Alluring Americas strongly recommends that travelers purchase comprehensive Travel Insurance to protect against trip cancellation penalties, non-refundable charges, travel delays, baggage loss, medical emergencies, and evacuation. While you are free to choose any provider, we have partnered with Trawick International®, a trusted leader in travel insurance, to offer plans that cover pre-paid, non-refundable expenses in case of trip cancellation for a covered reason. Additionally, optional benefits such as Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) and Interruption for Any Reason (IFAR) provide extra flexibility. For details on coverage benefits, visit our Travel Insurance page.
Without travel insurance, travelers acknowledge and accept full responsibility for any financial losses and will be subject to the cancellation fees outlined in these Trip Terms & Conditions.
Trip revision or rebooking requests must be submitted in writing to Alluring Americas no later than 91 days prior to the trip start date and are only applicable for trips during standard travel periods. This policy does not apply to trips scheduled during peak travel periods including but not limited to Carnival, Festive Season (Dec 18 – Jan 4), and special events in the destination country. Approval of any revision or rebooking is subject to availability and supplier policies. An administrative processing fee of $350 per traveler will apply, along with any cancellation fees assessed on the existing confirmed trip. Any additional costs resulting from modifications to accommodations, itinerary, or services will be the sole responsibility of the traveler. Alluring Americas reserves the right to deny any rebooking request at its sole discretion.
Special requests, including adjoining or connecting rooms and bedding preferences, must be communicated at the time of booking, while dietary needs must be provided no later than 61 days before the trip start date. While Alluring Americas will make every effort to accommodate these requests, they cannot be guaranteed. Airline seat assignment requests are subject to the airline’s policies and availability, and some fare classes do not permit advance seat selection. Additionally, airlines may change assigned seats due to equipment or operational factors, even after confirmation. As such, Alluring Americas cannot guarantee any specific seat assignment on flights.
Certain hotels, cruise operators, and other trip-related suppliers impose minimum age requirements, which will be disclosed before booking. All travelers under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult, and some accommodations may require that children below a certain age share a room with an adult.
A parent or guardian traveling alone with a minor should carry documentation proving their relationship to the child (e.g., birth certificate) and may be required to provide evidence of parental consent to travel (e.g., notarized consent letter). Travelers accompanying children who are not their own are strongly advised to carry documentation proving they have permission to travel with the child. It is the traveler’s sole responsibility to verify and obtain all necessary documentation by consulting the relevant government authorities. Alluring Americas assumes no responsibility for denied entry or travel disruptions resulting from noncompliance with any country’s requirements.
Each traveler is solely responsible for obtaining and carrying a valid passport with an expiration date of at least six (6) months beyond the date of entry into any destination country, along with any required visas, a round-trip or onward airline ticket, and sufficient funds for the duration of their stay. Alluring Americas assumes no responsibility for a traveler’s failure to obtain necessary travel documents, denial of entry, or any associated costs or losses.
Baggage weight and size restrictions vary by airline, class of service, train, and cruise vessel, and travelers are solely responsible for complying with these limitations. Any excess baggage fees incurred are the responsibility of the traveler. All baggage and personal belongings are transported at the traveler’s own risk, and Alluring Americas assumes no liability for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage at any point during the travel program.
All travelers must be in good general health to fully enjoy a trip with Alluring Americas. Travelers with medical conditions must disclose such conditions to Alluring Americas in writing no later than 91 days prior to departure. Alluring Americas and its affiliated service providers reserve the right to disqualify any traveler at any time if, in their sole discretion, the traveler is deemed medically unfit for travel. Alluring Americas and its affiliates assume no liability for the provision of medical care or special medical accommodations. Information regarding any required vaccinations for a destination will be provided upon request and during trip consultations; however, travelers are strongly advised to consult their medical provider, local health authorities, or the CDC for specific medical requirements or recommendations based on their personal medical history.
Pregnant travelers must notify Alluring Americas at the time of booking and provide a physician’s statement confirming their fitness to travel. Failure to disclose pregnancy may result in cancellation penalties as outlined in the cancellation policy. Trip insurance typically does not cover normal pregnancy. Travelers who will be beyond their fifth month of pregnancy at the start of the trip will not be accepted. Pregnant travelers assume full risk for travel, and Alluring Americas assumes no responsibility for providing medical care or special accommodations.
