THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS
Cruise line(s), carrier(s), resort(s), shore excursion operator(s), tour agent(s), tour operator(s), and other such third parties may issue their own contract(s), and Olivia is hereby expressly authorized to enter into and/or accept such contract(s) on Traveler’s behalf, and traveler will be subject to the terms and conditions of any such third party.

In arranging the travel and tour and in performing any related services, Olivia makes no warranties nor representations to Traveler whatsoever, and in any event shall not be liable for any delay, cancellation, change in itinerary, or variation from schedule or advertised services, or any loss or damage arising from any cause whatsoever.
BOOKING/PAYMENT AND SERVICE FEES
BOOKING
Booking will be confirmed upon payment of your applicable non-refundable deposit. The Terms and Conditions must be signed and returned to Olivia immediately upon receipt of traveler’s deposit but not later than seventy-two (72) hours.
After booking is processed, you will receive your invoice with payment information, and other important travel information. While Olivia may send out a payment schedule reminder, it is the Traveler’s sole responsibility to make all payments in full and on time. Failure to make anypayment by the stipulated deadline, including full and final payment, may result in the cancellation of your travel. In such a case this would be considered a cancellation by you and the cancellation terms and fees as described below would be in effect. Further, you are only entitled to request or make changes to your reservation as stipulated in the Changes and Cancellation section below.
SERVICE FEES
Any and all fees relating to our travel planning services, including without limitation, planning fees, revision or change fees, cancellation fees, and ticketing fees (collectively, “Service Fees”), if any, are NON-REFUNDABLE and must be received in full by Olivia.
Please review all correspondence and documents carefully and promptly as we will not be responsible for any errors. It is your responsibility to review all travel documentation and alert us within twenty-four (24) hours with any corrections.
OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS
We do not provide or arrange excursions not listed on your itinerary. Our local representatives or guides may put you in touch with local organizers of excursions if you request them to, but we can have no liability for such excursions, as your contract for such excursions will be with a local company providing the services and not with us.
HOTELS
Travelers should be aware that hotel room sizes, standards and facilities can vary regionally and are often different from standards in the United States. This can include differences in bed sizes and room sizes, bathroom amenities, amenities such as air-conditioning and compliance with other standards such as ADA and wheelchair accessibility. One of the joys of international travel is experiencing different cultures and different ways of life, so we hope that you will accept these differences with grace and a sense of adventure.Olivia reserves the right, if necessary, to substitute other similar hotels for hotels listed. Such substitutions may be made at any time, and without prior notice. Olivia cannot be held responsible for hotel over-bookings; should such occur, Olivia will undertake to find similar accommodations in the same area. Such substitutions are at our sole discretion and no refunds will be offered for changes in accommodations.
SUPPLIER DESCRIPTIONS/AMENITIES/IMAGES
While we exercise due diligence in the selection of our partners, hotel and other accommodation profiles are based on information provided to us by the supplier. This includes images and descriptions of the properties and rooms. Additionally, travelers should be aware that star ratings or similar systems are based on country classifications and therefore can differ. While Olivia does its best to maintain current and accurate information regarding these suppliers, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in supplier descriptions, amenities, or images. The Traveler agrees to furnish email address and receive email communications from Olivia. Olivia will not share email addresses with any other party (please view our Privacy Policy for more information).
TRAVELER INFORMATION
We bring to your attention the importance of accuracy. Names provided to secure reservations must match travelers’ government-issued identification and/or passports. Date of birth and complete passport details, if applicable, are required. It is your responsibility to review all travel documentation and alert us within twenty-four (24) hours of any corrections. Travelers voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation.
PAYMENT METHODS/CHARGEBACKS
Payments will be processed through a secure online system and can be made via major credit cards including Discover, Mastercard, and Visa, as applicable. Your verbal or written authorization is a legally binding agreement for us to process payment. Additionally, you agree not to make any improper chargebacks.
