acknowledge you will not be entitled to any payment or other compensation. If you do not consent to the use of your image or likeness, please advise us before the CPD Study tour commences..
