Booking
A deposit of $300 per person in US Dollars (inclusive of a $100 non-refundable service fee) is required to secure a reservation. The reservation is considered confirmed only upon receipt of both the deposit and a completed reservation form by Holy Kemet.
SINGLE SUPPLEMENT
Single supplements apply to passengers without roommates. While Holy Kemet assists in pairing willing roommates, it does not guarantee availability. If a roommate cannot be found, a single passenger is responsible for the single supplement charge.

Holy Kemet strongly recommends purchasing a travel insurance plan. Check with your health insurance provider, as many US medical coverage plans may not cover international travel. Insurance costs are based on the total tour cost, including air taxes and charges listed under "Not Included."

Final payment for all tours is due 60 days before departure. Payment for retail tours can be made by check, Visa, Discover, or MasterCard. Late payments are subject to a minimum penalty of $200 per person and may result in reservation cancellation without a refund.
Final payment for trips including a cruise is due 90 days prior to departure.