For the purposes of these Trip Terms & Conditions, a “Communicable Disease” refers to any illness caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi that can be transmitted from one person to another. An “Infectious Disease” is any illness caused by such microorganisms that enter the body, multiply, and result in infection.
By booking a trip with Alluring Americas, travelers acknowledge that there is an inherent risk of exposure to Communicable and Infectious Diseases (Viral, Bacterial, Parasitic, Food and Waterborne Diseases), including their variants, and any future mutations thereof. Some of these diseases can be highly contagious and may result in severe illness or death. No precautionary measures can completely eliminate the risk of exposure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other Public Health Authorities have determined that older adults and individuals with underlying medical conditions are at greater risk of severe illness or complications from certain infectious diseases. Travelers also acknowledge that they may expose others to Communicable or Infectious Diseases, even if they are asymptomatic.
By participating in a trip with Alluring Americas, travelers voluntarily assume all risks associated with exposure to Communicable or Infectious Diseases, including the potential for illness, injury, or death. Travelers understand that participation in a trip is entirely voluntary and agree that it is their sole responsibility to assess their individual risk. Alluring Americas strongly advises all travelers to consult a medical professional before booking and to consider their personal health status and any pre-existing conditions when making travel decisions.
Travelers further agree to comply with all public health regulations, mandates, and safety protocols issued by Alluring Americas and Public Health Authorities, which may include, but are not limited to: (a) mandatory testing before, during, or after travel; (b) submission to health screenings and symptom checks; (c) potential denial of participation if exhibiting symptoms of illness or known exposure to a Communicable Disease, at the sole discretion of Alluring Americas; (d) participation in contact tracing efforts; (e) compliance with isolation or quarantine requirements; (f) adherence to mask mandates and other protective measures as required by public health guidelines; and (g) compliance with physical distancing measures when applicable. Travelers acknowledge that public health protocols are subject to change at any time without prior notice, and it is their sole responsibility to stay informed and comply with the latest requirements in their destination(s).
Additionally, travelers are responsible for staying informed of government-issued travel advisories and warnings, including those issued by the U.S. Department of State and other government agencies. If a traveler chooses to proceed with their trip despite an active travel warning, they assume all associated risks, including the risk of personal injury, illness, death, or property damage. Travelers are strongly encouraged to review the latest health and safety advisories before booking and departing by visiting the CDC and the U.S. State Department websites.
By booking a trip with Alluring Americas, travelers acknowledge and agree to accept these terms, assume full responsibility for their participation, and waive any claims related to exposure to Communicable or Infectious Diseases.
Alluring Americas and its affiliated companies reserve the right to capture photographs and videos of travelers during any portion of a trip for promotional, advertising, or other business purposes. By booking a trip with Alluring Americas, travelers acknowledge and agree that Alluring Americas is the sole owner of such photographs and videos and may use their image, likeness, voice, statements, or recordings for promotional use in any media format, both during and after the trip. Travelers who do not wish to have their image used must inform their guide or escort at the beginning of the trip and submit a written request to their Alluring Americas travel consultant within 31 days after the trip’s conclusion. Failure to provide timely notice constitutes irrevocable consent to Alluring Americas’ unrestricted use of such images. This agreement extends to all travelers, including minors, for whom the primary traveler grants permission on their behalf.
Alluring Americas can assist travelers with international and required internal (domestic or regional) flight reservations in any requested class of service, except for Basic Economy or equivalent fare types, due to their restrictive nature. Certain trips require internal flights to be purchased through Alluring Americas. We do not facilitate mileage upgrades or mileage redemption requests. Airfares are subject to change until tickets are issued, and all reservations require traveler names exactly as they appear on their passports. Flight confirmations are subject to availability and cannot be finalized until a passport copy is provided to Alluring Americas.
For flights not booked through Alluring Americas, we assume no responsibility for errors or discrepancies in third-party airfare bookings. It is solely the traveler’s responsibility to ensure that their arrival and departure flights align with the designated trip start and end cities.