In certain cases, you can dispute charges made with credit cards ("chargebacks"). Before initiating a chargeback, the Traveler must contact Olivia concerning any questions or concerns about our charges. We will work with you in attempting to resolve your concerns. Olivia retains the right to dispute any chargeback that is improper and recover any costs, including attorney’s fees, related to improper chargebacks and to cancel any travel reservation related to that improper chargeback. The following chargeback scenarios are improper, and we retain the right to investigate and rebut the chargeback claims below, including without limitation:
- Chargebacks resulting from non-cancellable reservations, whether or not the reservation is used.
- Chargebacks resulting from charges authorized by family, friends, associates or other third parties with direct access to your credit card (this does not include credit card fraud).
- Chargebacks arising from inconsistency or inaccuracy with regard to the product description.
- Chargebacks resulting from force majeure or other circumstances that are beyond the control of Olivia or the Supplier.

- Chargebacks resulting from an experience where you were not satisfied with the services/products provided by Olivia or the travel Supplier.
PRICE AND RATE CHANGES
The price of your itinerary will be based on known costs at the date of issue. All prices we advertise are accurate at the date published, but we reserve the right to change any of those prices from time to time. Prices include a cost for local taxes that are estimated at the date of publication. However, we reserve the right to add a supplement to your travel prices should our costs of supplying your travel increase, until we receive your final payment. Any increase to your travel price will be as the result of circumstances outside of our control, including without limitation changes in our costs of supplying your travel resulting from changes by our Suppliers, dues or taxes payable locally, currency fluctuations and government action. If our costs to supply your travel increase, we reserve the right to increase the price of your travel and will forward a new invoice reflecting any changes made. Subject to the foregoing, after final payment your price is locked in.
We also reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices at any time before your travel is confirmed. We will advise you of any errors of which we are aware, and of the adjustment in price, if any, at the time of your booking.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY TRAVELER
CHANGES BY TRAVELER
Since changes may be considered cancelled services, additional cancellation penalties may apply. Changes are subject to additional Supplier charges, are based on availability, and may incur additional fees. Any changes are subject to the applicable Supplier’s terms and conditions. Olivia, in our sole discretion, may charge a change fee, based upon the complexity of the revision requested.
CANCELLATION BY TRAVELER

If the reason for cancellation is covered under the terms of your travel protection plan, you may be able to reclaim these charges. For this reason, we recommend the purchase of a comprehensive travel protection plan.
Olivia applies the following cancellation schedule:
Cancellation Fee, by Period Prior to Trip
- 365+ days: 50% of trip cost

Transfer funds and/or future trip credits
Transfer funds and/or future trip credits are non-refundable and non-transferable from the point of sale forward. Please consult the Traveler Info tab on our website for more information. There will not be any refund for any unused portion of a travel booking. While any participant can choose not to participate, please be aware there will be no refunds for any portion of the trip that participant is not able, or chooses not to engage in. Further, if you cancel while your trip is in progress, there is no refund for the unused portion. In addition, if you arrive late to any part of the trip, all costs required to reach and join the activity/trip in progress will be at your own expense. A fuel surcharge may be or become due, and the Traveler agrees to pay such charges and fees upon demand. The non-discountable amount (NDA), which includes port taxes and gratuities,is not included in the advertised fare. This amount is not subject to any promotional discounts and is subject to change without notice. Some cruise lines include an additional gratuity charge on your bill for anything ordered at the bar, including sodas and water. Should your received payments at the time of cancellation be less than the cancellation fee, the difference shall become immediately due and payable by you.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY US
We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if a Supplier or Olivia needs to make a significant change(s) to your confirmed booking or to cancel. Before or during your trip, Olivia and its Suppliers may need to cancel or change/substitute parts of your itinerary, including but not limited to ports of call and embarkation schedule, hotels and accommodations of comparable quality, or surface transportation changes (e.g., drivers and guides), security matters, and/or other events make such alterations necessary. Suppliers may also substitute transportation equipment based on circumstances such as passenger volume. Some facilities or services may be limited or unavailable during holidays or special occasions. When possible, alternatives may be offered but are not guaranteed. Olivia is not responsible for closures or necessary itinerary changes. These changes are not considered material and do not give you the right to cancel without penalty. Normal cancellation fees still apply if you cancel your trip after these changes.
