Deposit Structure — Read This First
Your $500 per-person deposit consists of two parts:
$200 Administrative Fee | NON-REFUNDABLE UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES — including but not limited to force majeure, war, armed conflict, weather events, hurricanes, natural disasters, pandemics, illness, personal emergency, or any other reason. The ONLY exception: cancellation by Favor Travel due to insufficient group enrollment (see below). |
$300 Deposit Balance | Refundable subject to the cancellation penalty schedule below. Applied toward your tour balance if you travel. |
✓ FULL $500 REFUND — one case only: if Favor Travel cancels the tour because the required group minimum was not reached (insufficient enrollment), you receive a full refund of your entire deposit including the $200 administrative fee — or you may transfer to another tour date.

Refund Processing & Transaction Fees

- Currency conversion losses: if payment was made in a currency other than US dollars, any exchange rate difference at time of refund is the sole responsibility of the traveler
Favor Travel is not responsible for any fees charged by the traveler’s bank, card issuer, or payment processor in connection with any payment or refund transaction.

Refund Timelines (Washington RCW 19.138.040)
IF TRANSPORTATION OR OTHER SERVICES ARE CANCELED BY THE SELLER OF TRAVEL, ALL SUMS PAID TO THE SELLER OF TRAVEL FOR SERVICES NOT PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE SELLER OF TRAVEL AND THE PURCHASER WILL BE REFUNDED WITHIN THIRTY DAYS OF RECEIVING THE FUNDS FROM THE VENDOR WITH WHOM THE SERVICES WERE ARRANGED, OR IF THE FUNDS WERE NOT SENT TO THE VENDOR, THE FUNDS WILL BE RETURNED WITHIN FOURTEEN DAYS AFTER CANCELLATION BY THE SELLER OF TRAVEL TO THE PURCHASER UNLESS THE PURCHASER REQUESTS THE SELLER OF TRAVEL TO APPLY THE MONEY TO ANOTHER TRAVEL PRODUCT AND/OR DATE.
For traveler-initiated cancellations: refunds of any amounts due (after applicable penalties) are processed within 30 days of receiving refunded funds from vendors, or within 14 days if funds were not yet sent to vendors. Where a vendor issues only travel credit, that credit is the sole available remedy and will be passed to the traveler.
Force Majeure — Important Clarification
★ Force majeure events (war, armed conflict, hurricanes, extreme weather, natural disasters, pandemics, government travel bans, airspace closures) do NOT create an exception to the $200 administrative fee or to vendor-imposed penalties. The $200 administrative fee is forfeited in all force majeure scenarios.
In force majeure situations, Favor Travel will work with you and with suppliers to pursue alternatives, rebooking, or travel credits. Refunds of amounts beyond the administrative fee depend entirely on the refund policies of the individual airlines, hotels, cruise lines, and ground operators involved. Where a supplier offers only travel credit, that credit is the sole available remedy.
Cruises, All-inclusive — Specific Cancellation Policy
Cruise cancellation policies are set by the cruise line and vary by sailing, date, and cabin category. They apply in addition to Favor Travel’s fees. Cruise lines typically impose their own non-refundable deposit windows and 100% penalty periods beginning 90–120 days before sailing. The specific cruise line policy will be provided in writing at time of booking.
Individual Tour Cancellation Terms
The cancellation penalty schedule set out in this Section applies as the default policy for all tours unless otherwise specified. If your specific tour, cruise, package, or booking has different cancellation terms, those terms will be clearly stated in your Tour Documents, booking confirmation, or written contract issued by Favor Travel at time of booking.
In the event of any conflict between the default cancellation schedule in these Terms and the terms stated in your individual Tour Documents or written confirmation, the terms in your Tour Documents and written confirmation take precedence.
Financial Protection
Favor Travel maintains a surety bond as its approved form of financial security under Washington’s Seller of Travel Act (RCW 19.138), registered with the Washington State Department of Licensing (UBI 605184611 001 0001). This bond exists to protect consumer payments in accordance with Washington law.
Travel Insurance — Strongly Recommended
Because the $200 administrative fee and vendor penalties apply even in emergencies and force majeure, travel insurance is the only real protection for your investment.
- Purchase within 14–21 days of your deposit to qualify for pre-existing condition coverage
- ‘Cancel for Any Reason’ (CFAR) coverage provides the broadest protection
Favor Travel is not a licensed insurance producer and does not sell, underwrite, or administer insurance. Any insurance purchase is a direct transaction between you and the insurance provider. Review all policy terms, limits, and exclusions before purchasing.
