Trip cancellations

As the world re-opens, we want to make sure your travels stay safe and are in line with local government regulations. We have cancelled some of our tours until 30 June 2022, so we can be sure that we're able to operate safely in those destinations, for both you and the local community. In the meantime, we also have local travel options if you'd like to explore close-to-home.

You will automatically receive a credit of monies paid to Intrepid. You do not need to contact us to confirm your travel credit, as it has been automatically applied to your booking number. You can redeem your travel credit on hundreds of Intrepid trips globally – it does not have to be the same tour you were originally booked on.  

Credit amounts exclude any flights or insurance we have booked for you, as they will each have their own individual booking conditions associated with the provider. 

Please note that a number of trips, including Polar, Adventure Cruises and select Tailor-Made trips have different conditions, applicable under our Special Conditions.  

Your travel credit includes your Intrepid tour and any pre and post-trip accommodation or airport transfers you booked through us. It does not include any flights or insurance we have booked for you, as they will each have their own individual booking conditions associated with the provider.

Even though we had to cancel your trip, we really hope you'll travel with us again! That's why we've given you a credit with no expiry, which you can use towards your next adventure whenever it suits you. Whether you decide to re-book the same trip or take one that's completely different, we're ready to help you when the time is right. 

In the meantime, your credit doesn't just secure your future travel plans, it also secures the future of the travel industry, helping us to employ people in our destinations around the globe. Your credit shows your trust in Intrepid and is a down payment on the kind of world you want to see when travel returns.

In most cases where we've offered credit, it has no expiry date.  

Please note that our Polar voyages, Tailor-Made trips and select Adventure Cruises have different conditions, applicable under our Special Conditions. 

If you are eligible for credit on any flights or insurance that were cancelled, the relevant Booking Conditions with these operators will apply. 

If we cancel your trip, we will automatically apply your credit, for future travel. If you would prefer a refund, and you booked directly with Intrepid, please contact us. Alternatively, if you booked with a travel agent, please contact them directly. We will review your case in line with original Booking Conditions at time of your booking. 

Yes. 

We have flexible options if you need to make changes before your full payment is due and we also offer COVID Protection.   

Our travellers come from all over the world, which means each traveller will be facing a different level of travel restrictions, depending on where they live. Due to the ever-changing nature of the variety of travel restrictions, we are waiting until between one and two months before a trip is scheduled to depart to make a decision on whether the trip will be running or not, in an effort to keep the possibility of travelling viable for any travellers who may be in a position to do so. All travellers will be notified of their options at least one month before they are scheduled to depart to allow them time to make any changes to their current arrangements.

Please contact your travel agent so they can assist you. 

You will receive a pro-rata travel credit that you can use towards another Intrepid tour that departs. This travel credit will be applied for the total number of days you did not receive and will be calculated by dividing the total cost of your tour by the number of days you did travel on your tour. You will also receive a pro-rata travel credit for post-accommodation or/and transfers you paid for.

Please contact us so we can advise you of your options – this will depend on the airline rules relevant to your airfare/s. 

At this stage, all trips departing from 1 July 2022 have not been cancelled and are scheduled to depart as planned. We are monitoring government foreign travel advice carefully for all other trips departing up until 30 June 2022 and will notify you at least one month before your scheduled departure date (via your booking agent) if your trip is cancelled, changed or going ahead. 

If you want to cancel your booking, please see our Booking Conditions or our COVID Protection (under Flexible Bookings) for the options available to you.

We have cancelled some of our tours up until the end of June 2022 and will continue to monitor the situation carefully for tours beyond June.

If your trip is still scheduled to depart between now and June 2022, you will be contacted directly by our team or your travel agent with the latest information about whether you are able to join the group, based on your home country's current travel restrictions. We appreciate that in cases where the trip is running but not all nationalities are able to join, it is very disappointing and we are very sorry that all travellers are not able to join all our trips at this time.  

Travellers who are able to go on their trip will be provided with additional on-trip health and safety and pre-departure information via email. Travellers who are not able to depart due to government travel restrictions will be notified by email and have a credit with no expiry date automatically applied to their file. If you have questions or concerns about your specific circumstances, please contact us or contact your travel agent if they helped you book with Intrepid.

We closely monitor all our destinations – if there are any changes to your trip, we aim to notify you at least one month before your scheduled departure date. If you booked with a travel agent, they’ll notify you of any changes.
