General Terms & Conditions

The following are general terms & conditions regarding travel with Princeton Journeys. Please read carefully the specific terms & conditions as outlined for the trip you will be taking. Space on Princeton Journeys' trips is limited. Please register and submit the appropriate deposit amount by the date specified in the Trip Details.

Pre-Registration: Many of the Princeton Journeys sell out within weeks of their initial announcement. In order to assure that you will not miss out on the opportunity to travel to the destinations that most interest you, we do offer pre-registration for those programs that do not yet have a brochure available. Pre-registration forms are available on each of the program pages and will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. If a brochure is already listed for a program (in the section "Download Brochure") pre-registration is not possible. When making a deposit for these programs, your reservation will be confirmed (space permitting), and you will be subject to the cancellation policies set forth for each program.

Pre-registration does require a deposit. By depositing now, you will be assured a spot on the trip, provided it is not already sold out by the time your deposit is received by Princeton Journeys and the minimum number of participants necessary to run the program register. However, your deposit will be fully refundable up to the time normal registration opens-that is, when the trip-specific marketing (print or electronic) is launched, normally eight to ten months prior to the program's departure. If, for any reason, you wish to relinquish your spot prior to receiving the brochure, or within two weeks of the brochure being available, your deposit will be refunded with no penalty. After that time, your pre-registration deposit will become a fully-registered deposit and will be subject to cancellation policies governing the particular program in which you are enrolled.

Cancellations and Refunds: All cancellations must be in writing to The Alumni Association of Princeton University. Cancellations must be received by the date specified in the Trip Details and are subject to a per person non-refundable administrative fee. NOTE: Neither The Alumni Association of Princeton University nor the tour operators, accept liability for any airline cancellation penalty incurred by the purchase of a non-refundable ticket in connection with a tour.

Insurance: As a service to its travelers, The Alumni Association of Princeton University automatically provides all travelers basic medical and evacuation coverage under a group travel insurance policy. It is highly recommended that you supplement this basic protection with your own additional coverage, as well as trip cancellation/interruption or baggage coverage. Information on additional insurance is available and will be mailed upon receipt of your reservation.

Disclaimer: Princeton University, through its Alumni Association, is pleased to provide this service of facilitating travel opportunities for its Alumni and Friends. We strive to work with the best tour operators to make available interesting and enriching travel opportunities for the Princeton family. PLEASE NOTE: The University does not conduct tours, nor does it act as an agent for guests interested in tours. The Alumni Association acts as a facilitator with tour operators, with whom tour participants make arrangements for completing travel. We are pleased to act as a liaison with tour operators should you have any questions or concerns that may arise before, during, or after your tour. The Alumni Association encourages you to familiarize yourself thoroughly with the tour operator's cancellation and refund policies, and also to investigate available services such as trip cancellation insurance. The University is not responsible for changes to trips or travel arrangements, nor for losses or additional expenses resulting from travel.
