Cancellation policy

The percentages in the table above are of the full trip price, not of what you’ve paid at the time of booking.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of booking receive a full refund on all plans, including booking fees and insurance. After the 48-hour window, your refund depends on your selected protection plan and when you cancel. Core and Premium plans extend your cancellation rights beyond the Standard policy:

  • With Core, a covered reason gets you 75% of your trip cost back — even the day before you go.
  • With Premium, a covered reason gets you 100% of your trip cost back — and any other reason gets you 75%, right up to the day you leave.
What counts as a covered reason
  • Sudden illness or injury — yours, a travel companion’s, or an immediate family member’s, confirmed by a doctor
  • Death of a traveler or an immediate family member
  • A natural disaster affecting your destination or your departure point
  • A government travel advisory against travel to your destination

Changing your mind isn’t a covered reason. Premium is the only plan that covers that. Documentation is required for all insurance claims.

Everything the travel insurance covers

Both plans include travel insurance through Redpoint Travel Protection. Core insures 75% of your trip cost; Premium insures 100%.

Maximum per person:

  • Trip cancellation — up to 100% of your trip cost
  • Cancel for any reason — up to 75% of your trip cost (Premium only)
  • Trip interruption — 150% of the trip cost limit
  • Trip delay — $200 a day, $1,000 max
  • Itinerary change — $250
  • Single occupancy supplement — up to 100% of trip cost
  • Missed connection — $1,000
  • Travel inconvenience — $250 each, $750 max
  • Pet return — $1,000 per pet
  • Baggage and personal effects — $2,500, max $300 an item
  • Baggage delay — $600, after 12 hours
  • Baggage delivery — $100 per trip
  • Emergency medical expenses — $100,000
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation — up to $1,000,000

These are maximums. What a claim actually pays depends on what you can document and on the policy’s exclusions — pre-existing conditions and undeclared activities among them. We’ll send the full policy wording with your confirmation.

  • Join our women-only West Greenland hiking tour for an unforgettable Arctic adventure! We’ll explore Ilulissat with its colorful houses and UNESCO-listed Icefjord, cruise among massive icebergs, and discover Disko Island’s volcanic cliffs, black sand beaches, and sweeping meadows. We’ll hike scenic trails, savor authentic Greenlandic cuisine, meet local communities, and keep an eye out for whales. This journey combines wild landscapes, cultural immersion, and shared experiences that will stay with you forever.

    • Pack a few snacks in your bag—lunch will be fashionably late, as we’ll touch down in Ilulissat right around midday. From the airport, it’s a quick hop to the hotel to drop off your bags before heading straight to the harbour, where a private sailing adventure awaits. We’ll glide through the legendary Icefjords, soaking up dazzling views on the way to a tiny village, where a cozy local spot serves Greenlandic specialties sure to delight your taste buds. In the late afternoon, we’ll sail back to Ilulissat to check in for the night, with the evening free to enjoy dinner wherever you like and unwind at your own pace.

    • Start the day with a cheerful breakfast and your favorite coffee—fuel for the adventures ahead! We’ll spend the morning wandering the colorful streets of Ilulissat, discovering its charm and hidden gems. By midday, we’ll bid farewell to our hotel and set sail on a scenic two-hour ferry ride to epic Disko Island. Once settled in our rooms, a local guide full of stories and fishing poles leads us on an exploration of the island’s wonders. Try your luck casting for fresh cod—if you catch one, you might even cook and savor it on the spot. A day of local flavors, hands-on fun, and unforgettable memories awaits!

      Meals: Breakfast and dinner
      Accommodation: Hotel Disko Island

      Disko Island Greenland

    • Get ready for another epic day with our local guide! We’ll sail along the wild east coast of Disko Island, taking in ever-changing landscapes—from rugged cliffs to black sand beaches—while spotting seals on the rocks, whales breaching, and seabirds overhead. The highlight: cruising through a massive volcanic basalt rock with a giant hole carved by ancient lava flows, standing like nature’s own gateway. We’ll hop ashore for a short 15–20 minute hike to two stunning waterfalls—ideal for deep breaths and photos—then continue with a hike up the iconic 800-meter mountain towering over the town. At the summit, panoramic views of Disko Bay, Ilulissat, Qasigiannguit, and Aasiaat await. In the afternoon, we’ll ferry back to Ilulissat, soaking in the last island views, before enjoying a delicious dinner together, sharing stories, laughs, and the perfect end to an unforgettable day.

    • Rise and shine—another magical day in Ilulissat awaits! Today’s adventure takes us on a 7 km (4.4 mi) hike along the shimmering edge of the world-famous Icefjord, where you’ll enjoy jaw-dropping views of towering icebergs drifting past with the dramatic Sermermiut Valley as your backdrop. Walking in the footsteps of ancient Inuit communities adds a layer of history to every step. At the perfect overlook, we’ll enjoy a cheerful picnic with sweeping Arctic views (and maybe a curious seagull or two). The trail can get a bit bumpy or soggy in places, but the scenery makes it all worth it. In the afternoon, the pace slows down—you’re free to wander the colorful town, explore local shops, or simply relax and take in the Arctic beauty.

    • Another day, another adventure! We’ll set off on a boat trip to the legendary EQI calving glacier, crossing icy blue waters and listening to the thunderous roar of colossal slabs of ice crashing into the sea—a natural spectacle that will leave you speechless and your camera roll overflowing. On the way back to Ilulissat, we’ll stop in the charming village of Oqaatsut for a delicious meal at a cozy local restaurant. Famous for its stunning red cliffs, it’s the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and a few last scenic shots before continuing on. This day is the ultimate mix of glacier drama, authentic culture, mouthwatering food, and views that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
