Terms and Conditions
Reservations: Travel agencies provide valuable
service and counseling to prospective travelers. We
encourage you to make your Gray Line of Alaska
reservations with a travel professional. Travel
agencies work on your behalf and are not owned
or controlled by Gray Line of Alaska. Your deposits
and payments for Gray Line of Alaska services are
to be paid to your travel agency with whom you
make your reservation. Since space available on
tours is limited, reservations should be made as
early as possible. Travel documents will be issued
only if and when full payment has been received by
Gray Line of Alaska from the travel agency. Refunds
for cancelled or unused services will normally be
made to the same travel agency on the basis of the
amount actually received by Gray Line of Alaska
less any applicable cancellation fees and charges.
You are responsible for obtaining from your travel
agency monies either retained by the agency or
received by the agency from Gray Line of Alaska.
For further information, please visit our website at
www.graylinealaska.com.
Deposit & Final Payment: A deposit of US $250
per person, or 100% of the gross tour price if the
gross tour price is less than US $250 per person,
is due within 5 days of booking in order to hold
your reservation. Final payment is due no later
than 45 days prior to departure. Payment by VISA,
MasterCard, American Express, Discover Card or
agency check is accepted. For faster processing,
the travel agent should include a customer
number on the agency check.
Travel Documents: Travel documents are only
issued after Gray Line of Alaska has received full
payment.
Cancellation Policy: A full refund will be made
for written cancellations received by Gray Line of
Alaska at least 46 days prior to the date on which
you are to commence travel (by air, rail, sea or
otherwise). Guests, who cancel after that date for
any reason, including medical or family reasons, are
subject to the following cancellation fees: 45-31
days before commencing travel - 50% of gross fare;
30 days or less before commencing travel - 100% of
gross fare. Fees incurred as a result of cancellation
cannot be applied to future bookings. Travel agents
may impose their own cancellation fees. Agency
fees of any nature are a matter to be decided
on solely by the agency and guests. Given that
the resale of cancelled space on a tour will likely
result in a lost opportunity to sell space on other
tours, these fees are due regardless of resale. Travel
documents are non-transferable. Name changes
and departure date changes on any portion of your
booking are considered reservation cancellations
and are subject to cancellation fees. Cancelation
of sightseeing packages (one day tours) more than
48 hours before the tour will receive a full refund.
Sightseeing packages cancelled 48 hours or less
before departure will result in a 100% cancelation
penalty.
Late Reservations: For reservations requested 45
days or less before departure, we must have a
guest’s credit card information so that payment
can be effected once the space is confirmed.
If the reservation is cancelled after acceptance
of confirmation, our cancellation policy and
applicable fees apply.
Medical Services: Medical services may be limited
given the remote areas in which some tours
operate. If your condition requires that you have
a special medical apparatus or assistance during
your tour, we must be made aware of that at
time of booking in order to determine whether
we can accommodate your needs. If you are
using prescription drugs, please bring an
adequate supply with you and keep them in your
carry-on luggage.
Immigration & Customs: All travelers, including
U.S. and Canadian citizens, may be required
to present a valid passport or other approved
secure document when entering the U.S.
We strongly recommend carrying a passport
that is valid for at least six months beyond
the completion date of your travel. You are
responsible for securing proper documentation
for the countries visited on your tour and for
entry or reentry to the U.S. Travel may be denied
or fines may be levied against those guests
without proper documentation; payment of
any fines levied is the responsibility of the guest.
Guests who have been convicted of a felony will
not be permitted entry to Canada.
U.S. citizens may check with the U.S. Department of
State for passport requirements of each county in
their itineraries. We strongly recommend that U.S.
residents register their valuables with U.S. Customs
before departure.
Non-U.S. citizens must be in possession of a valid
passport and any necessary visas. In addition, nonU.S. citizens who have previously been admitted
to the U.S. for permanent residence must carry
their passports and Permanent Resident Cards
(Form I-551), commonly known as a Green Card.
Non-U.S. citizens should check with the Embassy
or Consulate of each country in the itinerary for
passport and visa requirements.
Guests with Disabilities: Gray Line of Alaska does
not discriminate against persons on the basis
of disability. We seek, to the extent feasible,
to accommodate the needs of persons with
disabilities. Service animals are permitted if prior
arrangements have been made. Certain facilities
may not be fully accessible to persons with
disabilities. While Gray Line of Alaska endeavors to
contract with companies which provide accessible
services and facilities, we cannot guarantee that
all of those services and facilities will be fully
accessible. In limited situations where an individual
with a disability would be unable to satisfy
certain specified safety and other criteria, even
when provided with appropriate auxiliary aids
and services, we may find it necessary to ask the
individual to make alternative travel arrangements.
We must be notified of any special medical,
physical or other requirements of guests at the
time of booking. Please contact our Access Office
via email at [email protected], via
fax at 661-284-4408 or by phone at 1-877-425-6545
or 661-284-4521. Please note that all requests must

discretion including in response to insufficient

a clause specifying certain courts in the State of
Washington as the exclusive forum for resolving

portions of the tours provided by any person or
company other than Gray Line of Alaska (such as

other vessels other than those operated by Gray
Line of Alaska, meals and medical care providers)
are performed by independent contractors, are
solely at your risk and are subject to the terms
or arrangements made by you or on your behalf

Accuracy of Contents: The contents of this
brochure are accurate as of the date of printing
and are subject to change at any time at the
discretion of Gray Line of Alaska. Please refer to our
website, www.graylinealaska.com for up-to-date
information.
Increases in Fares or Taxes: If cost factors dictate the
need for fare increases, Gray Line of Alaska may do
so at anytime prior to departure. Guests can cancel
(without paying cancellation fee) rather than accept
fare increase. This right does not apply to increases
in Taxes as described below. The term “Taxes” as used
by Gray Line of Alaska refers to certain taxes, fees
and charges imposed by governmental or quasigovernmental authorities, relating to any aspect
of your tour. If governmental action results in any
element of Taxes exceeding the estimates used
by Gray Line of Alaska for purposes of computing
the quoted amount, we reserve the right to pass
through the extra amount. No right of cancellation
exists under these circumstances.
Tour Information: Gray Line of Alaska offers a unique
opportunity for independent-minded travelers
who want flexibility in their itinerary. Our tours
are composed of components that can be added
together to provide a truly customized package.
Consequently, you will not be traveling with the
same group of people, or on the same motor
coach, throughout your tour. Gray Line of Alaska
has a large staff of experienced representatives in
Alaska. Distinguished by their blue shirts or jackets,
they can assist you along the way. Your motor
coach driver will also serve as your guide, offering
detailed information on the sights you’ll see each
day. As a courtesy to others onboard, no smoking
is allowed on the motor coach. Frequent rest stops
are scheduled for picture taking, food breaks, and
stretching. On the luxury rail cars, smoking is only
allowed in the vestibule between cars. Due to the
remote location and limited menus of many of the
meal stops, we recommend guests with special
dietary requirements make arrangements to bring
along some food to meet their special needs. Most
hotels can prepare a box lunch for you if requested
the day before departing.
