Applies to Europe Independent Travel Plans

Does Not Apply to Affiliates

While Voyasea Travel is part of the MDC Plus Travel, LLC family, our amazing affiliate specialists are independent. This means they have their own unique terms, conditions, and professional fees. Think of it like a boutique hotel—each one has its own vibe (and its own rules). Be sure to chat with your specialist about the specifics!

Separate from Supplier Costs

Our fees are for our planning and advisory services alone. They are separate from and in addition to any charges from hotels, airlines, or other travel suppliers.

Your initial consultation is always complimentary.

Cancellations

Our commitment is to transparency. It is important to understand that all travel suppliers (airlines, hotels, cruise lines, tour operators, etc.) have their own unique cancellation policies.

In the event you need to cancel your trip for any reason, these suppliers will likely impose penalties, which may include the forfeiture of all deposits and payments. These charges are set directly by the supplier, are entirely independent of MDC Plus Travel, LLC (Voyasea Travel’s parent company), and are the sole financial responsibility of the client.

Your travel specialist will provide you with the specific cancellation and refund policies for each supplier in your detailed travel plan so you are fully aware of the terms of your booking.

Voyasea Travel’s professional service fee cancellation terms:

  • In the event that you need to cancel your travel arrangements for any reason prior to payment and confirmation to a travel supplier(s), you will be refunded 75% of the professional service fee.

  • If you need to cancel your travel arrangements for any reason after having paid and received confirmation from one or more travel suppliers, you will be refunded 25% of the professional service fee.

  • We’re here to support you. In the event of a serious illness or death of anyone in your travel group, you’ll receive a full refund of the professional service fee, regardless of where we are in your travel planning.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance from a trusted provider to safeguard your travel plans from unexpected events that might force you to cancel. Voyasea Travel can assist you with this.

Independent Travel Planning+

Before we start planning your trip, you’ll need to give us your approval by agreeing to a Travel Service Agreement. The professional service fee will be charged when your Voyasea Travel specialist begins confirming your travel arrangements*. This fee covers the independent travel planning services they provide and can’t be used to pay for travel expenses. Each travel plan you make with Voyasea Travel will have its own professional service fee, and is not transferable to future trips. 

Professional service fees are as follows:

  • Flat-rate of $500 for 1 to 2 members of the traveling party.

  • Additional members of the traveling party are charged a flat-rate of $150 per person.

+An independent travel plan includes any combination of travel arrangements booked separately, such as hotels, flights, transportation, and tours (either guided or on your own).

*For our California clients: Enjoy a preliminary complimentary consultation! If you then decide to utilize Voyasea Travel’s expertise for independent travel planning, a professional service fee (detailed in our fee schedule) will be applied. This fee will be invoiced upon confirmation and payment of your travel arrangements. Rest assured, you won’t be charged until your trip is fully booked. Please refer to the ‘Cancellations’ section for complete refund information.