FORCE MAJEURE
Olivia assumes no liability for any loss, damage, delay, or cancellation resulting in whole or in part from an Act of God or any other force majeure condition, including, without limitation: natural disasters, fire, volcanic eruption, hurricane, environmental pollution or contamination, inclement weather, earthquake, low or high water levels, flood, water or power shortages or failures, tropical storms or hurricanes, riots or civil commotion or disturbances, or any other acts of a similar nature, sabotage, cybersecurity issues and/or technology outages or disruptions, changes of schedules or operational decisions of air carriers, arrests, strikes or labor disruptions, restraint of rulers or peoples, expropriations, acts of terrorism, war, insurrection, quarantine restrictions, government health advisories, epidemics, pandemics (including, without limitation, COVID-19), or warnings or alerts of any kind of nature, government seizures, refusal or cancellation or suspension or delay of any government authority or any license, permit or authorization, damages to its facilities or the travel Supplier and its facilities, or any other unforeseen circumstances or any other factors unforeseen by Olivia that impacts negatively on, or hampers, its ability to fulfill any of its contractual conditions (“force majeure”). In circumstances amounting to force majeure, we will not be required to refund any money to you, although if (and only if) we can recover any monies from our Suppliers (it being under no obligation to do so), we will refund these to you without any charge by Olivia.
TRAVEL PROTECTION/INSURANCE
Travel Protection Coverage is NOT included in the cost of your trip. It is the Traveler’s responsibility to protect their purchases. For this reason, Travel Protection/Insurance Coverage is recommended, and such plans should cover Trip Cancellation or Interruption, Medical Expense, Emergency Evacuation/Repatriation, and Baggage insurance. Travel protection/insurance plans can help protect you in the event of loss of NON-REFUNDABLE trip deposits and any other payments that result from cancellation or trip interruption (due to a covered reason such as injury or illness before or during the trip). It also helps with reimbursement for costs related to, and not limited to, medical emergencies (including costly medical evacuation and repatriation costs), delayed or missed connections and baggage delay/loss.
Travel protection/insurance plans, which may include Cancel For Any Reason coverage, typically must be purchased within ten (10) days of initial trip payment in order to qualify for a pre-existing condition waiver.
While Olivia may recommend travel insurance options for you to choose from, we are not liable for any issues that result with said travel insurance options. Olivia is not qualified to answer technical questions about the benefits, exclusions, and conditions of travel coverage plans and, as such, we cannot evaluate the adequacy of the prospective insured's existing insurance coverage. Further, we cannot guarantee that any insurance provider will approve coverage for a claim made under the insurer’s policy and make no representations about the extent of coverage for any policy it may offer or quote. Cancellation fees will not be accepted as part of your claim. If you have any questions about your travel protection, call your insurer or insurance agent or broker.
Certain countries have a requirement for foreign visitors to have valid medical insurance on entry. Olivia cannot be held responsible for denied entry if a traveler is unable to provide such details to authorities of insurance or denial of entry for any reason. Declining to purchase an adequate travel protection plan could result in the loss of your travel cost and/or require more money to correct the situation. You also acknowledge that without this coverage, there may be no way to recoup any losses, costs or expenses incurred.
BY DECLINING TO PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE, THE TRAVELER ACKNOWLEDGES THE AFOREMENTIONED RISKS ABOVE. FURTHER, IF YOU CHOOSE TO TRAVEL WITHOUT ADEQUATE INSURANCE COVERAGE, OLIVIA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY OF YOUR LOSSES HOWSOEVER ARISING, FOR WHICH TRIP PROTECTION PLAN COVERAGE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE.
DESTINATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION
Travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Olivia urges travelers to remain informed daily as to current news, as well as to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements, and advisories issued by the United States Government prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to destinations can be found at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel.html and http://www.cdc.gov. In addition, you should consult with government websites to ensure that you are following all requirements for admittance into that country, including without limitation any COVID-19 requirements, as well as understanding local laws that govern travel within a country, such as medical tests and tracking. A U.S. State Department list of travel advisories is available at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories.html/.
