The CFW is non-refundable and non-transferable. The CFW cannot be transferred to another reservation, departure date or tour after booking has been made. Changing an existing booking to another date or tour will result in losing the CFW premium paid on the original booking. If you do not wish to purchase the CFW, simply deposit the without CFW amount. This non-refundable fee waives all cancellation fees and penalties, provided we are notified of the cancellation one day before your tour departs. While on tour, if a passenger must leave early due to a personal illness, illness or death of a member of the immediate family or a traveling companion, the purchase of the Cancellation Fee Waiver guarantees full refund for any unused services. For motorcoach tours, return transportation will be provided (the mode of transportation will be determined at the discretion of Mayflower Tours.)The injury or sickness must be, in the written opinion of a physician, so disabling as to cause a trip to be interrupted and must require the care and attendance by a physician at the place of occurrence. This program has certain exclusions. Mayflower Tours reserves the right to alter its Refund and Cancellation Policy when a substantial amount of cancellation or postponement of travel is attributable to: conditions resulting from an act of God, natural or man-made disaster, fire, government action, civil disorder, war, hostilities between nations, or unavailability of transportation through no fault of Mayflower Tours. Freedom to Travel Guarantee - On those rare occasions when the Exclusions mentioned above make it necessary to modify its Refund and Cancellation Policy, Mayflower's "Freedom To Travel" Guarantee will take effect for those passengers who purchased the Cancellation Fee Waiver. This Guarantee will allow travelers to apply all monies paid to Mayflower Tours, including the Cancellation Fee Waiver, toward any future Mayflower tour that departs within 12 months of their notification. Cancellation Fee Waiver (CFW) is not an insurance. It is a self-funded refund and waiver program for cancellations and early departures from tour programs, and contains various exclusions. If actual insurance coverage is desired for occurrences such as travel delay; lost, stolen or damaged luggage; medical and emergency medical transportation; supplier default; or related services, then it is strongly recommended that a traveler contact a travel insurance company. It is also recommended if a traveler desires a trip cancellation refund program not funded by Mayflower Tours, that a travel insurance company be contacted. One firm offering some or all of these services is MH Ross Travel Insurance Plan (1-800-423-3632).
Refund and Cancellation Policy

All payments for land and cruise arrangements (less the deposit amount which is non-refundable) will be refunded when cancellations are made more than 30 days prior to departure.
