If you are using our payment plan option, you must submit a non-refundable, non-transferable, per person deposit (specified deposit will be listed on trip detail page) at the time of booking to reserve your space.
You may submit payments to ANSE by check, money order, online transfers or credit card. Money Orders or Cashier’s Check can be mailed to:

DEPOSITS: A deposit is due at the time of reservation. All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE: As a courtesy we offer payment plans for our trips. Your monthly payments start the following month after booking on the same day you paid your deposit. A monthly payment of the minimum amount due is required each month via debit. You may contact us to change your payment date after booking prior to 72 hours of your payment date. Our system sends courtesy reminders about your upcoming payment but you are responsible for ensuring your payment is successful and your card is up to date.
DECLINED PAYMENTS: If your payment is declined we will attempt 2 consecutive days, and you will receive an email notifying you of declined payment. The traveler has two days to respond to email to update payment information. If a 3rd attempt fails, you will be charged an interest fee.
Traveler understands and agrees to satisfy their balance in full no less than 60 days prior to the date of arrival (unless otherwise stated). Should traveler fail to submit the final payment 60 days out, a 10% late fee will be assessed each day based on the original amount. If any traveler fails to reconcile their balance prior to 45 days of departure, their trip will be automatically canceled.
MISSED PAYMENTS: Once you miss two monthly payments your trip is subject to cancellation. Once your trip is cancelled you will be notified via your email.
You have 24 hours from the time of booking to cancel a trip for a full refund. After 24 hours, the trip deposit – and all future payments – are non-refundable. After 24 hours, penalties and fees may be incurred for cancellations and transfer to another person or date.
ANSE does not have control over the form of refund issued by some airlines and or travel suppliers. Some travel suppliers may not provide refunds (in cash) and/or credits. Many airlines will issue travel vouchers as a method of refund.
Please look at the payment page for the refund/cancellation policy for your specific trip. ANSE has no control over individual supplier policies. We highly recommend looking at the refund policies for your designated supplier prior to booking.

Package pricing is subject to change at any time prior to a confirmed booking with a deposit received. The package price may be increased or decreased without warning until a deposit has been received.
Occasionally, we may offer discounted pricing based on inventory which is not retroactive to previously purchased bookings. *Meetup members will have first access to trips and will occasionally receive discount coupons.
Any changes in occupancy done post booking will be done at the current pricing available.
UNUSED ARRANGEMENTS AND MINIMUM PASSENGER REQUIREMENTS
As Art N Soul Escapes’ tour prices are based on contract rates, there will not be any refund for any unused portion of a tour. Some group tours are based on minimum numbers of passengers traveling; if the number of passengers falls below the minimum required, a surcharge may be imposed or the tour may be canceled.
We will attempt to pair you with another client, of the same gender, who also needs a roommate as a courtesy. However, if 90 days before your trip, you do not have a roommate; you will be required to pay the single occupancy supplement for your trip, and your balance will be updated to reflect the new occupancy.
We are not responsible if roommate situations do not work out. We highly suggest you make contact with the proposed roommate within 72 hours of notification before any changes occur.
If a disapproval is not received in writing, your agent will proceed with the roommate matching.
Roommates must complete separate registration forms and submit their deposits within 24 hours of one another in order to secure a reservation if they intend on paying separate deposits.
Once the registration forms and deposit is received each roommate can make their monthly payments by the specified payment due date.
All reservations must state who will be sharing rooms on the registration form. Resorts and hotels have the right to either forfeit or charge an additional fee at the current rate for reservations that does not state the correct occupancy upon arrival.
Passports are required for all U.S. citizens traveling abroad. Due to TSA Secure Flight requirements, you must enter all traveler names on your reservation exactly as they appear on each traveler’s passport, including titles such as Jr. or Sr. and any multiple first, middle or last names.
If inaccurate information is provided, airlines may charge penalties to make corrections or even deny boarding. Any changes in names or passport information should be reported to us immediately via email.
Be advised that any name changes or changes in passport information after you complete your booking may result in additional fees. It is strongly suggested that passengers check with the respective consulate(s) or visa agency to determine whether any visas or passports are required.
VISA: A visa may be required for certain international travel and is the traveler’s responsibility to insure the proper documents are submitted on time and a visa is obtained prior to the traveler’s departure date. Many countries require passports to expire 6 months post travel and 1-2 blank pages.