Alluring Americas acts solely as an independent intermediary for air travel arrangements and does not own, manage, control, or operate any airline. By purchasing an airline ticket, whether through Alluring Americas or another entity, travelers enter into a direct contract with the airline, not Alluring Americas. All airline-related matters, including seat assignments, name changes, schedule changes, insufficient travel documentation, flight delays, cancellations, or any other modifications, are the sole responsibility of the airline. Any changes or cancellations made to airline reservations before or after travel begins are subject to the airline’s change and cancellation policies, including all associated fees. Airlines operate as independent contractors, and Alluring Americas assumes no liability for any act, omission, or event occurring while travelers are not on board the aircraft. International air carriers are governed by applicable international air conventions, which limit their liability. The terms and conditions printed on airline tickets constitute the sole contract between the traveler and the airline, and Alluring Americas shall not be held liable for any claims arising from air travel services.
Alluring Americas, including its employees, officers, directors, agents, affiliates, and assigns, acts solely as an independent intermediary for the provision of travel services and does not own, manage, control, or operate any accommodations, transportation providers (airlines, trains, vessels, motor vehicles), restaurants, ground handling services, or other travel-related entities. All such service providers are independent contractors, and as a result, Alluring Americas assumes no liability for any negligent, willful, or otherwise improper acts or omissions of these third-party suppliers or any unrelated third parties.
By booking a trip with Alluring Americas, travelers acknowledge and agree that Alluring Americas is not responsible for any personal injury, financial loss, illness, disease, death, property damage, inconvenience, or delay arising from, but not limited to, acts of God or force majeure, epidemics, pandemics, war, civil unrest, strikes, labor disputes, criminal or terrorist activity, mechanical failures, weather conditions, overbooked accommodations, transportation failures, or failure of any provider to honor its contractual obligations. Furthermore, adventure travel involves inherent risks, including but not limited to accidents, exposure to wildlife, high-altitude treks, water-based activities, and remote locations far from medical facilities. Travelers voluntarily assume all risks associated with these activities and acknowledge that medical care and evacuation may be delayed or unavailable.
If a traveler voluntarily participates in high-risk activities, including but not limited to hot air ballooning, scuba diving, zip-lining, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, wildlife tracking, hiking, or any other physically demanding activity, they accept full responsibility for their participation and release Alluring Americas from all liability for any illness, injury, death, or property damage arising from such activities, including those resulting from negligence. Travelers further agree not to file claims against Alluring Americas for any loss or damage related to their participation in such activities, including cancellation, injury, or death.
Force Majeure & Travel Disruptions: Alluring Americas is not liable for any failure to perform its contractual obligations when such failure results from force majeure events, including but not limited to war, terrorism, riots, natural disasters, health emergencies, government-imposed travel restrictions, industrial actions, airline schedule changes, or other circumstances beyond its control. In the event of trip cancellations, modifications, or disruptions due to such events, Alluring Americas shall not be responsible for additional costs incurred by the traveler, including but not limited to non-refundable airfare, insurance, visas, and other travel arrangements.
Travel Documents & Compliance: Travelers are solely responsible for ensuring that they possess valid passports, visas, entry permits, and any required vaccinations for all destinations on their itinerary. Alluring Americas assumes no responsibility for denial of entry, deportation, or additional costs due to non-compliance with a country’s travel regulations. It is the traveler’s responsibility to review the latest travel advisories by consulting official government sources such as the U.S. Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Travelers who choose to proceed with travel despite official advisories assume all associated risks, including personal injury, illness, or property loss.
Changes & Cancellations by Alluring Americas: Alluring Americas reserves the right to modify, reschedule, or cancel any trip, in whole or in part, due to unforeseen circumstances. In the event of cancellation prior to departure (except due to force majeure), travelers may receive a refund subject to supplier policies and non-refundable deposits. Alluring Americas also reserves the right to substitute accommodations, transportation, or services if required and to decline to accept or retain any traveler whose behavior is deemed disruptive to the trip or detrimental to the safety and experience of other participants. Any costs incurred due to a traveler’s removal from the trip shall be the sole responsibility of the traveler.
Arbitration Agreement: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Trip Terms & Conditions, the travel itinerary, or any information regarding an Alluring Americas trip or service shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration in Orlando or Winter Park, Florida, in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Parties may appear by telephone or video conference. Each party shall bear its own fees, costs, and expenses, as well as an equal share of any arbitrator and administrative fees.