Should you choose to travel to a country that has been issued a travel warning or advisory, Olivia will not be liable for damages or losses that result from travel to such destinations.
It is the responsibility of each traveler to obtain and carry a valid passport, visa(s), inoculations, and all other documents required by applicable government regulations. When traveling domestically within the USA or internationally, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) advise that everyone carry at least two forms of acceptable identification in order to board a flight, found here: http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/acceptable-ids. Air travelers with identification (ID) that does not meet the REAL ID ACT requirements will have to use alternate ID forms (passport, military ID, or permanent resident card) to pass TSA security checkpoints—even for domestic travel. Visas are required when they apply. U.S. citizens traveling to the United Kingdom (UK) for short visits, tourism, or business, including those just passing through UK airports, will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) if they do not have a UK visa or legal residency in the UK or the Republic of Ireland. You can find out if your international destination requires a visa and how to apply at https://www.usa.gov/visas-citizens-traveling-abroad. Travelers voluntarily assume full and sole responsibility for any and all risks and/or costs involved with failure to report any errors and/or omissions to documentation. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees and/or departure taxes/ exit fees which will be collected at the airports upon entry/departure by local government authorities. Olivia strongly recommends that you consider that certain countries will not admit a passenger if their passport expires within six (6) months of the date of entry. Many countries require a minimum number of blank pages in your passport book. Non-USA citizens may require additional documentation. Please visit https://help.cbp.gov, www.travel.state.gov or https://www.dhs.gov/real-idfor the most updated requirements for travel documentation.
The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service provided by the U.S. Government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, a foreign country. STEP allows you to enter information about your upcoming trip abroad so that the Department of State can better assist you in an emergency. Registration is recommended and provided by going to https://step.state.gov/step/. Further, certain countries restrict travelers with criminal convictions, even if expunged. Please inform us prior to booking with us if this applies to you and seek separate legal counsel to confirm your ability to travel to your desired destination. If you are denied access to a country or a Supplier due to a conviction, Olivia shall not be liable for any losses, expenses, or refunds to you or anyone in your group.
In addition, recommended inoculations and vaccinations for travel may change and you should consult your practitioner for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations and vaccinations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip. Inoculation requirements can be found on the Center for Disease Control website at https://www.cdc.gov/.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE ANY FAILURE TO STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS MAY RESULT IN DENIED BOARDING OR AN UNDUE DELAY AT AN AIRPORT SECURITY CHECKPOINT CAUSING TRAVELER TO MISS FLIGHT(S), AND SUBSEQUENT SCHEDULED TRAVEL BOOKINGS TRIPS. OLIVIA BEARS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADVISING AND/OR OBTAINING REQUIRED TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION FOR YOU, OR FOR ANY DELAYS, DAMAGES, AND/OR LOSSES INCLUDING MISSED PORTIONS OF YOUR VACATION RELATED TO IMPROPER DOCUMENTATION OR GOVERNMENT DECISIONS ABOUT ENTRY.

SELLER OF TRAVEL
CA SOT # 1009281-40; Registration by the State of California does not constitute approval by the State of California.
California Residents Only: Upon cancellation of the transportation or travel services, where the guest is not at fault and has not canceled in violation of any terms and conditions previously clearly and conspicuously disclosed and agreed to by the guest, all sums paid to Olivia for services not provided will be promptly paid to the guest, unless the guest advises Olivia in writing, after cancellation. This provision does not apply where Olivia has remitted the payment to another registered wholesale seller of travel or a carrier, without obtaining a refund, and where the wholesaler or provider defaults in providing the agreed-upon transportation or service. In this situation, Olivia will provide the guest with a written statement accompanied by bank records establishing the disbursement of the payment, and if disbursed to a wholesale seller of travel, proof of current registration of that wholesaler.
